I debated a lot between getting AirJet, Liftera, Volnewmer, TuneFace, and so on, but since it was my first laser treatment, I decided to get the relatively affordable and more common InMode FX partial treatment (deep cheeks) and FORMA.
I also searched a lot about InMode side effects, like a peanut-shaped face + cheek hollowing, etc... My face shape itself is round and my cheekbones protrude, so if it goes wrong, my face can easily become peanut-shaped, and because of my cheekbones, I'm also prone to cheek hollowing.
I had already lost a lot of weight (170 cm, 50-51 kg), so I asked the doctor to be as careful as possible about a peanut-shaped face and cheek hollowing.
I couldn't find the clinic through search... It's Ilsan VS Line Clinic.
First, the doctor designs the treatment area before the procedure. And during the procedure, I talked a lot with the doctor. (About how I should manage my acne because my acne is severe...) They said InMode FORMA is good too, but recommended 300 shots of Oligio. Once every 4-5 months...
So I'm planning to get Oligio 300 at the same place at the end of this year.
And InMode FX doesn't hurt at first, but it gets more painful toward the end. There was definitely an effect. Bruising remained on the area under my chin where it connects to the neck, where my skin is weak. But it wasn't severe, so I just went around without wearing a mask.
InMode FORMA feels hot and warm, how should I put it, an irritating heat? That kind of feeling... It hurts less than InMode. But they only did the area under my eyes, so I asked about it, and they said the forehead has curves, and the device needs to be in 100% contact to be effective, but 100% contact is difficult there, so they don't do it.
Oligio includes the forehead too.
Oh, and they said InMode is effective if you get it 3 times a month, but for someone like me who doesn't have much facial fat, it's fine to get it when the effect wears off. Maybe once every 6 months?
I liked it even more because they explained it with the phrase, "Too much is as bad as too little."
Also, I have severe acne because I take hormone medication, and they gave me about 10 inflammatory acne injections as a service. They also prescribed a topical acne medication. (Expensive, 43,000 won, and the bottle is very small)
It was a satisfying first lifting treatment.
