InMode FX Aftercare: What to Expect, How to Care, and When to Contact SKINLAB

July 21, 2025

Thank you for visiting SKINLAB for your InMode FX treatment! Whether you had BodyFX, MiniFX, or FaceTite/AccuTite to tighten skin, reduce fat, and contour your body or face, you’ve taken a powerful step toward a smoother, more sculpted look—non-invasively.

To support your skin’s recovery and help you get the best possible results, here’s what to expect after your session and how to care for your skin.

What Is InMode FX?

InMode FX technologies use a combination of radiofrequency (RF) heat, deep tissue heating, and vacuum-assisted massage to reduce fat, stimulate collagen, and tighten skin. It’s ideal for:

  • Reducing localized fat or cellulite
  • Tightening loose skin on the face, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs, or buttocks
  • Improving body contours and skin texture

What to Expect After InMode FX

InMode FX is non-invasive with minimal downtime, but it’s normal to experience:

  • Redness or warmth in the treated area (typically lasts a few hours)
  • Mild swelling or tenderness
  • A “tight” or slightly firm sensation in the skin
  • Occasional bruising, especially in areas with suction
  • A sense of increased skin firmness over time

Most side effects subside within 24–72 hours, and results continue to improve over weeks to months, especially when multiple sessions are completed.

InMode FX Aftercare Instructions

✅ DO:

  • Stay well-hydrated for the next 48 hours to support lymphatic drainage
  • Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer on the treated area
  • Wear loose, breathable clothing to avoid friction or pressure
  • Use cool compresses if any redness or swelling occurs
  • Apply SPF 30+ if the treated area will be exposed to the sun
  • Resume normal activities unless otherwise directed by your provider

❌ AVOID for 24–48 Hours:

  • Hot showers, steam rooms, or saunas
  • Intense exercise or sweating
  • Alcohol or caffeine (to support lymphatic drainage)
  • Harsh scrubs, exfoliants, or active skincare on the treated area
  • Applying heat (heating pads, hot packs) to the area

Common Side Effects

  • Mild redness or flushing
  • Slight swelling or sensitivity
  • Temporary firmness or tenderness
  • Mild bruising (due to suction)

These are normal and usually resolve within a few days.

Rare Side Effects

Although uncommon, you should be aware of:

  • Prolonged swelling or pain
  • Blistering or burns (very rare with proper settings)
  • Numbness or tingling that lasts more than a few days
  • Skin discoloration (temporary)

When to Contact SKINLAB

Please contact us if you experience:

  • Severe or increasing pain
  • Signs of infection (fever, heat, pus, or spreading redness)
  • Skin blistering, open sores, or scabbing
  • Numbness or bruising that worsens after 3–5 days
  • Any unusual or unexpected reactions

Final Notes

InMode FX treatments deliver progressive improvement in contour, tone, and texture. For best results, a series of 6–8 sessions is often recommended, depending on your treatment area and goals.

Pairing your treatments with healthy habits, hydration, and skin protection can enhance and prolong your results.
