RF+EMS for skin tightening and body contouring

Duration
30-60 min
Downtime
0 days
Sessions
8-12 sessions (1-2 wk intervals)

About This Treatment

InMode combines RF (radiofrequency) and EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) with interchangeable handpieces: FaceTite (face), Forma (skin tightening), BodyFX (body contouring). Simultaneous RF volumetric heating and EMS muscle stimulation achieve laxity improvement and fat reduction.

Mechanism of Action

InMode RF component provides volumetric heating from dermis to subcutaneous fat, triggering collagen contraction and neogenesis. Simultaneous EMS current directly stimulates superficial muscle, causing contraction and remodeling. Fat layer experiences thermolytic fat cell apoptosis.

Indications

Sagging / contourBody contouring / slimming

Expected Results

30-50% facial laxity improvement, 2-5cm circumference reduction in 8-12 sessions. Peak results at 3-6 months.
