Hello.
I am Dr. Kim Dong-young, Director of Cleor Clinic Hongdae Branch.
Have you ever felt more self-conscious about your waist and abdominal lines as summer approaches or when you have to wear thin clothing?
"It's usually not noticeable, but when I wear sheer or form-fitting clothes, my waistline stands out, and I become self-conscious about photo angles."
Areas like the abdomen, waist, and thighs are structured with thick layers of fat cells, making them known as areas where volume is difficult to reduce through weight loss and general exercise alone.
Furthermore, as collagen in the dermis layer decreases over time, an environment is created where skin sagging settles in the areas where fat has been slightly reduced.
The approach that acts on fat cells while simultaneously stimulating collagen in the dermis layer is
Hongdae Body InMode
.
Today, I will summarize what the Hongdae Body InMode procedure is and how the 10-minute and 20-minute options differ.
What is Hongdae Body InMode?
👉 Hongdae Body InMode is a body contouring procedure approved by the US FDA from the Israeli company InMode. It is a non-surgical contouring treatment that combines vacuum suction, radiofrequency (RF), and high-voltage electrical stimulation at once using the Body FX handpiece.InMode is a medical device designed with different handpieces for each area.
For the face, handpieces such as InMode FX, InMode Full Face, and InMode FORMA are used,
while for the body, the Body FX handpiece, tailored to the area and thickness, is used.
At the Hongdae branch, we perform procedures using the Body FX handpiece on body areas such as the abdomen, waist, arms, and thighs.
Technical Features of Hongdae Body InMode
👉 Hongdae Body InMode is a procedure with four key features: the InMode Body FX handpiece, multi-layer vacuum and RF combination, high-voltage electrical stimulation (HVP), and a CUT OFF temperature safety system.
InMode Body FX Handpiece
It is a medical device handpiece approved by the US FDA.
Designed with area and output tailored for body parts, it is structured to act on areas with thick fat layers such as the abdomen, waist, arms, and thighs.
Multi-layer Vacuum and RF Combination
When the vacuum gently grabs and fixes the skin and fat of the treatment area, the RF energy is delivered to the SMAS layer.
It is known that when energy is delivered while the tissue is fixed, efficiency increases and the burden on surrounding normal tissue is reduced.
High-Voltage Electrical Stimulation (HVP) Additional Action
In addition to vacuum and RF, high-voltage electrical stimulation is applied to act directly on fat cells to induce apoptosis.
This step is known as the difference that distinguishes InMode from general RF-only procedures.
CUT OFF Temperature Safety System
Body FX is a procedure that reaches a relatively high temperature between 43 and 45 degrees during treatment.
The epidermal temperature is automatically checked 1,000 times per second, and if it exceeds a certain temperature, the energy is automatically cut off, applying a safety system that reduces the possibility of burns and blisters.
Effects and Advantages of Hongdae Body InMode
👉 The key advantages of Hongdae Body InMode are summarized as simultaneous approach to fat cells and elasticity, and minimal downtime for a non-surgical procedure, and the CUT OFF safety system.
First, it approaches fat cells and elasticity simultaneously.
As vacuum, RF, and high-voltage electrical stimulation work together within one handpiece, it is reported to provide volume reduction and dermal elasticity stimulation in a single session.
Next, as it is a non-surgical procedure, the burden of downtime is relatively low.
Since it is performed without incisions or liposuction, return to daily life is fast after the procedure, and it is known that procedure marks, swelling, and bruising subside within about 3 to 4 days.
Finally, the CUT OFF safety system is applied.
The epidermal temperature is automatically checked 1,000 times per second, and when a certain temperature is reached, the energy is automatically cut off, ensuring safety during the procedure.
Hongdae Body InMode Lineup
👉 At the Hongdae branch, we operate procedures using the Body FX handpiece in 10-minute and 20-minute time options, with 1-session and 3-session packages.
The 10-minute option is suitable for a single area, and the 20-minute option is suitable for a large area or two areas simultaneously.
The recommended interval is generally 3 to 4 weeks, and since changes stabilize when performed 3 times cumulatively, both 1-session and 3-session options are available.
The option configuration suitable for your treatment area, size, and schedule will be reviewed during the preliminary consultation.
Who is Hongdae Body InMode for?
