InMode IgniteRF: Price, Specs, FDA Clearance and Alternatives
IgniteRF is InMode’s workstation for minimally invasive RF procedures: FaceTite, BodyTite and AccuTite cannulas that heat tissue under the skin, QuantumRF, and Morpheus8 Burst and Burst Deep for fractional RF. It is a procedure platform, so it fits practices with physicians trained to work under the skin.
The short answer
IgniteRF is FDA cleared for procedures that need coagulation or contraction of soft tissue, or hemostasis; the current record is from January 2026. It runs FaceTite, BodyTite and AccuTite cannulas under the skin, QuantumRF and Morpheus8 Burst on one console. InMode doesn’t publish prices, and the single-use handpieces add a cost to every case.
Who should buy an IgniteRF?
Shortlist it if
- A physician on your team performs, or will train for, procedures under local anesthesia.
- Patients ask for jowl, neck or body contouring results that non-invasive devices don’t deliver.
- You can price each case to cover single-use handpieces, tumescent supplies and garments.
Compare another option if
- You want fractional RF without surgical procedures: compare the Morpheus8 MAX.
- You want needle-free laxity treatment: compare Thermage FLX.
- You want non-invasive fat reduction: compare CoolSculpting Elite.
Our take: who will operate it?
IgniteRF is a surgical platform, so the decision starts with your physician. FaceTite and BodyTite heat tissue under the skin, often alongside liposuction, and the published series come from surgeons, including InMode consultants. Without a physician who performs these cases regularly, most of the console sits idle.
If you have that physician, price the handpieces you will use per case, then add room setup, anesthesia supplies and garments. Compare the margin per case with a non-surgical option such as Morpheus8 on the same patients.

IgniteRF specifications at a glance
Before you compare
| Specification | IgniteRF | What it means for your practice |
|---|---|---|
| Handpieces | FaceTite, BodyTite and AccuTite (RFAL), Turbo versions with more rigid cannulas, QuantumRF 25, 17 and 10, and Morpheus8 Burst and Burst Deep (InMode) | Each handpiece targets different areas; price only the ones your surgeons will use. |
| Treatment depth | 0.5 mm (fractional) to 60 mm (under the skin) across the handpieces (InMode) | |
| RFAL design | Monopolar RF between an internal cannula electrode and an external return electrode, with internal and external temperature monitoring (FDA record) | Temperature cutoffs are part of the safety design; train every operator on them. |
| QuantumRF | Bipolar internal electrodes with no external electrode; heating set by the energy delivered (FDA record) | |
| Morpheus8 limit | Above 62 mJ per pin, Morpheus8 use is limited to skin types I to IV (FDA record). | Set protocols for darker skin types. |
| Disposables | Single-use RFAL and Quantum handpieces (FDA record) and Morpheus8 tips | Per-procedure costs add up; build them into your pricing. |

IgniteRF 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; 2 on earlier models.
- Earlier model: FaceTite and Fractora on an earlier InMode consoleMultimodal Radiofrequency Application for Lower Face and Neck LaxityFaceTite plus fractional RF (now Morpheus8) under local anesthesia; laxity scores improved by 1.4 points and 93% would repeat it. Swelling beyond 6 weeks in 4.8% and firm areas beyond 12 weeks in 3.2%.
- Earlier model: Second-generation BodyTiteSecond Generation Radiofrequency Body Contouring Device: Safety and Efficacy in 300 Local Anesthesia Liposuction CasesSecond-generation BodyTite with liposuction under local anesthesia; no major complications against 6.25% with the first generation. Two authors are InMode consultants and stockholders.

How much does an IgniteRF 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 IgniteRF. |
| Used (asking prices) | We found no used IgniteRF listings. One US dealer listed a BodyTite system with Morpheus8, an earlier InMode platform for these handpieces, at $52,500 (asking price, observed November 7, 2026; year and handpieces not shown). Confirm InMode transfer and handpiece supply terms before you compare it with a new quote. |
| Documented sale prices | None found. |

What ownership adds after purchase
| Cost area | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Handpieces | Every procedure uses single-use handpieces. Get the price of each type and any minimum order. |
| Procedure setting | Plan a sterile procedure room, tumescent supplies and post-procedure garments for body work. |
| Training | Ask how many days of hands-on surgical training are included and who proctors the first cases. |
| Service | Ask what the warranty covers and what service costs after it ends. |
