InMode in Suwon: Possible Reactions and Side Effects

The reactions that can occur after InMode are easier to understand when divided into common and rare ones. Redness, warmth, swelling, and a stiff feeling are common and usually settle within a few days, while blisters, pigmentation, and numbness are rare but possible. If you are considering the treatment in Suwon, it is a good idea to tell us about your health and previous treatments in advance so that the plan can be made in a way that reduces rare side effects.

• Redness, warmth, swelling, and a stiff feeling are common reactions and usually settle within a few days.
• Blisters, burn marks, pigmentation, and temporary numbness can occur in rare cases.
• If you have an implanted electronic device, are pregnant, or have skin inflammation, whether to proceed is decided separately.

What reactions commonly appear right after the treatment?

InMode uses radiofrequency heat and high-voltage pulses, so it is common for the skin to look red and feel warm right after the treatment. This usually settles within a few hours to a day, but it may last a little longer if the skin is thin or sensitive.

Mild swelling may feel more noticeable the day after the treatment and goes down over a few days. The areas treated with pulses may feel stiff like sore muscles or tender when pressed.

These reactions are close to the skin's natural response to heat and stimulation, but their degree and duration vary from person to person. If a reaction does not ease but instead gets worse, that is when it needs to be checked.

What side effects can occur in rare cases?

The side effects below are uncommon but possible, so it is better to know about them before the treatment. Knowing in advance means you can contact us calmly if a symptom appears.

• If heat concentrates in one spot, a small blister or burn mark may form.
• After a burn mark or inflammation, the skin may temporarily darken, which is called pigmentation.
• You may temporarily feel a dull or tingling sensation.
• In areas of the face with little fat, too much action on the fat layer can make the area look hollow.

Checking the temperature during the treatment and adjusting the output for each area is also meant to reduce these reactions. If a symptom appears, do not apply ointment or pop a blister on your own; contact the clinic first.

In what cases is the treatment postponed or approached with more care?

Because the treatment uses radiofrequency and electrical stimulation, whether to proceed is decided separately if you have an implanted electronic device such as a pacemaker or a metal implant in the treatment area. It is also often postponed during pregnancy or when pregnancy is possible.

If there is inflammation, a wound, or active acne in the treatment area, or if you have recently had a lot of sun exposure, the schedule can be adjusted until the skin has recovered. If you are prone to keloids or your wounds tend to heal poorly, let us know in advance during the consultation.

If your facial sensation is naturally dull, it is harder to feel the heat in time during the treatment, so more care is needed in adjusting the output. If you have a condition that affects wound healing, such as diabetes, please tell us about that as well.

What should I do before and after the treatment to reduce reactions?

For a few days before the treatment, cut back on strong exfoliation and harsh cosmetics, and avoid long exposure to the sun. On the day of the treatment, coming in with light makeup makes it easier to check your skin condition.

After the treatment, cut back on saunas, hot rooms, heavy drinking, and sweaty exercise for a few days, and wash your face gently with lukewarm water. Applying moisturizer and sunscreen regularly may help the reddened skin calm down.

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 you are unsure whether a symptom after the treatment is a common reaction or one that needs to be checked, taking a photo and contacting the clinic makes it easier to describe your condition.
