Hello.
I am Director Information Hwang of Cleor Clinic Gangnam Branch.
Have you ever felt that no matter how diligently you apply creams or ampoules, your skin elasticity is not what it used to be after your mid-30s?
"I feel burdened by strong lifting procedures, but my skin elasticity has noticeably dropped, perhaps due to a lack of collagen.
I am curious if there is a procedure that I can receive comfortably while addressing both collagen regeneration and elasticity improvement."
Collagen gradually decreases every year starting in the mid-30s, becoming the root cause of reduced skin elasticity and fine lines.
While some lifting procedures focus on pulling sagging skin, there is also a method that fundamentally induces the skin to restore its own elasticity by promoting collagen regeneration.
This approach is the Gangnam InMode Forma.
Today, I will explain how InMode Forma promotes collagen, how it differs from FX (another InMode handpiece), and the principle behind achieving lifting effects while receiving treatment comfortably.
What is Gangnam InMode Forma
👉 Gangnam InMode Forma is a multi-polar RF (radiofrequency) wireless handpiece that delivers uniform 43-degree heat to the dermis layer.
It is an FDA-approved procedure that promotes collagen and elastin synthesis, addressing natural skin elasticity and lifting simultaneously.
InMode is a representative radiofrequency lifting device developed by the US/Israeli company InMode, and it consists of two handpieces (Forma and FX).
The two handpieces have completely different approaches and specialized effects.
While Forma is specialized for collagen regeneration and elasticity improvement,
FX is specialized for fat reduction and lifting,
so the appropriate handpiece is selected based on individual skin conditions and treatment goals.
At our Gangnam branch, we approach lifting from the perspective of collagen promotion using InMode Forma,
making it a suitable option for those who want natural elasticity improvement.
Collagen Promotion Principle - The Secret of 43-Degree Heat Stimulation
👉 Gangnam InMode Forma maintains the dermis layer at a temperature in the low 40s for nearly 10 minutes, creating conditions where collagen and elastin synthesis are most active, thereby inducing active self-regeneration.
Optimal Temperature for Collagen Regeneration
Collagen and elastin are tissue components naturally synthesized in our bodies,
and their synthesis becomes most active under specific temperature conditions.
This optimal temperature is in the low 40s, and InMode Forma
induces collagen regeneration by precisely maintaining this temperature condition.
Forma's Heat Delivery Method
The Forma handpiece uses a multi-polar RF method
to deliver 43-degree heat uniformly to the skin surface.
As the handpiece gently rubs the skin surface,
heat slowly penetrates to the dermis layer,
safely reaching deep into the dermis without damaging the epidermis.
Collagen Synthesis Cycle
When the dermis layer temperature reaches the low 40s and is maintained for nearly 10 minutes,
fibroblasts are activated, and signals for collagen and elastin synthesis are turned on.
Over the weeks following the procedure, the newly created collagen settles in,
leading to a natural recovery of elasticity created by your own tissues.
Because this method uses collagen that your body creates itself without artificial fillers,
it is characterized by natural and smooth results.
Why Collagen Promotion and Lifting Effects Come Together
👉 The collagen-promoting effect of Gangnam InMode Forma leads to the recovery of skin elasticity,
and this elasticity recovery connects to a natural lifting effect, addressing both results together.
The Flow of Collagen Promotion Leading to Lifting
Step 1 - Collagen Synthesis
Fibroblasts are activated by 43-degree heat stimulation, and collagen and elastin synthesis begins.
Step 2 - Increased Dermal Density
Newly synthesized collagen and elastin settle in the dermis, making the dermal layer itself denser and thicker.
Step 3 - Elasticity Recovery
As the dermis becomes denser, skin elasticity is restored, and sagging tissues are naturally tightened.
Step 4 - Lifting Effect
The skin with restored elasticity does not sag downward and maintains its position, leading to natural lifting results.
Additional Effect - Glowing
During the collagen regeneration process, skin texture becomes smoother,fine lines are improved, and a subtle glow appears as a secondary effect.
