Choosing an InMode clinic

What should you check when choosing an InMode clinic in Korea?

The short answer

Check that the clinic tells you which handpiece your face needs and why, what area one session covers, who examines you, and what each part of the quote costs. InMode FX and Forma do different jobs, so paying for both when your concern is only one of them adds cost without adding result.

At Rewind, FX is directed at fat beneath the chin and in the cheeks, and Forma at firming the skin through collagen and elastin. The two handpieces, the combined face session and a body session each have their own listed price.

Facts about Rewind on this page come from the clinic's device lifting pages, its price sheet and its registration details.

InMode is often sold in Seoul as a single item named after the platform. Behind that name are different handpieces, different areas and different session lengths. Asking a clinic to separate them in writing turns a vague offer into one you can actually compare.

Before you book

Best InMode in Seoul: five questions to ask before a session

Each of these has a short answer. Ask every clinic the same five and the offers become directly comparable.

check 01
Which handpiece, and why
Ask whether the plan uses FX, Forma or both, and what each is meant to change on your face. A clear reason for each part is a good sign.
check 02
What one session covers
Ask how many areas the quoted session includes, for example under the chin only or the whole lower face, so you know what the price buys.
check 03
Who examines you
Ask whether a doctor assesses the face first and which specialty certification that doctor holds. Fullness under the jaw is not always fat.
check 04
Itemised prices
Ask for the price of each handpiece and of a combined session, and whether VAT is added. A bundle you cannot take apart is hard to compare.
check 05
How many sessions, and spacing
Ask whether one session or a course is suggested for your face, and how it fits around your travel. The answer should follow an examination.
Types

Comparing providers

Four ways InMode is offered in Seoul, and the first question for each

The platform appears in quite different settings. The right first question depends on which one you are dealing with.

01Surgeon

A plastic surgery clinic with lifting devices

The doctor can compare a device with liposuction or a neck procedure. Ask whether that doctor chooses the handpiece and will say when surgery fits better.

02Devices

A device-focused skin clinic

Many radiofrequency machines may be on offer. Ask whether you will receive InMode specifically, and which handpiece is included in the price.

03Package

InMode inside a V-line or contour package

Some packages pair InMode with another device or an injection. Ask which handpiece is inside the package and what each component costs separately.

04Agency

A session booked by an agency

The agency books the time; the clinic does the treatment. Ask for the clinic, the handpieces and the areas, then compare with the clinic's own list.

How Rewind answers the InMode checklist

These answers come from the clinic's device pages and price sheet.

01FX

FX for fat under the chin and in the cheeks

The clinic's device record describes the FX handpiece as reducing fat beneath the chin and in the cheeks. It is listed for the face and, separately, for one body area.

02Forma

Forma for firmer skin

Forma heats the skin to promote collagen and elastin. When the concern is loose skin and not fullness, Forma alone may be the plan; when it is both, the combined session applies.

03Diagnosis

A plastic surgeon chooses the handpiece

Dr. Jonghwan Choi, a board-certified plastic surgeon, examines the jaw line and neck first. If the fullness is a gland or a loose muscle band, a handpiece will not change it, and he says so.

Suitability

Who InMode tends to suit, and when another route is better

Often a good fit when

  • A small amount of fat softens the jaw line or sits under the chin
  • Lower-cheek fullness blurs the outline of the face
  • Skin has begun to lose firmness and you want it tighter
  • You want a change without injection, incision or downtime
  • A body area has a modest pocket of fat you would like reduced

Another route may suit when

  • The fullness is a salivary gland or a loose neck muscle
  • The fat volume is large enough that liposuction is more practical
  • Heavy, descended skin needs lifting, not tightening
  • You are pregnant or have an implanted electronic device
  • The skin in the area is infected or inflamed
After

After the session

InMode aftercare on a short stay in Seoul

Ordinary activity resumes the same day. The clinic's instructions are about heat, friction and skincare for the next few days.

Same day
Back to your day
Mild redness or warmth may be felt. Do not rub or strongly stimulate the treated area.
First days
Skip the bathhouse
Avoid saunas, public baths and jjimjilbang while the skin settles.
Skincare
Gentle products only
Use mild cleansers and leave out exfoliation and harsh products for a while.
Months after
Gradual change
The clinic records device lifting results lasting from six months to more than a year, depending on skin and plan.

Possible effects include swelling, bruising, itching, redness and, uncommonly, surface burns or small blisters. These usually settle by themselves; report pain that increases after you leave. Results vary by individual.

Doctor

Professional

A handpiece can only change what it is aimed at. At Rewind the doctor who chooses it can also explain the surgical options for the same jaw line.

Questions

Choosing an InMode clinic: common questions

What is the difference between InMode FX and Forma?
At Rewind, FX is directed at fat beneath the chin and in the cheeks, while Forma heats the skin to promote collagen and elastin. One targets fullness, the other firmness. The doctor decides after examining you whether you need one, the other or both.
Why do InMode quotes vary between clinics in Seoul?
Quotes can cover different handpieces, different areas and different session lengths under the same platform name. Ask each clinic to list the handpieces and areas included and whether VAT is added. Rewind prices FX, Forma, the combined face session and a body session separately.
Will InMode get rid of a double chin?
It can reduce a modest amount of fat under the chin with the FX handpiece. If the fullness comes from a salivary gland or a loose muscle band, or the fat volume is large, liposuction or a neck procedure may be more effective, which a plastic surgeon can assess.
Do I need the combined FX and Forma session?
Only if your face has both concerns, fullness and loose skin. If the examination finds only one, the matching handpiece alone is listed at a lower price. Ask the clinic to explain why each handpiece in a quote is included.
How many InMode sessions will I need?
Rewind does not publish a fixed course. The number of sessions is decided after the examination, depending on what the handpiece is treating and how your skin responds, and a course is quoted at consultation.
Can I have InMode the day before a flight?
Ordinary activity resumes the same day, so a flight is usually manageable. Swelling, bruising or itching can appear and settles by itself. Leave a little time if you can, and keep the area away from rubbing, saunas and harsh skincare.
Can InMode be used on the body?
Yes. Rewind lists Body InMode FX for one body area on the FX handpiece, priced separately from face sessions. Which area is suitable is decided at the consultation.
Can I ask about InMode before booking?
Yes. Use the form below or WhatsApp to describe whether fullness, loose skin or both concern you and when you will be in Seoul, and Rewind replies as soon as possible. The handpiece is chosen only after the doctor examines you.

Scientific evidence

Research behind the InMode checklist

The first paper studies bipolar radiofrequency for submental laxity, including its side effects; the second examines how selective radiofrequency heating injures fat cells; the third reviews the evidence behind non-invasive body contouring devices; the fourth reviews the mechanisms and effects of such devices. None of these studies included Rewind patients, and none tested this clinic's device.
