InMode Forma explained
Forma is a radiofrequency handpiece made by InMode. In Korea, the combined treatment with Mini FX is often sold simply as InMode lifting. Forma is the part that tightens the skin, while FX targets small fat pockets.
How InMode Forma works
Forma uses bipolar RF, which passes energy between two electrodes in the handpiece. The skin is heated to a set temperature, and the device cuts off energy if it gets too hot. Keeping the dermis warm for several minutes tightens collagen and encourages new collagen. Many sessions build the result gradually.
