How does it work?

InMode Contoura delivers controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to the dermal layer and subcutaneous fat layer, generating heat within a safe and regulated temperature range. This thermal effect stimulates the production of collagen and elastin while encouraging tissue contraction, resulting in firmer, more elastic skin and improved overall contour definition.

The system primarily utilizes two core handpieces. The first category focuses on fat reduction and contour sculpting, such as BodyFX and MiniFX. These handpieces combine RF energy with vacuum-assisted technology to gently draw the tissue in while delivering concentrated heat to the fat layer. This process promotes gradual fat cell breakdown, which is then eliminated through the body’s natural metabolic pathways, while also improving the appearance of cellulite and localized contour irregularities. The second handpiece, Forma, is designed primarily for skin tightening and lifting. It targets the dermal layer with uniform, sustained RF heating to stimulate collagen remodeling and neocollagenesis, with a stronger emphasis on skin firmness, texture refinement, and contour enhancement. These handpieces can be flexibly combined based on treatment area and individual needs to achieve both skin tightening and contouring effects.

Who is it suitable for?

InMode Contoura is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, such as an ill-defined jawline, submental fullness, or facial and body areas that lack firmness, as well as those with small amounts of localized fat who do not require significant fat reduction. It is also ideal for patients who wish to avoid surgery, prefer minimal downtime, and are seeking natural contour improvement and ongoing anti-aging maintenance. For patients with severe skin laxity or those requiring substantial fat removal, results may be limited and alternative or combination treatments should be considered.

How often is the treatment performed? How many sessions are needed?

Each treatment session typically lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Treatments are generally recommended once every 1 to 2 weeks, with a full course consisting of approximately 6 to 8 sessions. Some patients notice improvements in skin firmness early in the treatment course, while optimal contouring results usually become more apparent after completing the full series of treatments.

Is it painful? Is there any downtime?

Discomfort is minimal for most patients. The sensation is commonly described as warmth combined with mild suction or pulling, similar to a hot stone massage, and anesthesia is usually not required. Temporary redness or warmth may occur after treatment. The face and neck are more sensitive areas and may develop mild bruising or “sha” marks, whereas other body areas typically have no downtime at all.
