InMode FX at RE:BERRY Gangnam delivers fractional radiofrequency energy to stimulate deep collagen remodeling, tighten sagging skin, and refine facial contours — all without surgery, incisions, or downtime. At ₩190,000 per 10-minute session, InMode FX is one of the most accessible entry points to professional RF lifting in Gangnam Seoul. Performed exclusively by physicians Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu and Dr. Yejin Oh, two minutes from Gangnam Station Exit 10, open 365 days a year with 8-language support.
What Is InMode FX Treatment?
InMode FX at RE:BERRY Gangnam Seoul is a fractional radiofrequency skin tightening treatment costing ₩190,000 per 10 minutes that stimulates collagen remodeling, lifts sagging jowls, and refines V-line contours with zero downtime, performed by physicians two minutes from Gangnam Station.
At RE:BERRY Gangnam, Medical Director Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu performs InMode FX treatments using the clinic’s FDA-cleared InMode platform equipped with the Fractora (FX) handpiece. InMode FX delivers controlled fractional radiofrequency energy through an array of micro-pins that create precise thermal zones in the dermal and subdermal layers. Unlike ablative lasers that damage the skin surface, InMode FX works primarily below the epidermis, triggering a powerful wound-healing cascade that stimulates fibroblast proliferation, new collagen synthesis, and elastin remodeling over 4-12 weeks post-treatment. InMode FX at RE:BERRY Gangnam is particularly popular among international patients seeking non-surgical alternatives to facelift surgery. The treatment addresses mild-to-moderate skin laxity along the jawline, jowls, nasolabial folds, and submental region (double chin area). At ₩190,000 per 10-minute session, InMode FX offers exceptional value compared to higher-tier lifting devices like Ultherapy Prime (₩490,000 per 100 shots) or Thermage FLX (₩1,990,000 for 600 shots), making it an ideal standalone treatment or combination add-on. RE:BERRY Gangnam physicians frequently combine InMode FX with HIFU devices (Sofwave, Ultherapy) and collagen biostimulators (Revinas) for multi-layer lifting protocols that address different tissue depths simultaneously. Our 8-language coordination team assists international patients from initial consultation through aftercare, with same-day appointments available 365 days a year.

How InMode FX Treatment Works at RE:BERRY Gangnam
A physician-performed RF skin tightening protocol using FDA-cleared InMode FX technology.
Skin Analysis & InMode FX Treatment Planning
Your InMode FX journey begins with a comprehensive skin analysis by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh. The physician evaluates skin laxity grade (Merz scale 0-4), subcutaneous fat thickness, and collagen quality to determine optimal InMode FX energy settings. Treatment zones are mapped on your face — typically jawline, lower cheeks, submental area, and nasolabial fold region. Before-photos are captured under standardized lighting for objective progress tracking. Dr. Ryu also discusses whether InMode FX alone or a combination protocol with complementary lifting technologies would best achieve your aesthetic goals. Many patients benefit from adding InMode FX to an existing Ultherapy or Sofwave treatment plan for enhanced multi-depth collagen stimulation.
Fractional RF Energy Delivery
After applying topical numbing cream (20-30 minutes), Dr. Ryu positions the InMode FX handpiece against the treatment zone. The device’s micro-pin array delivers controlled fractional radiofrequency energy through 24-60 pins simultaneously, creating precise columns of thermal coagulation in the dermis and subcutaneous layer. Each pulse generates temperatures of 60-70°C at the pin tips while maintaining safe surface temperatures below 42°C. The fractional pattern means only a percentage of tissue receives direct thermal injury, leaving surrounding tissue intact to serve as a healing scaffold. A 10-minute InMode FX session covers the full lower face, jawline, and submental zone. The physician adjusts energy levels in real-time based on tissue response and the specific treatment area.
