InMode intervals: how many weeks apart should FX and FORMA be done?

InMode intervals are set by doing the first several sessions 2–3 weeks apart, then deciding on a maintenance interval based on your condition after completing them. FX, which uses high-voltage pulses to help reduce fat cells, and FORMA, which uses radiofrequency heat to stimulate collagen, work on different layers, so the interval is also adjusted according to the goal. At the first consultation, we look at fat volume and the degree of sagging to decide which mode and how many sessions.

Why InMode sessions are spaced 2–3 weeks apart

FX mode sends high-voltage pulses to the subcutaneous fat layer to help fat cells gradually decrease. Because the reduction of fat cells progresses over the following weeks rather than on the day of treatment, the next session is done while the changes from the previous session are still in progress, to keep the stimulation going.

FORMA mode heats the dermis with radiofrequency to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Heat stimulation tends to build up into changes in firmness when repeated multiple times rather than once, so sessions are done together at regular intervals.

InMode FX intervals and maintenance intervals

If fat on the double chin and jawline is your concern, sessions are planned around FX, and if the skin on the cheeks and under the jaw has also loosened, FX and FORMA are sometimes done back to back on the same day. After completing sessions, maintenance intervals are set in months based on weight changes and how quickly sagging returns.

At our Suwon clinic, we advise getting InMode at least 3–5 times at 2–3 week intervals, offering FX for the double chin and jawline or full face, and FORMA for the full face, in single-session and 3-session options.

Care and precautions between InMode sessions

After treatment, you can wash your face and apply makeup right away, and for 3 days, wash with lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser. For about 7 days, avoid heavy drinking, saunas and jjimjilbang (Korean bathhouses), hot baths, and strenuous exercise, and apply moisturizer and sunscreen thoroughly.

Warmth, stinging, swelling, redness, and itching tend to subside soon, and red or purple bruises also fade over several days. If you have a pacemaker or metal implants or are pregnant, please let us know before treatment, and if blisters form or pain gets progressively worse, please contact the clinic.

FAQ

Q. If I shorten the InMode FX interval, will fat come off faster?

A. The reduction of fat cells takes several weeks, so narrowing the interval does not speed it up. Repeating at short intervals can prolong redness and sensitivity, so it is best to keep to an interval of around 2–3 weeks.

Q. After completing 3 InMode sessions, how long until I get it again?

A. After completing your sessions, we watch the changes settle over several weeks and then reassess your condition. How quickly weight increases or sagging reappears differs from person to person, so whether to continue maintenance treatments every few months is decided during consultation.

Q. Can I coordinate my InMode intervals with other lifting treatments?

A. There are options to combine it with ultrasound lifting or other treatments on the same day. However, overlapping heat-based treatments can prolong redness, so whether to do them on the same day or several weeks apart, and in what order, is decided with our medical staff based on your skin's response.
