InMode FX and Forma Devices in Jamsil, Seoul
The short answer
InMode is a pair of devices, FX and Forma, from Invasix in Israel that combine suction with radiofrequency, and Shinebom Clinic in Jamsil, Seoul uses them for the double chin and deep cheek area. The suction handpiece draws tissue into the applicator while RF warms it. This page covers the machine, not the full treatment.

What is InMode?
InMode is the name patients often use for the platform sold by Invasix, an Israeli company. At Shinebom Clinic, two applicators are in use: FX and Forma. Both are listed among the clinic's 17 devices. What sets them apart from most lifting devices is that they pair mechanical suction with radiofrequency.
How do suction and RF work together?
The applicator gently draws a fold of tissue toward its electrodes. Radiofrequency energy then warms that tissue. Generally, the idea is that holding the tissue in position lets heat reach where it is needed, with the aim of firming the skin and treating the fat layer beneath it. The sensation is typically described as a pulling pressure together with warmth.
What is the difference between FX and Forma?
The clinic lists both names under one device entry, and the doctor chooses the handpiece and settings per person. Generally, a treatment can use more than one applicator in a session, adjusted to the area and the thickness of tissue. Ask the doctor at consultation which one is planned for you.
Where does the clinic use it?
- The double chin area
- The deep cheek area
These are the same zones that Ulthera addresses, but the mechanism is different: ultrasound goes deep and focused, while InMode relies on suction-assisted RF. If a fat-dissolving injection is a better fit, the clinic also offers the facial contour injection, and the two are compared in this guide.
How often, and who should check first?
The clinic suggests a repeat at 1 to 3 months if needed. Tell the doctor about pregnancy, implants, skin infections and bruising tendencies, because suction can leave marks. Bruising, swelling and redness settle within one to two weeks in the clinic's lifting-device aftercare; see the aftercare guide. Prices are quoted after consultation.