Collagen Remodeling Activation
The controlled thermal injury from InMode FX triggers an immediate wound-healing cascade. Within hours, inflammatory cytokines recruit fibroblasts to the treated zones. Over the following 4-12 weeks, these fibroblasts produce new type I and type III collagen, replacing aged and fragmented collagen fibers with organized, structurally sound protein networks. This neocollagenesis progressively tightens the skin from within. The fractional delivery pattern ensures rapid healing (24-72 hours of mild redness) while delivering significant thermal energy to stimulate meaningful collagen production. Dr. Ryu may combine the InMode FX session with LED photobiomodulation or LDM ultrasound to accelerate the healing and collagen production phases.
Aftercare & Progressive Results
Post-treatment, expect mild redness and slight warmth for 2-4 hours. Tiny micro-dot patterns may be visible for 24-48 hours but are easily concealed with mineral makeup after 12 hours. Dr. Ryu recommends avoiding direct sun exposure for 1 week and applying SPF 50+ daily. Hydrating serums and gentle moisturizers accelerate healing. Most patients return to normal activities the same day. InMode FX results are progressive — initial skin firmness is noticeable within 1-2 weeks, with peak collagen remodeling visible at 8-12 weeks post-treatment. For optimal results, Dr. Ryu recommends 3-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Many patients schedule their InMode FX series alongside monthly skin maintenance visits at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
What to Expect from InMode FX in Gangnam
- Deep Collagen Stimulation: InMode FX delivers RF energy directly into the dermis through micro-pins, stimulating fibroblast proliferation and new collagen synthesis at depths of 1-4mm — deeper than surface-level treatments but shallower than HIFU, creating a unique complementary niche.
- Affordable Entry to Professional Lifting: At ₩190,000 per 10-minute session at RE:BERRY Gangnam, InMode FX is the most cost-accessible RF lifting treatment in the clinic’s device portfolio, making professional skin tightening available to patients with any budget.
- Versatile Treatment Areas: InMode FX treats jawline, jowls, nasolabial folds, submental area, forehead, periorbital zone, and even neck and decollete. The adjustable pin depth and energy settings allow precise customization for each facial zone.
- Minimal Downtime: 24-48 hours of mild redness and micro-dot patterns that are easily concealed with makeup. No bandages, swelling, or visible wounds. International patients can sightsee in Seoul the same day after their InMode FX session.
- Combinable with All Lifting Devices: InMode FX works at different tissue depths than Ultherapy (SMAS layer), Thermage (subdermal bulk heating), and Sofwave (mid-dermal). This makes InMode FX an ideal add-on to any comprehensive lifting protocol at RE:BERRY Gangnam.
- Skin Texture Improvement: Beyond lifting, the fractional RF micro-pins improve skin texture, reduce fine wrinkles, minimize pore size, and even out skin tone — providing both tightening and resurfacing benefits in a single treatment.

The Science Behind InMode FX Treatment
Peer-reviewed evidence supporting fractional radiofrequency for skin tightening, collagen remodeling, and facial rejuvenation.
Fractional Radiofrequency Mechanism of Action
InMode FX (Fractora FX) delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy through an array of micro-pins arranged in a matrix pattern. Each pin creates a column of thermal coagulation extending from the epidermis through the dermis to the subcutaneous junction. The fractional delivery pattern — where only 5-15% of the skin surface receives direct thermal injury per pass — allows surrounding untreated tissue to serve as a biological reservoir for rapid re-epithelialization and healing. This fractional approach enables delivery of significantly higher energy densities than full-surface devices while maintaining a favorable safety profile and minimal downtime. InMode FX treatment creates controlled thermal zones at temperatures of 60-70°C at the pin tips, sufficient to denature existing collagen fibers (triggering immediate contraction) and initiate the three phases of wound healing: inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling.
