A Guide To Minimally Invasive Treatments

Minimally invasive aesthetic treatments have revolutionised cosmetic procedures, offering effective solutions for a broader scope of patients, all without the intensive time and financial costs that conventional surgery requires. The advancement in treatments like light-based and laser therapy, to combined treatments, like radiofrequency paired with microneedling or cannulas, also facilitate a broader treatment capability without requiring successive procedures.

Many of the most common concerns that can now be more easily addressed by non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments include the most common signs of ageing. From superficial, surface level wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, to deeper skin concerns like stretch marks, cellulite and collagen remodelling with Radiofrequency Assisted Lipolysis (RFAL). 

If you’re unsure which minimally invasive treatments might be suitable for you, or want to learn how these advanced technologies work, we’ll cover the key elements here. From customised treatments and minimal downtime to natural-looking results, learn more with InMode. 

Main Benefits of Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Treatments

Two key benefits that immediately make minimally invasive treatments a stand out choice for many is that they’re less intensive in terms of the time they require for both the session duration itself and recovery afterwards. With busy lifestyles, people of all ages are looking for options that give them incredible results, without needing to take extended breaks from work or having to go through uncomfortable aftereffects. 

Minimally invasive and non-invasive treatments can be incorporated into your lifestyle to address everything from wrinkles and skin laxity, to reducing the volume of stubborn fat, whether that’s across the face or body. It’s never been more simple to achieve youthful looking skin and a more sculpted physique without the need for excessive surgery. These treatments are cost-effective and require minimal downtime, making them accessible and convenient. 

Recovery Times

Due to the nature of minimally invasive treatments, recovery time is faster, but also comes with less intensive aftercare than conventional surgical means. Depending on whether you opt for something more topical, like microneedling, or go for a minimally invasive procedure with more intensive skin tightening and fat ablation, your recovery will vary. However, general aftereffects typically only include minor discomfort, minimal redness or swelling, and occasional tenderness in the treatment area. 

This convenience makes them ideal for busy individuals seeking effective cosmetic improvements without the extended healing periods associated with surgery. The quick recovery time ensures that patients can enjoy their rejuvenated appearance with minimal disruption to their lifestyle. 

Safety

Safety is a paramount advantage of minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. By utilising non-excisional methods to treat skin laxity and stubborn fat deposits, aftercare is more straightforward, as a result, these procedures often minimise the risks commonly associated with traditional surgery, such as the risk of infections, significant scarring, and prolonged recovery periods. 

InMode’s advanced technologies allow for precise targeting of problem areas, reducing the likelihood of complications. Additionally, the non-surgical nature of these treatments means they often require only local anesthesia or none at all, further enhancing their safety profile and making them accessible to a wide range of people. 

IgniteRF - The Pinnacle of Minimally Invasive Treatments

IgniteRF was released in 2024 and marks InMode’s most advanced non-surgical, minimally invasive workstation. It consists of a broad spectrum of applicators, spanning tools for the full face and body, along with the ability to achieve full scope of aesthetic goals. 

Many of our most favoured technologies have been upgraded to deliver optimised power and versatility, including the likes of our award-winning Morpheus8, along with new additions like the aspiration-free face and body contouring capabilities of QuantumRF. With both minimally-invasive and non-invasive options, it provides a versatile platform for clinicians, giving patients the ability to attain a more youthful looking appearance without intensive procedures. 

This innovative workstation leverages multiple technologies, synergistically enhancing speed and efficacy. People of all skin types, tones, ages and genders can seek the treatments offered by IgniteRF. The devices can be used individually or in combination for comprehensive treatment. 

FaceTite Turbo

FaceTite Turbo is an upgraded version of our original model and one of the exclusive handpieces that make up IgniteRF. It’s a minimally-invasive device for doctors, featuring a cannula for dual-action treatment. It employs radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis to simultaneously melt fat and tighten skin with heat. Designed for precision in delicate areas, it can be used on the face and jawline with local anaesthetic. Enhanced InMode technology optimises treatment times, delivering exceptional results with shorter sessions and recovery periods. 

BodyTite Turbo

BodyTiteTurbo offers 50% more power than its predecessor, featuring improved materials and a 40% longer cannula for greater stability and depth. It reduces fat and stimulates collagen production in larger areas such as the abdomen, thighs, back, and arms. This treatment requires no incisions and uses only local anaesthetic, ensuring minimal recovery time.

Quantum RF

QuantumRF has two in-office treatments for patients, both of which were designed for non-surgical contouring. The QuantumRF 25 hand-held device features a Teflon-coated 25cm cannula, reaching greater tissue depths for comprehensive body contouring. It uses fractionated radiofrequency (FRF) to break down fat, which the body then clears away. It includes safety mechanisms to deliver consistent results. With only local anaesthetic required, it offers minimal downtime.

For smaller or delicate areas, QuantumRF 10 provides the same benefits as QuantumRF 25 but with a shorter, narrower cannula. Ideal for targeted treatments on the face and neck, it delivers enhanced power and FRF heating. Both QuantumRF 10 and QuantumRF 25 require no incisions under the surface of the skin, resulting in less discomfort and quicker recovery post-treatment.  

Morpheus8 Burst and Burst Deep

Morpheus8 has always been one of InMode’s most popular devices, and it now offers even greater power. The new Burst technology includes the Burst Deep-Body attachment, featuring 40 micro pins capable of penetrating up to 8mm into the tissues of the body including the heat profile. For the face, the new Burst technology can penetrate up to 5mm. The microscopic punctures created in the skin stimulate the body’s healing processes, promoting the production of fresh collagen and elastin. This results in smoother, tighter, and more even skin.

The new Burst and Scale modes target lipid-rich adipose tissue, effectively breaking down excess fat by heating the fat cells to therapeutic temperatures with the RF technology. Both modes deliver RF energy to different tissue layers, providing a more comprehensive and targeted treatment. 

Common Concerns Treated with Minimally Invasive Aesthetic Treatments

Minimally invasive aesthetic treatments effectively address a variety of common cosmetic concerns without the need for surgery. These treatments can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enhance skin texture and tone, and tighten loose or sagging skin. They are also used for body contouring, targeting stubborn fat pockets and cellulite. 

Additionally, treatments like RF microneedling can improve acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. With minimal downtime and lower risk compared to traditional surgery, these procedures provide noticeable improvements, helping individuals achieve a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.

Choosing the Right Treatment for You

Whether you’re looking to improve your skin’s texture at the early signs of ageing, have stretch marks or skin laxity from weight loss, or want to achieve a full face and body transformation, InMode makes it possible.
