What is Forma Skin Treatment?
Forma is a non-invasive skin treatment used for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. It utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting tissue remodeling.
What is Forma used for?
Forma is often used to treat areas of the face and neck prone to skin laxity (looseness), such as the forehead, cheeks, jowls, and neck.
What can I expect during a Forma treatment session?
During a Forma treatment session, a handheld device is gently passed over the skin, delivering controlled RF energy deep into the dermis. The heat generated by the RF energy stimulates collagen production contracts existing collagen fibers, leading to immediate skin tightening effects. Over time, as collagen production increases, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Collagen is the primary building block in the skin. It is what keeps the skin from sagging, and it provides structure, strength, and support throughout the body.
Does Forma skin treatment hurt?
Forma treatment is generally well-tolerated and comfortable for most patients. It is a relatively painless procedure, with no downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation.
How can I prepare for Forma skin treatment?
Before Forma skin treatment, make the following considerations:
Consultation
Schedule a consultation with us to discuss your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have about the treatment.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen regularly in the weeks leading up to your treatment. Sun damage can increase the risk of complications and affect the results of the treatment.
Skincare Routine
Follow your skincare routine as usual, but avoid using harsh exfoliants or active ingredients (such as retinoids) in the days leading up to your treatment, as they may increase skin sensitivity.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Well-hydrated skin tends to respond better to cosmetic treatments.
Avoid Blood Thinners
If you take blood-thinning medications or supplements, consult with your healthcare provider about whether you should temporarily discontinue them before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.
Remove Makeup
Arrive at your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face to ensure optimal treatment results.
What should I do after Forma skin treatment?
You will receive specific post-treatment instructions following your Forma skin treatment. Many post-treatment guidelines are similar to pre-treatment guidelines, including staying hydrated, avoiding sun exposure, and avoiding skin irritants/harsh skincare products. Depending on your skincare goals and recommendations, you may need multiple treatment sessions to achieve optimal results.
