Company

Company overview

InMode Ltd. supplies physicians with equipment for procedures such as fat reduction, face and body contouring, and skin tightening. Its products use radio-frequency energy to heat tissue, with both minimally invasive and non-invasive treatments. BodyTite and IgniteRF are among its platforms. Equipment sales generate most revenue, and minimally invasive products account for the largest share of the business.

Physicians buy through InMode’s direct sales teams or independent distributors. They can add treatment applicators to existing platforms, and applicable procedures require disposable handpieces or tips that must be replaced after each treatment. These consumables and extended warranties provide a smaller revenue stream after the initial equipment sale. Demand depends on physicians’ willingness and ability to finance equipment purchases, which in turn depends on patients choosing mostly elective treatments that insurance generally does not cover.

InMode outsources almost all manufacturing to subcontractors in Israel and relies heavily on Flextronics (Israel) Ltd. and BY Medimor Ltd. Its ability to supply equipment therefore depends on these manufacturers. Device authorizations also constrain what it can sell and promote: products marketed in the United States that require FDA authorization have 510(k) clearance for their marketed uses, while new uses or significant changes may require further authorization.

InMode's results hinge on demand for elective aesthetic procedures and physicians' access to equipment financing, with competition also coming from device makers absent here: Sofwave, Sisram Medical, Cynosure and BTL Aesthetics.

  • Apyx Medical Corporation competes for the cosmetic surgeons who buy InMode's minimally invasive body-contouring and tissue-tightening equipment, selling them Renuvion energy-based surgical systems. Watch its Renuvion business for competition within this shared surgeon customer base.

  • Evolus, Inc. competes for patients who can choose injections instead of InMode's wrinkle-reduction and skin-tightening procedures, selling aesthetic practitioners neurotoxins and hyaluronic-acid fillers for self-paying patients. Its Jeuveau and Evolysse sales offer a view of spending on these injectable alternatives.

  • SBC Medical Group Holdings Incorporated shares InMode's exposure to patient demand for cosmetic procedures, but earns fees from supporting Japanese aesthetic clinics rather than selling equipment and treatment consumables. Its clinic-management service revenue offers a separate view of the same elective spending demand.

  • AbbVie competes with some InMode equipment-based aesthetic treatments by selling Botox as an alternative. Watch Botox rather than AbbVie's overall results, which also reflect its much broader medicines business.