Those concerned about fat in areas such as the waist, abdomen, arms, and thighs
Those who have sagging lines along with localized fat
Those looking for non-surgical procedures without the burden of incision surgery
Those who prefer lines with minimal downtime burden
Those who want to achieve gradual changes through cumulative procedures
Side Effects and Things to Know Beforehand for Hongdae Body InMode
👉 Hongdae Body InMode is a procedure where changes stabilize when performed cumulatively 3 or more times at 3 to 4-week intervals, rather than being finished in one go.
Immediately after the procedure, temporary redness, slight heat, and vacuum suction marks may accompany the treated area.
Most are reported to subside naturally within 3 to 4 days.
Since the body area has a larger surface area and thicker fat layers than the face, it takes time for the changes to stabilize.
Because it is a structural process that requires time for fat cells to be broken down and discharged through the lymphatic system, the lines settle gradually through cumulative sessions rather than immediately after a single procedure.
Please inform us in advance as the procedure may be restricted in the following cases:
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is active inflammation, infection, or herpes in the treatment area
If you use internal electrical devices such as a pacemaker
If you have a history of implants or thread procedures in the treatment area
If you have a keloid tendency or are prone to scarring
⚠️ Precautions Before and After Hongdae Body InMode Procedure
👉 For Hongdae Body InMode, management at each stage before and after the procedure affects recovery and the perception of results.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. How is Hongdae Body InMode different from exercise and dieting?
While exercise and dieting focus on whole-body weight loss and muscle strength improvement, Hongdae Body InMode is a procedure that acts directly on fat cells thickly distributed in one area.
It is a line that approaches localized fat that does not disappear even with weight loss while also providing dermal elasticity, so it is known that the range of change stabilizes when carried out along with exercise and dietary management.
Q. How is Hongdae Body InMode different from the facial InMode line?
They are different handpieces for the same InMode equipment.
At the Hongdae branch, InMode FX (for localized fat such as double chin and cheek fat), InMode Full Face (for overall face), and InMode FORMA (for collagen and elasticity) are operated for the face, while the Body FX handpiece tailored to the area and thickness is operated for the body.
Q. Can I resume daily activities immediately after receiving Hongdae Body InMode?
In most cases, daily activities are possible from the day of the procedure.
Although there may be light redness and heat immediately after the procedure, it is known as a procedure with little burden on daily life as it subsides naturally within 3 to 4 days.
Q. How many sessions of Hongdae Body InMode are needed for the changes to stabilize?
Although it varies depending on the area and thickness, changes generally stabilize when performed cumulatively 3 times at 3 to 4-week intervals.
This is also why both 10-minute and 20-minute options are operated with 3-session packages, and the recommended number of sessions suitable for your area will be reviewed together during the preliminary consultation.
Q. What are the procedure time and pain for Hongdae Body InMode?
The 10-minute option is a time configuration suitable for a single area, and the 20-minute option is suitable for large areas.
Warmth and slight stinging may accompany the procedure, but with CUT OFF technology, energy is automatically cut off when a certain temperature is exceeded, so the burden is not significant.
Q. Are there cases where I cannot receive Hongdae Body InMode?
The procedure may be restricted if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, using internal electrical devices such as a pacemaker, have a history of implants or thread procedures in the treatment area, or have a keloid tendency or active inflammation.
We will review your health condition together during the preliminary consultation.
Q. How long do the results of Hongdae Body InMode last?
The parts where fat cells are broken down and discharged into the lymphatic system settle, but new fat accumulation is an area that can progress again due to factors such as diet, exercise, and lifestyle patterns.
To maintain the results, it is known that a stable flow is achieved when dietary and exercise management are maintained after the procedure.
Localized fat and sagging body lines are not caused by a single factor, but are the result of simultaneous increases in fat cell volume and decreases in dermal collagen.
Because it is difficult to approach both changes with only one action, this is why a line that deals with both fat cells and dermal elasticity has become established.
Hongdae Body InMode is a non-surgical body contouring procedure that combines vacuum suction, radiofrequency, and high-voltage electrical stimulation at once using the Israeli InMode Body FX handpiece.
At the Hongdae branch, we also operate facial InMode lines in addition to body areas.
From InMode FX, which acts on localized facial fat such as double chin and cheek fat, to InMode Full Face, which covers the entire face, and InMode FORMA, which acts on collagen regeneration and elasticity improvement for sagging skin, we operate a line that you can choose according to your concerns.
We will personally check the option configuration suitable for your area's condition during the consultation.
