Quick answer: InMode lifting cost in Korea depends on which handpieces are used, how many sessions you need and the areas treated. In Korea, InMode lifting usually combines Mini FX, which targets fat under the chin and along the jaw, with Forma, which uses radiofrequency heat to tighten the skin. Prices are usually per session or per course, so compare how many sessions are included.

What is InMode lifting?
InMode lifting is a popular name in Korea for treatments using the InMode platform. The most common combination is Mini FX and Forma. Mini FX uses radiofrequency with pulsed electric fields to target small areas of fat, such as under the chin and along the jawline. Forma uses bipolar radiofrequency with temperature control to heat the skin and stimulate collagen. Together, they aim to slim and tighten the lower face.
How is Mini FX different from Forma?
Mini FX focuses on contouring by reducing small fat pockets, so it is used where fullness makes the jawline look soft. Forma focuses on skin tightening and texture, heating the skin gently and evenly. Many people have both in the same session because sagging and fullness often happen together.
What affects the cost of InMode lifting?
- Handpieces: Mini FX, Forma or both.
- Areas: double chin, jawline, full face or neck.
- Sessions: single session or a course of several.
- Doctor: a specialist planning energy and areas.
- Combination: whether it is added to another treatment.
How many sessions do you need?
Mini FX often needs a few sessions spaced a few weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat. Forma is often done as a course of several sessions for gradual tightening. Your doctor will suggest a plan based on your skin, fat distribution and goals. Ask whether a course price is available.
Who is InMode lifting best for?
InMode lifting often suits people with a fuller lower face, mild double chin, softer jawline or mild skin laxity who prefer a comfortable, low-downtime treatment. It is popular with younger visitors who want a slimmer V-line, and as maintenance between stronger lifting treatments.
How does it compare with Ultherapy or Thermage?
Ultherapy lifts the deep SMAS layer, and Thermage tightens the skin with monopolar RF in one strong session. InMode treatments are usually gentler and often done as a course. They are especially useful when fat contributes to the shape of the lower face.
How should you compare quotes?
Ask each clinic which handpieces are included, the areas, the number of sessions and who performs the treatment. A low price for Forma only is not the same as a Mini FX and Forma combination. Compare the total for the full course.
Can InMode be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It is often combined with jaw Botox for slimming, Ultherapy for deep lifting or skin boosters for quality. Your doctor will plan the timing between sessions.
What is the downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You may have redness and mild swelling for a few hours to a day. After Mini FX, the treated area may feel tender for a few days. Most people return to normal plans the same day.
What aftercare helps?
Stay hydrated, use gentle skin care and protect your skin from the sun. A stable weight helps keep contouring results. Avoid very hot environments for a day or two.
How popular is contouring in Korea?
Korea treated about 2.01 million foreign patients in 2025, and around 63% came for dermatology, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare. V-line and jawline contouring treatments are especially popular among visitors.
