墨白 InMode has sparked a significant trend in South Korea’s aesthetic medicine industry in recent years, featuring a non-surgical approach that combines lipolysis with skin tightening treatments, attracting numerous individuals who wish to lose weight without undergoing surgery. This article provides an overview of InMode’s actual fee structures in South Korea for the year 2026, the price differences for various treatment areas, and key considerations when choosing a clinic, to help you prepare thoroughly before making your decision.
What is InMode? Why is it so popular in South Korea?
InMode is an RF energy platform developed by the Israeli medical technology company InMode Ltd. It offers multiple treatment modalities, and its core technology involves using RF energy to heat the subcutaneous fat layer. This process not only breaks down stubborn fat but also stimulates the production of new Collagen, thereby helping to define contours and reduce skin laxity.
Compared to traditional surgical liposuction, InMode is considered a minimally invasive or non-surgical treatment option. It features a short recovery period, allowing patients to resume their normal daily activities shortly after the procedure. This is precisely why it has become so popular in South Korea. Additionally, given the fierce competition among clinics in South Korea and the transparent pricing system, the overall cost-performance ratio is significantly higher than that in Taiwan, attracting numerous tourists who travel specifically to experience this treatment.
The main treatment modalities of InMode
FX Mode (Radiofrequency Lipolysis)
FX is InMode’s most basic and widely used treatment mode, which directly targets subcutaneous fat and the dermis through microneedle radiofrequency technology. It is suitable for areas of the face (Double Chin, cheek fat) as well as specific parts of the body (accessory breast (underarm fat), waist, abdomen, thighs). This treatment is the most common entry-level option in Dermatology clinics in South Korea, featuring a low threshold for treatment and stable results.
FORMA Mode (Non-invasive Radiofrequency Skin Tightening)
FORMA is a non-invasive treatment method that does not require microneedles. It uses thermal radiofrequency to heat the dermis from the surface of the skin, stimulating the contraction and regeneration of Collagen and thereby achieving a tightening and rejuvenating effect. It is commonly used for anti-aging treatments on the face and is often combined with FX to form a “dual-mode treatment regimen”.
Inmode (BodyTite / FaceTite)
These are higher-tech sub-brands under InMode that combine external and internal radiofrequency energy to achieve more significant fat-lysis results. They are commonly used on larger areas such as the waist, abdomen, and Thighs. The cost is relatively higher, but the effects are also more noticeable.

Key factors affecting the pricing model of InMode
Treatment area
The face has a smaller area, so the treatment takes less time and is relatively less expensive. For body areas such as the waist, abdomen, or Thighs, which have larger surfaces and require longer treatment times, the costs are naturally higher. When multiple areas are treated simultaneously, discounts are usually available.
Single treatment vs package deal
The effects of InMode usually require multiple treatment sessions to achieve the best results. Purchasing packages for 3 to 5 treatments can save approximately 20
Is it suitable to be used in combination with other treatments?
InMode is often combined with anti-aging treatments such as Thermage and HIFU. While the overall cost of these package deals is higher, the discount rates offered are also more substantial.
Who is InMode suitable for?
- For those who have localized fat accumulation but do not want to undergo surgical liposuction (Double Chin, Accessory Breast (Underarm Fat), waist and abdomen)
- Those whose skin is starting to show signs of mild sagging and who want to tighten and lift it back
- Travelers who wish to have the procedure done quickly and return to their daily routines shortly after the surgery
- Those whose weight has reached the ideal range but still struggle to tone certain areas through exercise alone
It is important to note that InMode is not a weight-loss tool; it is suitable for those whose overall weight is close to their ideal range but who have stubborn fat in certain areas. If your overall weight is still on the higher side, it is recommended to first lose weight through diet and exercise before using InMode to refine and shape specific areas of your body.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are there any side effects associated with InMode?
The FX mode involves microneedle injection, and after the procedure, the injection site may experience mild redness or bruising, which usually subsides within 3 to 5 days. The FORMA mode is non-invasive, and there is virtually no recovery period after the treatment. In some individuals who are more sensitive to heat, a slight burning sensation may occur during the procedure; however, doctors at reputable clinics will immediately adjust the energy settings accordingly.
Q: How long does the effect of InMode last?
The duration of the effects varies depending on individual circumstances and lifestyle habits. The effects of facial FX treatments last approximately 6 to 12 months; for body areas, if combined with dietary control, the effects can be extended to 1 to 2 years. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain these results.
Q: How many days does it take for a Taiwanese person to undergo InMode treatment in South Korea?
Facial FX treatments usually take around 30 to 60 minutes and can be completed on the same day. Body contouring procedures, depending on the number of areas involved, generally take 1 to 2 hours to finish. After the treatment, simply pay attention to proper care of the affected areas, and you can continue with your normal travel plans without any issues – making these treatments perfect for medical beauty tourism.
In summary
The overall costs of InMode in South Korea are transparent and competitive. The price for a single facial FX treatment starts from as low as 420 RMB, while the cost of body shaping packages varies depending on the area treated and the number of sessions.
