InMode ApexRF: Price, Specs, FDA Clearance and Alternatives
ApexRF is InMode’s workstation for what it calls circulatory wellness: Apex RF heating handpieces, Tone muscle stimulation and Morpheus8 Burst fractional RF. Clinics widely promote it for men’s sexual health, but its listed uses are muscle aches, spasm and local circulation, so practices need tight control of their claims.
The short answer
ApexRF has no FDA record under its own name. FDA’s device identifier records link its Apex system to InMode’s RF Pro clearance, K210492, which lists relief of minor muscle aches, pain and spasm and temporary improvement of local circulation. Erectile dysfunction, the use clinics often advertise, is not a listed use. InMode doesn’t publish prices.
Who should consider an ApexRF?
Shortlist it if
- You run a wellness practice with a medical director who sets protocols and screens patients.
- You want Tone muscle stimulation and Morpheus8 Burst on the same console.
- Every claim you make will be reviewed against the listed uses before launch.
Compare another option if
- Your wellness patients are mainly women: see our EmpowerRF guide.
- You want aesthetic body contouring: compare EvolveX or EMSCULPT NEO.
Our take: the claims are the real risk
Treat ApexRF as a wellness platform with narrow listed uses. The only published study we found used InMode’s Forma applicator, not an Apex handpiece, in 19 men with no control group, and InMode supplied the equipment.
Before you buy, ask InMode which clearance covers each applicator and what its marketing kit claims, then decide whether a men’s health program fits your practice and your clinical team at all.

Clearance describes what a device may be marketed for; it does not predict results for a given patient.
- We found no FDA record that names ApexRF or Apex Circulatory; the link to K210492 comes from FDA’s device identifier records. Erectile dysfunction is not among the listed uses.
ApexRF clinical studies
Published studies we found on this system, its earlier models and related technology, each labeled by what it tested. Most are small, and some have manufacturer-affiliated authors, so use them to frame questions for the demo rather than as proof of results.
What we found: None on this system; 1 on related technology.
- Related technology: InMode’s Forma applicatorShort-term safety and preliminary patient-reported outcomes of bipolar radiofrequency therapy for mild-to-moderate erectile dysfunction: a prospective single-arm pilot studySix weekly sessions with InMode’s Forma RF applicator, not ApexRF itself; erectile-function scores rose from 16.4 to 23.7 at 3 months. No control group, and InMode supported the study with equipment.

How much does an ApexRF cost?
| Price evidence | What we found |
|---|---|
| New system (manufacturer quote) | InMode does not publish prices, and we found no reliable public price for a new ApexRF. |
| Used (asking prices) | Not reviewed for this profile. |
| Documented sale prices | None found. |
What ownership adds after purchase
| Cost area | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Clinical lead | Budget medical director time to write protocols and screen patients for underlying conditions. |
| Consumables | Ask which handpieces and tips are single use and what each costs per session. |
| Marketing review | Budget a review of launch ads, pages and InMode-supplied materials. |
| Service | Ask what the warranty covers and what service costs after it ends. |
ApexRF alternatives to compare
| Device | Technology | Why compare it |
|---|---|---|
| InMode EmpowerRF | RF and electrical muscle stimulation workstation | InMode’s women’s wellness workstation, also built on RF and EMS. |
| InMode EvolveX | Hands-free RF (Tite), EMS (Tone) and alternating RF plus EMS (Transform) | InMode’s hands-free body platform with the same Tone EMS technology. |
| BTL EMSCULPT NEO | Synchronized RF and HIFEM+ | BTL’s HIFEM and RF body system, if muscle work is the main goal. |
Different technologies are not interchangeable. Compare configurations, cleared uses and ownership costs before you book demos.
