Facial Contour Injection vs InMode: A Fair Comparison
The short answer
The facial contour injection, called the Bom injection, is a fat-dissolving injection for 5 sagging fat areas, while InMode uses suction and radiofrequency for the double chin and deep cheek, so one is an injection and the other a device. Shinebom Clinic in Jamsil offers both, and the doctor helps you choose.

What might the doctor weigh?
The area, how much fullness there is, how firm your skin is, and whether you want an injection or a device. Skin laxity may suggest a lifting device, while localized fullness may suggest something else. The clinic combines devices and injectables per person.