This glowing effect is often felt within a few days after the procedure,so many people receive it before important events.
The Decisive Difference Between InMode FX and Forma👉 InMode consists of two handpieces; Forma is specialized for collagen promotion and elasticity, while FX is specialized for fat reduction, so the appropriate handpiece differs completely depending on individual goals.
InMode Forma - Specialized for Collagen & ElasticityPrinciple: Multi-polar RF heat delivery
Target Layer: Entire dermis layer
Temperature: Uniform 43 degrees
Main Effect: Promotes collagen & elastin synthesis
Results: Natural elasticity, lifting, and glowing
Pain: Similar to a warm massage
Recommended for: Those with collagen deficiency or early-to-mid-stage elasticity loss
InMode FX - Specialized for Fat Reduction
Principle: Triple action of Vacuum + RF + HVP (High Voltage Pulse)
Target Layer: Subcutaneous fat layer
Main Effect: Reduces fat cell size and number
Results: Refines double chin, jowls, and V-line
Pain: Slight sensation of stimulation
Recommended for: Localized fat management and double chin concerns
Combination of the Two Handpieces
If you need both collagen promotion and fat reduction,
combining Forma and FX is also frequently used.
The two handpieces have non-overlapping target layers and principles, so their combination provides distinct synergy.
5 Features of Gangnam InMode Forma
👉 Gangnam InMode Forma is a lifting procedure that combines 5 features: collagen regeneration, natural lifting, comfortable sensation, short downtime, and safety for all skin types.
① Promotes Collagen and Elastin Regeneration
43-degree heat stimulation activates self-collagen and elastin synthesis in the dermis,
allowing natural elasticity created by your own body to take hold.
② Comfortable Procedure
Since the handpiece gently rubs the skin surface,
you can receive the treatment comfortably, like getting a warm massage.
It is an accessible method even for those who are burdened by strong pain.
③ Short Downtime
There is only light redness immediately after the procedure, which usually clears up naturally within a few hours,
allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately.
You can receive it without burden even between busy schedules.
④ Safe for All Skin Types
It is an FDA-approved procedure and is safely applied to all skin tones and types.
It is a low-burden method even for sensitive skin,
making it suitable as your first lifting procedure.
⑤ Face and Neck Management Possible
You can manage not only the face but also the neck and décolleté,
so it is frequently used to address the balance between the face and neck.
Gangnam InMode Forma Procedure Information
👉 Gangnam InMode Forma is a procedure where collagen regeneration accumulates stably and natural elasticity and lifting results gradually take hold when performed regularly at 4-6 week intervals.
Generally, 3-5 regular sessions at 4-6 week intervals are recommended.
Rather than a dramatic change from a single session, it is a method where results settle in as sessions accumulate,
so consistent regular management is important for result satisfaction.
Collagen regeneration after the procedure progresses slowly over several weeks,
with distinct elasticity improvement confirmed from the 3-month mark,
and collagen reactions continue even after that.
Your skin condition, management goals, and session plan
will be reviewed together during the pre-procedure consultation.
Who is InMode Forma Recommended For?
Those who have lost elasticity due to collagen deficiency after their mid-30s
Those who feel burdened by strong lifting procedures
Those who want to receive treatment comfortably without pain
Those who want both fine line and skin texture improvement
Those who want to start with a light first lifting procedure
Those who need to return to daily life immediately without downtime
Those who want to manage their face and neck together
Side Effects and Things to Know in Advance for Gangnam InMode Forma
👉 Gangnam InMode Forma is an FDA-approved, safety-verified procedure with a low burden for all skin types, but collagen regeneration results have the characteristic of settling in through accumulated sessions.
There may be light redness in the treated area immediately after the procedure,
which usually clears up naturally within a few hours.
Because it uses a uniform 43-degree heat method rather than strong heat stimulation, the risk of burns is relatively low,
and it is low-burden even for sensitive skin.
