Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (FORMA)
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening (FORMA)
What is Forma?
This treatment uses radio-frequency technology to provide optimal skin tightening in the deep layers of your skin. Radio-frequency energy will stimulate the formation of new collagen and improve skin elasticity.
How Does Forma work?
Forma treats loose skin by targeting the deep layers of the skin with no area being under or over treated, as it has constant skin thermal temperature monitoring with an automatic cutoff feature. This ensures maximum and consistent results.
Is Forma For Me?
Forma is great treatment for all skin types both light and dark. Loose lax skin is one of the most common cosmetic complaints of my patients. Forma improves skin’s appearance with smoother skin, reduction of wrinkles and a more radiant glow.
What areas can be treated?
Forma can be used on both the face and body. Commonly treated areas on the face include: forehead, crow’s feet, upper and lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines, and neck. On the body, popular treatment areas include the arms (sagging skin), abdomen and any area that has sagging skin.
Will it Hurt?
Forma is an essentially painless procedure with no downtime due to its precise technology with mild redness of the skin post procedure that lasts a few hours.
How many Sessions are Required and can this be used in Combination With Other Treatments?
On the average most people will need weekly sessions over a six-week period. Mild skin laxity may need fewer treatments. Yes, it can be used in combination with most other laser treatments, facials, injectables and/or fillers.

Skin Tightening – Radiofrequency
Forma is a treatment that involves the application of a cosmetic gel and a warm wand passing over the skin in sweeping circular motions. The wand gently heats the deeper levels of the skin to approximately 43°c; The controlled heating of the skin’s tissues triggers the brain to release a healing response. This, in turn, causes increased collagen production and tightening of elastin fibers. The tightening of elastin fibers is instant meaning the skin appears tighter and firmer from the first treatment.
What is the Downtime for Forma?
Forma Radio Frequency is a painless and relaxing treatment. You may experience reddening of the skin for about 15-30 mins post-treatment.
