Treatment Overview
InMode Forma is a non-invasive skin tightening procedure that uses radio-frequency (RF) technology with continuous temperature monitoring to safely deliver heat into the dermis. This stimulates collagen remodeling, improves elasticity, and smooths fine lines. Forma is often described as a “lunch-time facelift” because it is comfortable, requires no downtime, and provides gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation.
Juvelook is a hybrid injectable composed of polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres and hyaluronic acid (HA). It hydrates the skin immediately and stimulates collagen production over time, improving skin density, elasticity, and radiance.
In Korean dermatology, InMode Forma and Juvelook are often combined: Forma remodels collagen and tightens the dermis externally, while Juvelook hydrates and strengthens the skin from within. Together, they deliver comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: RF energy firms and smooths skin laxity.
- Collagen Remodeling: Both treatments stimulate fibroblasts for long-term elasticity.
- Wrinkle Softening: Reduces fine lines and early folds.
- Hydration & Glow: Juvelook’s HA restores skin moisture and radiance.
- Non-Surgical: Safe and comfortable alternative to invasive lifting.
- Dual Action: Forma targets dermal tightening; Juvelook improves skin quality from within.
Ideal Candidates
- Men and women in their 30s–50s with mild to moderate sagging.
- Individuals with early wrinkles, skin dullness, or reduced elasticity.
- Patients preferring a non-surgical approach with natural outcomes.
- Those looking for combination protocols that enhance both firmness and hydration.
- Patients who want gradual but noticeable improvements without downtime.
Possible Risks & Complications
- InMode Forma: Temporary redness or mild warmth; rare risk of irritation if skin is very sensitive.
- Juvelook: Minor swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites; rare risk of nodules.
- Combination: Generally safe, though mild sensitivity or tenderness may occur for a few days.
Techniques Used
- InMode Forma: Uses bipolar RF with temperature sensors to heat the dermis evenly to ~41–43°C, stimulating collagen contraction and remodeling.
- Juvelook: Micro-injections or cannulas deliver HA + PLA into dermal layers for hydration and long-term collagen stimulation.
- Combination Protocol: Forma externally remodels collagen and tightens skin; Juvelook internally restores elasticity and hydration.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Immediately: Mild redness or warmth from RF; slight swelling from Juvelook injections.
- 1–7 Days: Tenderness or injection marks fade.
- 1–3 Months: Collagen stimulation and hydration effects enhance firmness and elasticity.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for a few days.
- Apply SPF 50+ daily to protect skin.
- Keep skin well-hydrated and avoid harsh skincare products temporarily.
Results & Longevity
- Immediately: Skin feels firmer and more hydrated.
- After 2–3 Months: Noticeable tightening, smoother texture, and improved elasticity.
- Longevity: InMode Forma results last 6–12 months with maintenance sessions; Juvelook lasts 12–18 months. Combination ensures both short-term glow and long-term anti-aging.
