EmbraceRFMost people who are considering EmbraceRF have many questions about the procedure. Here are eleven commonly asked questions about this scarless facial contouring treatment:

  • What exactly is EmbraceRF?EmbraceRFis an innovative facial aesthetics technology by InMode. Invented by plastic surgeons in NYC with extensive experience in performing radiofrequency-assisted cosmetic procedures, this minimally invasive procedure provides a long-lasting solution to the effects of facial aging. This innovative scarless facial contouring procedure addresses the lower third of the face, specifically the neck and jowls.
  • What is adipose-remodeling?EmbraceRF introduces the novel concept of subdermal adipose remodeling of the face and morphs the aging facial features into a more youthful appearance. It rejuvenates the face and neck area by combining two proprietary InMode technologies: radiofrequency-assisted FaceTite and Morpheus8, a Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD)which generates heat to contour the fat and skin of the face effectively, consistently and safely.The core of the EmbraceRF procedure is that it uses heat to remodel and mold the fat in addition to the skin tightening for optimal results. Applied externally, the FDA-cleared SARD is the first and only device to mold the fat subdermally in order to effectively address aging concerns in the lower face.
  • How is EmbraceRF different from other facial contouring procedures?Unlike other existing treatments, physicians can strategically determine how much fat is removed, left behind or molded. The procedure allows the plastic surgeon to “mold” the fat of the face in strategic positions and address laxity with the FDA-cleared Subdermal Adipose Remodeling Device (SARD) and Morpheus8. This new concept of facial rejuvenation is unique to EmbraceRF which allows for precise sculpting of the face and body by allowing the physician to balance the amount of fat removed, molded, and retained.
  • What areas can be treated?EmbraceRF treats the lower face/neck area. It addresses skin laxity and can be used with or without the need for liposuction.
  • What does the procedure involve?By blending FaceTite and Morpheus8, EmbraceRF provides superior contouring of face and neck. A non-invasive RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted Lipolysis) facial contouring solution, FaceTite provides superior internal and external liposuction and allows three-dimensional remodeling of the fibrous tissues. With its depth of 4 mm and additional 1 mm heat signature, Morpheus8 allows the surgeon to also remodel the adipose (fat) tissue.This minimally invasive procedure delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to “mold” the fat of the face in strategic positions and address aging facial features and face laxity with natural looking results. Based on the depth of the dermis in different parts of the face, the surgeon can preserve fat and tighten skin or remold the fat into the contours so as to improve definition of the jaw line, jowls and neck, at the same time retaining the fullness necessary to rejuvenate your appearance.
  • Who is an ideal candidate for the procedure?The treatment is for those who have aging signs or skin laxity in the lower face and neck, with or without underlying fat concerns. Ideal candidates for EmbraceRF fall under three categories: Treatment Gap Patients, Sideline Patients, and Facelift Maintenance Patients:
