Why did Pungja have facial bruises after losing 12 kg? “Trying to get rid of a double chin...”

Broadcaster Pungja candidly explained her facial bruising on her YouTube channel Pungja TV. While swimming in an outdoor bath during a camping trip, she noticed a bruise on her chin and explained, ‘I think it's from the procedure I had at a dermatology clinic a few days ago. I'm telling you so you won't worry—I had InMode.’

Pungja has recently shown a slimmer facial outline after losing 12 kg. Weight loss has contributed to her sharper contours and more distinct features, but areas such as the jawline and double chin have limits to what dieting alone can achieve. Rapid weight loss can even make skin droop and contours look less defined.

Maintaining a sharp facial outline despite rapid weight loss, as Pungja has, was made possible by InMode, which refines areas that dieting struggles to address. It attracts interest because it can improve double-chin, jawline and cheek-fat concerns without incisions or prolonged recovery. Bruising or redness can of course occur, as in Pungja's case; minimizing these requires accurate understanding and preparation.

InMode delivers radiofrequency energy to skin and subcutaneous fat, promoting collagen and elastin production and destroying fat cells where needed. By targeting facial fat such as a double chin or sagging cheeks that does not respond to dieting, it particularly suits those seeking refined contours. Strong summer ultraviolet rays and high temperatures readily weaken elasticity and blur contours. Enlarged pores and rough texture from sebum and sweat add to these concerns, increasing demand for both lifting and contour care and keeping InMode demand high in summer too.

Can InMode address the areas that dieting struggles with?

InMode has two main modes. InMode FX destroys fat cells with heat at 45–47 degrees to reduce unwanted facial fat; by raising surface temperature, it also promotes collagen and hyaluronic acid production to improve elasticity. InMode FORMA works on the epidermis and dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin regeneration and add volume, making contours softer and firmer. FX focuses on reducing facial fat, while FORMA is more about supporting elasticity and volume.

Combining these modes appropriately can reduce unwanted fat resistant to dieting while naturally enhancing areas needing volume, creating dimensional contours. Adding Baby Collagen injections after InMode can bring even more dramatic changes. InMode reduces jawline and cheek fat and increases firmness to refine contours, while Baby Collagen's salmon-DNA-derived PDRN supports regeneration and natural volume restoration, completing the facial outline. Together, their strengths are maximized and limitations complemented, producing more harmonious, healthy contours.

Although InMode is known for a high level of safety, bruising, temporary hollows, redness, pain and rarely burns can occur depending on skin condition and practitioner skill. Bruising like Pungja's is a natural response and recovers quickly with basic care such as moisturizing and sun protection. What matters is treatment by clinicians with a strong understanding of facial anatomy and ample experience. In particular, a customized plan must clearly separate areas needing fat reduction from those needing volume to achieve higher satisfaction.

InMode therefore aims at both facial-fat refinement beyond dieting's reach and improved firmness. It focuses on preserving natural facial dimension and restoring natural, healthy contours. Rather than expecting immediate change from one or two sessions, the best approach is to gradually restore the outline through planned care matched to the person's skin aging and facial structure.
