Forma

Skin laxity is a natural part of aging, but it can happen quickly and make us look a lot older than we are. Enter Forma, the popular skin tightening procedure that painlessly achieves firmer, tighter, more youthful skin

What is Forma?

Forma is an advanced, non-invasive skin tightening procedure that improves the skin with the use of radiofrequency energy. The RF energy lifts and tightens the features by increasing collagen production. During a Forma facial, a heated wand is rubbed over your face, emitting RF energy. This results in better definition in the jawline, improved and visibly-brighter skin, and lifted, firmer contours.

Benefits of Forma

Forma achieves many benefits for patients both young and old who would like to refresh and renew their appearance without a surgical procedure. Benefits include the following:

Short treatment time
Visibly brighter skin
Lifted, firmer skin
A more youthful appearance
Short, lunchtime treatment

What happens during the Forma treatment?

The Forma wand is heated to about 109 degrees before it is passed over your face or skin in other areas. For the body treatments, the applicator is larger, and for the face, the applicator is smaller and more delicate. The treatment feels like a hot stone massage. When the wand is passed around more sensitive areas such as the eyes, the heat setting is lowered to avoid any pain.

The treatment takes less than 30 minutes and requires no recovery period, making it a perfect procedure for busy patients who can pop in during lunchtime.

What areas can be treated with Forma?

Forma is primarily used on the face, but it is also an effective treatment for other areas of the body. Common treatment areas include the following:

Forehead
Crow’s feet
Eyelids
Under-eye area
Midface

Jowls
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Lines around the lips
Neck
Arms
Abdomen
Rough elbows
Décolletage

What to expect after a Forma treatment

After your treatment, your skin will be red from the heat. This will subside in less than an hour. You can apply a cool pack to your skin, but there is no significant aftercare or recovery time. You will see improvements over time, as Forma achieves incremental benefits over multiple treatments. We recommend a minimum of six treatments.

Depending on the condition of your skin, you may need more or less treatments. Your treatments can be scheduled about one week apart because the RF energy is extremely gentle. Your skin doesn’t need much time to recover between treatments

How long do Forma results last?

Results last for several weeks. With a series of sessions and yearly maintenance treatments, your firmer, more radiant skin and natural-looking, youthful results will last up to 4 years.

Who is a good candidate for Forma?

Patients who are younger and want to prevent aging for as long as possible or who are looking for a more defined appearance love Forma treatments.
