Forma
What It Is
Forma is a radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment that uses energy to heat deeper layers of skin and stimulate collagen production. The device delivers controlled RF energy to the face, neck, or body without damaging the surface. Results develop gradually over weeks as the skin firms and texture improves.
Good Candidates
Forma works best for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want gradual improvement without downtime. It suits those seeking to address fine lines, wrinkles, or general skin texture. A provider can assess your specific goals and skin type to determine if Forma is appropriate for you.
What to Expect
The appointment typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. You'll feel warmth and mild tingling as the RF handpiece moves across the skin. No numbing is usually needed, and many people read or relax during the session.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is no downtime. Skin may appear slightly flushed immediately after, but this usually resolves within an hour. You can return to normal activities and apply makeup the same day.
Results and Longevity
Skin typically appears smoother and firmer within 2 to 4 weeks, with continued improvement for several months. Results vary based on starting skin condition and individual response. Maintenance treatments may be needed to sustain benefits.
