I'm Dr. Hyunji Kim, Director and Lead Physician at Delphic Clinic in Gangnam. I trained at Korea University Medical Center and focus on lifting and contouring, so InMode is something I use and explain almost daily.

InMode Korea Reddit threads come up in consultations with two opposite worries: 'Will it melt the fat in my face?' and 'Is it so cheap that it does nothing?' Both come from real experiences, often with different devices. Here is how I sort out what you're reading.

Why InMode Korea Reddit threads contradict each other

One person had Forma for tightening, another had FX for jawline fat, and a third had Morpheus8 with needles. All three call it 'InMode'. Reading those threads together is like comparing a facial, a fat-dissolving injection and microneedling as if they were one treatment.

FormaHeats skin to tightenWarm, like a hot stone
FXContours small fat areasHeat with brief pulses
Morpheus8Needle-based RFPrickly, more downtime
What the name usually means

If Morpheus8 is what you've been reading about, I cover it separately in my Morpheus8 guide.

The fat-loss worry: when it's real

The 'my face looks older' stories are mostly from lean faces where FX reduced fat that wasn't the problem. Sagging and fat are different issues. On a thin face I use Forma for tightening only, or suggest a different treatment entirely.

The right question isn't 'Does InMode work?' It's 'Does my face need less fat, or tighter skin?'— Dr. Hyunji Kim, Delphic Clinic

InMode Korea price at our clinic

InMode 1 area (Fx or Forma)₩90,000$70
InMode Full Face (Fx or Forma)₩150,000$110

InMode for the entire face (Fx or Forma) (First-visit trial)₩99,000$70
Prices exclude VAT · the exact same price for local and international patients. Your final plan and quote are confirmed at the free consultation.

What the price includes and how it compares to other lifting options is in my InMode cost guide. Areas and handpieces are listed on our InMode treatment page.

Who I'd steer away from InMode

  • Very lean faces where volume loss is the main issue.
  • Metal implants or a pacemaker near the treatment area.
  • Pregnancy, or active skin infection.
  • Expecting a surgical-level lift from one session.

Questions to send any clinic

  1. 1Which handpiece will you use on my face, Forma, FX or both, and why?
  2. 2Who performs it?
  3. 3Will you avoid fat reduction if my face is lean?
  4. 4Is the price the same for foreign patients?

I received ONDA lifting and Juvelook Skin treatment at Delpic Clinic. Before the procedure, Dr. K carefully examined my skin condition and explained everything in a kind and easy-to-understand way, which made me feel very comfortable and reassured. During the treatment, I could really tell that Dr. K was highly skilled, so I felt confident and at ease throughout the entire process. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience. It’s definitely a clinic I would love to visit again.

Frequently asked questions

What does InMode mean at a Korean clinic?

InMode is the manufacturer. In Korean clinics, 'InMode' on a menu usually means a face treatment with the Forma (radiofrequency heat for tightening) and FX handpieces. Morpheus8 is a different, needle-based InMode handpiece.

How much is InMode in Korea at Delphic Clinic?

InMode for one area (FX or Forma) is 90,000 KRW and the full face is 150,000 KRW. First-visit trial prices are 49,000 KRW and 99,000 KRW.

Can InMode make my face look hollow?

It can if it's used to reduce fat on a face that's already lean. I check this before treating and choose tightening rather than fat reduction for thin faces.

Is there downtime after InMode?

Most people have warmth and redness for a few hours and mild tenderness for 2 to 3 days. You can usually go out the same day.