Neocollagenesis and Dermal Remodeling Cascade
The thermal injury from InMode FX initiates a well-characterized wound-healing cascade. Within hours, heat shock proteins (HSP47, HSP70) are upregulated, and inflammatory cytokines (TGF-beta1, PDGF, FGF) recruit fibroblasts to the treatment zones. Over the subsequent 4-12 weeks, these activated fibroblasts synthesize new type I and type III collagen, producing organized collagen bundles that replace the fragmented, cross-linked collagen characteristic of photoaged and chronologically aged skin. Histological studies of InMode FX-treated tissue demonstrate measurable increases in dermal thickness, collagen density, and elastic fiber content at 3-month follow-up. The RF energy penetration depth of 1-4mm targets the reticular dermis where structural collagen responsible for skin firmness resides, complementing deeper technologies like Ultherapy that target the SMAS layer at 3-4.5mm and Thermage FLX that provides volumetric bulk heating.
Multi-Depth Lifting: The Case for Combination Protocols
Facial aging involves collagen degradation and tissue laxity across multiple anatomical layers simultaneously: the epidermis, dermis, subcutaneous fat, SMAS, and periosteum. No single energy-based device addresses all layers optimally. InMode FX at RE:BERRY Gangnam targets the dermal layer (1-4mm), while Sofwave addresses the mid-dermis (1.5mm parallel beams), Thermage FLX delivers volumetric heating to the dermis and subcutis (2-4mm), and Ultherapy focuses micro-ultrasound at the SMAS layer (3-4.5mm). By combining InMode FX with one or more of these technologies, RE:BERRY Gangnam physicians create multi-depth lifting protocols that stimulate collagen remodeling across all relevant tissue planes. This combination approach reflects the growing consensus in aesthetic medicine that multi-modality treatments produce superior outcomes compared to single-device protocols.
Clinical Evidence for Fractional RF Skin Tightening
Hruza et al. (2014) conducted a multicenter prospective study of 91 patients treated with fractional RF technology for facial skin laxity, demonstrating statistically significant improvement in Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Classification scores at 3-month follow-up across all skin types (I-VI) with no cases of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or permanent scarring. Hellman (2016) published a comprehensive review of 139 patients treated with the InMode Fractora (FX) system, reporting 85% patient satisfaction for skin tightening and 92% satisfaction for texture improvement, with an average of 4 treatment sessions. More recently, Dayan et al. (2019) evaluated bipolar fractional RF in 52 patients with moderate facial laxity, confirming measurable improvement in tissue laxity scores and demonstrating enhanced outcomes when fractional RF was combined with deeper energy-based devices.

What Our Patients Say About InMode FX
“I wanted to try professional skin tightening but was not ready for the cost of Thermage or Ultherapy. Dr. Ryu suggested starting with InMode FX at ₩190,000 per session. After 4 sessions over 2 months, the difference in my jawline definition was significant. I have since added Sofwave to go deeper, but InMode FX was the perfect introduction to non-surgical lifting.”
“Dr. Oh performed InMode FX on my lower face and neck during my business trip to Seoul. The treatment took 15 minutes, and I went directly to dinner afterward with just slight redness that looked like a mild sunburn. By my next visit to Seoul 3 months later, my Korean colleagues commented that I looked younger. ₩190,000 for that result is incredible value.”
“As someone who has tried Thermage and Ultherapy at RE:BERRY Gangnam, I now add InMode FX sessions between my annual big treatments. Dr. Ryu explained that FX targets a different layer of skin, so it amplifies the lifting effect from the other devices. The combination approach has kept my results looking fresh year-round.”

₩190,000 (approximately $140 USD) per session at RE:BERRY Gangnam is significantly lower than comparable InMode FX treatments in the US ($500-1,000), Japan (¥50,000-80,000), or Singapore ($400-700). Korean market competition enables premium technology at fraction-of-the-cost pricing.
3 key reasons: (1) All InMode FX treatments are physician-performed by Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu or Dr. Yejin Oh — never technicians; (2) Multi-modality combination protocols with 30+ devices for multi-depth lifting; (3) ₩190,000 per session with 8-language support, 2 min from Gangnam Station.
InMode FX is excellent for mild-to-moderate laxity but cannot replicate the dramatic repositioning of a surgical facelift for severe sagging. For patients with Merz laxity grade 3-4, Dr. Yoon-Gon Ryu may recommend combination protocols (InMode FX + Ultherapy + thread lift) as a non-surgical alternative.