You may experience slight flushing or a tingling sensation for a few days after the procedure,
but this generally clears up naturally.
Since collagen regeneration results settle in slowly over several weeks,
it is a flow where results become distinct through accumulated sessions rather than immediate dramatic changes right after the procedure.
Following the guidance of experienced medical staff, an appropriate session plan is decided after checking your skin condition and management goals during the pre-procedure consultation.
If any of the following apply to you, the procedure may be restricted or
prior confirmation may be required, so please inform us during the consultation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
If there is an active infection or wound in the treatment area
If you have a cardiac pacemaker or metal implants
If you have a recent history of filler or thread procedures in the treatment area
If you are regularly taking anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents, or have a bleeding tendency
If you have an autoimmune disease
⚠️ Precautions Before and After InMode Forma Procedure
👉 InMode Forma is a procedure where collagen regeneration results settle stably depending on post-procedure moisturizing and UV protection.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. When can I see the results of Gangnam InMode Forma?
A subtle glow and smoothness are visible on the skin immediately after the procedure,
and collagen regeneration results settle in as distinct elasticity improvement from the 3-month mark.
Results accumulate stably when performed regularly 3-5 times at 4-6 week intervals.
Q. How much does it hurt?
It is comfortable, like receiving a warm massage.
The handpiece gently rubs the skin surface to deliver uniform 43-degree heat, so there is little irritation, and the procedure can be performed without numbing cream.
Q. Can I receive it with InMode FX?
Yes, it is possible.
Forma is specialized for collagen regeneration and elasticity, while FX is specialized for fat reduction,
so the two handpieces have non-overlapping principles and provide distinct synergy when combined.
If you need both collagen promotion and fat reduction, a combination of the two handpieces is recommended.
Q. Can it be performed in parallel with other lifting procedures?
Yes, it is possible.
InMode Forma is specialized for surface collagen regeneration,
so when combined with deep-layer procedures like HIFU (Shurink/Ultherapy),
it allows for management of all layers of the face.
The order and interval of the two procedures are decided in the most appropriate way during the pre-procedure consultation.
Q. Can I wear makeup immediately after the procedure?
Light makeup is possible immediately after the procedure.
It is a procedure with almost no downtime, so you can receive it without burden even between busy schedules.
Q. Are other areas besides the face possible?
Treatment of the neck and décolleté areas is possible.
Managing the face and neck together often leads to balanced results, so many people choose to do them together.
Q. How long does the collagen-promoting effect last?
The collagen regeneration reaction induced by a single procedure lasts for several months,
and a method of repeatedly inducing regeneration reactions through regular procedures is suitable for result stability.
A maintenance plan after 3-5 regular sessions will be provided during the consultation.
Q. Can I receive it if I have sensitive skin?
InMode Forma is an FDA-approved procedure safe for all skin types.
It uses a uniform 43-degree heat method rather than strong stimulation, so it is low-burden even for sensitive skin,
and the intensity suitable for your skin condition is decided during the pre-procedure consultation.
It is a natural change for skin elasticity to start dropping as collagen gradually decreases after the mid-30s.
When you feel burdened by strong lifting procedures, there is an approach that fundamentally induces the skin to restore its own elasticity by promoting collagen regeneration, and this is Gangnam InMode Forma.
Gangnam InMode Forma uses multi-polar RF to deliver uniform 43-degree heat to the dermis layer, creating conditions where collagen and elastin synthesis are most active and actively inducing self-collagen regeneration.
The lifting effect naturally follows from the increase in dermal density through collagen regeneration, so it is characterized by natural results that are not artificial.
At our Gangnam branch, we approach collagen promotion and lifting together with InMode Forma.
Results settle stably when performed regularly 3-5 times at 4-6 week intervals,
and depending on the need, a method of combining it with the InMode FX (fat reduction) handpiece is also used.
The direction suitable for your skin condition and management goals
will be checked directly during the consultation.
