[Doctor's Column][Lifting ②] 'InMode (Fx & Formar)' From Facial Contour Sculpting to Dermal Density Enhancement

I feel deep empathy when I encounter the exhausted skin of everyone living a fierce life, leading busy daily routines with no time to even look in the mirror. For those in desperate need of efficient care that strengthens the skin's foundation without interfering with daily life, today I will clearly explain the core principles of "InMode Lifting (InMode Fx & Forma)" based on scientific data. 1. The Architecture of Facial Contouring: The Difference Between Ultrasound and Radiofrequency When considering lifting, many people ask whether ultrasound (such as Shurink) or radiofrequency (InMode) is better. The answer is that "they each have different roles." Imagine your face as a building. Ultrasound Lifting: This is the process of erecting a solid "steel framework" in the deep layers (SMAS) to prevent the building from collapsing. Radiofrequency Lifting (InMode): This is the process of applying cement between the pillars to "increase density (Forma)" and carving away unnecessary debris from the outer walls to "sculpt smoothly (Fx)." Just as both the framework and the exterior walls are crucial for a sturdy and beautiful building, these two procedures are the perfect partners that complement each other's shortcomings. 2. InMode's Two Core Weapons: Fx and Forma. InMode is not a single device; it combines two modes with different purposes to produce high-quality results. **Category** InMode Fx (MiniFx) InMode Forma (Forma) **Key Role** Reduction of unnecessary fat and contour sculpting Increased skin density and improved elasticity **Target Areas** Areas of fat accumulation such as double chin and deep cheeks Thin and sagging skin such as side cheeks and front cheekbones **Scientific Mechanism** Apoptosis of fat cells via High Voltage Electric Shock (HVP) Collagen remodeling through continuous radiofrequency heat **Expected Effects** Reduction of dull lower facial weight and restoration of a sharp jawline Achievement of firm skin texture without worrying about sunken cheeks 3. Why should you use Fx and Forma together? 🧩 Why should you use Fx + Forma together? The key takeaway from my clinical experience is this: 👉 “If you only improve elasticity, your face won't look smaller, and if you only reduce fat, your skin may sag.” Therefore, for a natural result, the two steps must work together: ✔ Fx → Structural Refining ✔ Forma → Skin Quality Improvement. 📌 Recommended for: ✔ Individuals in their 30s and 40s whose jawlines are starting to blur ✔ Concerns about a double chin or chubby cheeks ✔ Feeling a loss of skin elasticity ✔ Desire to look naturally younger ❗ Realistic Expectations (Important) ❌ Surgical-grade lifting → Not ❌ One-time procedure → Not ✔ Instead 👉 Cumulative effects with repetition 👉 Most efficient for early signs of aging You can only regain a natural facial contour when Fx, which refines unnecessary structures, and Forma, which improves skin quality, work in tandem. However, you cannot achieve magical surgical-grade results with just a single treatment; addressing early signs of aging gradually and surely through repeated procedures is the most realistic and efficient approach. 🩺 [Expert's Final Summary] Skin issues cannot be resolved simply by tightening the surface. Fundamental changes within the tissue are what produce results. Sunae Maypure Clinic insists on a 'Custom Vector Design' that involves a three-dimensional diagnosis of the patient's skin thickness, fat distribution, and the direction of fascial sagging to delicately distinguish between areas where fat needs to be removed and areas where elasticity needs to be restored. Through scientifically proven procedures and honest, personalized diagnoses, we invite you to experience true 'Beauty Inside Out'—firmness that fills from within, rather than just a superficial exterior.
