InMode Procedure: Step by Step from Consultation to Going Home
Step-by-step
- Consultation: Dr. Lee Da-in reviews your concerns (under-chin and jawline fat, v-line), medical history, medications and past treatments.
- Treatment plan: areas (under-chin, jawline, cheeks, around the eyes), intensity or dose, and the expected course are explained.
- Preparation: cleansing, then anaesthesia — usually not needed.
- Treatment: performed with InMode FX & Forma, taking about 20–40 minutes.
- Calming and going home: soothing care if needed and aftercare instructions. Downtime: minimal (some swelling or soreness after FX).
How it works
InMode is a radiofrequency platform. The FX mode uses high-voltage pulses on localized fat cells, and the Forma mode heats the dermis to contract collagen and improve firmness.
Tell the doctor before treatment
