Forma rejuvenates skin by using radiofrequency energy to enhance elasticity and collagen in the dermis. It targets deep tissues in a session where RF energy creates heat, promoting collagen production and skin firmness. Common areas treated include the forehead, neck, and around the eyes and jowls. A conductive gel is applied before using the Forma wand in circular motions, a process taking up to 30 minutes. Afterward, patients may notice temporary redness and initial improvements like tighter skin immediately. Optimal results are achieved with 6 weekly treatments.

Forma RF employs radiofrequency technology to jumpstart the growth of fresh collagen, using A.C.E. (acquire, control, extend) technology to ensure consistent, optimal outcomes and avoid any areas being under or over-treated. With the use of A.C.E. technology, our specialists are also able to acquire real-time skin temperature with the built-in temperature sensor that can read skin surface temperature 1,000 times per second. Forma RF’s “shut-off” temperature feature automatically reduces radiofrequency energy once the required skin temperature has been achieved, providing an additional layer of safety.

Before the procedure begins, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a refreshing conductive gel will be applied directly onto it. There is no need for numbing cream. The Forma handheld device will be used by your provider to massage the treatment area while the radiofrequency heat deeply penetrates the surface of the skin. The heat, together with the gel, stimulates the formation of new collagen. Although the sensation can be warm, most patients find it comfortable, comparing it to a hot stone massage. The treatment typically lasts for up to 30 minutes and can be an excellent addition to other treatments, such as DiamondGlow facials.

After undergoing Forma RF treatment, some patients may experience skin reddening similar to sunburn, which typically goes away within an hour. Mild skin sensitivity and swelling may also occur for a day or two. To ensure optimal recovery, avoid hot baths, tanning beds, saunas, and prolonged UV exposure, and use only gentle cleansers while refraining from exfoliating products for 1-2 days. Additionally, it is crucial to apply sunscreen regularly to maintain healthy skin. While the treatment may provide immediate subtle lifting effects, it takes time for collagen to build, so improvements will gradually occur over the next few months. As Forma RF is temporary, touch-up appointments will be necessary to maintain the results.

Forma RF is an effective non-invasive treatment suitable for all skin types and tones, and can be used on any area of the body. It is particularly suitable for those who are seeking non-surgical skin tightening for the face and body.

When Forma RF is performed by a licensed, experienced medical professional, it is very safe. It has been FDA-approved for any skin type or tone, and its technology includes a built-in temperature sensor and “shut-off” temperature feature. This technology was designed with patient safety in mind.
