InMode Forma & FX in Seoul

How it works

Forma uses bipolar radiofrequency with temperature monitoring to heat the dermis evenly, stimulating collagen with a warm, massage-like feel. FX uses radiofrequency combined with high-voltage pulses through a small applicator, designed to disrupt fat cells in localised areas. The two are often combined in one visit.

Who it's for

Forma is commonly used for mild laxity, dullness and fine lines. FX is often considered for small areas of fullness such as a double chin or jawline. It is not a substitute for weight loss or surgery.

What to expect at The Heal Sinsa

Every visit to The Heal Dermatology Sinsa Main Branch, on the 7th floor of Sinsa Square near Sinsa Station, starts with a 1:1 consultation with a Korean board-certified dermatologist and imaging-based skin analysis. Your doctor checks whether InMode Forma & FX actually suits your concern, explains alternatives honestly, and chooses conservative settings. Treatment is done in a private single room, and English or Traditional Chinese support is available on request. Before your visit, note your current medicines, skincare products, allergies and previous procedures so the doctor can plan safely. Pricing is confirmed after consultation; see pricing and payment.

Sessions & downtime

Sessions: often 1–3, about 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance
Treatment time: about 20–40 minutes
Comfort: warmth (Forma) and snapping pulses (FX)
Downtime: mild redness or swelling for hours to a few days
Results: gradual, typically over several weeks

Risks & who should avoid

Possible effects include redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising and rarely burns or temporary nerve irritation. Avoid during pregnancy, with a pacemaker or implanted electronic device, metal implants in the area, active infection or skin disease, or recent fillers or threads without guidance. If you notice increasing pain, spreading redness, blistering, discharge or fever after treatment, contact the clinic promptly and read what to do if complications occur.

Planning around your trip to Seoul

InMode treatments have minimal downtime and can usually be done during a short stay. Swelling under the chin after FX tends to settle within a few days. Read treatment before a flight and how many days to plan, and visit international patients or getting here before you book.

What is the difference between InMode Forma and FX?

Forma is a radiofrequency skin treatment focused on firmness and texture. FX adds high-voltage pulses designed to target small fat pockets. Your dermatologist may suggest one or both, depending on whether your concern is skin quality or localised fullness.

How many InMode sessions are needed?

Many people have one to three sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. The plan depends on the area, skin thickness, how your skin responds and the goals discussed at consultation.

Is there downtime after InMode?

Most people return to normal activities immediately. Mild redness, warmth or swelling can occur, especially after FX under the chin, and usually resolves within a few days without special care.
