InMode in Gwonseon-dong: Why People in Their 30s and 50s Look at Different Things

Even with the same InMode treatment, people in their 30s and 50s look at different things first. This is because the amount of facial fat and skin elasticity change together with age, and when you have a consultation in Gwonseon-dong, we set the ratio of the heat stage to the pulse stage according to this difference.

• Around the 30s, we first look at how fat under the chin and below the cheeks affects the facial contour.
• In the 40s, we check area by area whether fat and loss of elasticity are present together.
• For those 50 and over, we adjust the action on the fat layer according to skin thickness and the degree of sagging.

How do concerns about facial fat and elasticity change with age?

InMode is a device that addresses skin elasticity with radiofrequency heat and acts on the fat layer with high-voltage pulses, so which stage is used as the main focus differs from person to person. Age is one of the references used when deciding that ratio.

When you are young, skin elasticity often remains while fat makes the contour look heavy, and as you age, fat decreases or moves downward and the skin becomes thinner. The chin area looking round and full or the jawline looking blurred around the 30s is also related to this pattern.

At this stage, we first distinguish how much fat is actually there and whether you are prone to frequent swelling. If fat is the main concern, we plan the pulse stage for that area and address elasticity together with the heat stage.

How is the ratio of heat to pulses adjusted for those 50 and over?

For those 50 and over, fat may decrease so the cheeks look hollow, or the remaining fat may sag downward so the area around the mouth and the jawline look heavy, and these changes can appear together. At this stage, one approach to consider is using the pulse stage selectively only on the sagging areas and increasing the share of the heat stage for elasticity.

If the sagging is deep, there may be a gap between the change expected from InMode and the actual change, so we align expectations in advance during the consultation. In the 40s, the two patterns are often mixed, so we check the state of fat and elasticity separately for each area.

That said, even at the same age, the condition of the face varies greatly depending on body type and lifestyle. The actual examination results, rather than age, are the starting point of the plan.

Do the number of sessions and intervals also change with age?

The number of sessions and intervals are decided based on skin condition and previous reactions rather than age itself, but when the skin is thin and recovers slowly, the intervals are sometimes set a little longer. A common plan is to have several sessions a few weeks apart and then review progress every few months.

The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and many people return to daily life right afterward. For a few days after the treatment, cut back on saunas and heavy drinking, and since the skin tends to get drier with age, moisturize more carefully than usual.

Are there reactions and side effects to be more careful about when the skin is thinner?

Regardless of age, redness, warmth, and mild swelling are common right after the treatment and usually settle within a few days. The areas treated with pulses may feel stiff for a few days.

If the skin is thin or dry, the heat reaction may last a little longer, and in rare cases blisters, burn marks, pigmentation, or temporary numbness can occur. If there is little facial fat, the area may look hollow after the fat layer is treated, so we check the fat distribution first during the examination.

Results and reactions vary from person to person, and whether and how to proceed is decided through examination and consultation with the medical staff. If a reaction lasts a long time, be sure to tell us before the next session.

How to Organize Your Facial Condition Before a Consultation in Gwonseon-dong

Before an InMode consultation in Gwonseon-dong, look in the mirror and organize the following points. It helps in making a plan that suits your age group.

• Note the area that looks heaviest from the front and in profile.
• Check whether your weight has changed a lot in the past year or two.
• Look for any area of the face that looks more hollow than before.
• List the medications you are taking and any implanted electronic devices or metal implants.
• Note the dates of any lifting or filler treatments you have had before.

Looking at photos from a few years ago together may help distinguish whether fat has decreased or sagged. You are welcome to bring them on your phone to the consultation.

FAQ

Q. If I have a lot of facial fat, can I have the treatment regardless of age?

A. If facial fat is your concern, we decide after confirming the amount and location of fat and skin elasticity through examination, rather than by age. It is also necessary to distinguish fat from a tendency toward frequent swelling.

Q. Is the action on the fat layer reduced as you get older?

A. In areas where the skin has thinned and fat has decreased, the action on the fat layer is often reduced or used selectively. Conversely, it may be planned for areas where sagging fat makes the contour look heavy.

Q. How is the treatment planned if both fat and sagging are concerns?

A. We look at the amount of fat and the state of elasticity separately for each area and set a different ratio of the heat stage to the pulse stage for each area. Which one to address first is decided together during the consultation.

Q. Does recovery take longer when you are older?

A. If the skin is thin and dry, redness may last a little longer, but recovery speed depends not only on age but also on skin condition and output. Moisturizing carefully and using sun protection after the treatment is the basic care.

Summary

Even with the same InMode device, the ratio of action on the fat layer to the heat stage changes with age, and the basis for that is actual skin thickness and fat distribution rather than age. If you are considering the treatment in Gwonseon-dong, organize the areas of concern you have checked in the mirror and any weight changes, and come in for a consultation. Changes and recovery vary from person to person.
