The Forma Facial - Why Celebs Love It
/WHAT IS FORMA?
You’ve probably heard us talk about the wonders of Forma already - we adore this non-invasive, comfortable, and dramatically effective treatment. It’s one of our premier offerings, and there’s a reason for that. Forma is a skin tightening procedure that leaves clients with naturally tighter, smoother, and brighter skin - even after just one treatment.
WHAT DOES FORMA DO?
Forma essentially tightens the skin using radio frequency and heat. The radio frequency penetrates deep into the dermal layers of the skin and gently heats it, prompting contraction of the skin and the formation of collagen. The result? Tightened skin with a plump look - no facelift required! Forma’s contouring ability makes a variety of fixes available - while you can treat your entire face, neck, and chest, you don’t have to.
The most important part of the process is the collagen remodelling. As we age, our body naturally slows the production of both collagen and elastin - the components that gave the skin of our youth that plump, bouncy, and lifted look. In addition to this, aging also depletes our skin of these essential components of skin health:
Natural fillers
Hyaluronic acid
Nutrients in the blood flow
Naturally, the skin will become thinner, looser, and drier over time as a result of these slow losses. Forma counteracts this aging process by stimulating the healthy, natural production of these things your skin once had in abundance. Forma stimulates cell turnover, prompting your body to produce new, healthy cells to replace the old, stimulates collagen and elastin production through the heating and contraction process, and ultimately provides the perfect boost that aging skin needs.
What Forma provides:
Natural increase in collagen and elastin production
Facial contouring and skin tightening
Restored, healthy capillary flow
Increased cellular turnover
Common conditions treated with Forma include:
Crow's feet
Brow lines
Nasolabial folds (“smile lines” or “laugh lines”)
Marionette lines (drooping and/or lines between the mouth and chin)
Jowls
Eyelid/eye area drooping and wrinkling
Lips lines and wrinkles
Other kinds of lines and wrinkles
WHY IS THIS A CELEB GO-TO?
(1) No downtime or pain
A remarkable feature of Forma is the lack of downtime. This is a treatment that doesn’t require a huge commitment or recovery time; pop in to get your treatment in the middle of running errands, before your work day - whenever! Forma is also a relaxing and pain-free treatment, so you’ll never have to worry about managing discomfort.
(2) You get results right away
Forma provides visible results 1-2 weeks after your first treatment. Just a single service allows radio-frequency to penetrate deep into the skin, stimulating collagen remodelling and prompting a natural skin-tightening effect. Even results that require a series of treatments happens fairly quickly. If you’re an instant-gratification kinda gal - don’t worry - this is a quick one!
(3) Treats difficult areas
Some areas of the face are notoriously difficult to treat; whether it’s jowls, neck lines, or drooping eyelids, there are parts of the face that require dramatic intervention to change. Forma is the perfect solution, as it’s skin-tightening effect allows clients to tighten and tone loose skin that might otherwise require surgical intervention to fix.
(4) Provides advanced anti-aging
Because of Forma’s ability to stimulate your skin’s own collagen remodelling and healing, your skin naturally tightens and firms without an artificial method holding your skin in place. Think facelifts or brow lifts - these are surgical options that require tons of downtime and healing, but don’t actually affect the health and well-being of the skin. Via these methods, there is no improvement in skin health and therefore you’re still going to have aging that will just happen on artificially tightened skin. With Forma, you’re taking years off and watching in real-time while your skin tightens and plumps itself - all as a result of being healthy!
(5) Safe for any skin type
No need to worry about sensitivity here! This method works purely on controlled heat and radio frequency - no lasers, no needles, and no pain involved. While we still recommend a consultation for this procedure, there’s less cause for concern with Forma than for a treatment like Microneedling or Fractora, where skin conditions like acne have to be taken into account first.
HOW CAN I GET STARTED?
Easy - book a consultation! Even if you’ve been with us before, we’ll still need to take a close look and make sure this treatment is right for you. We’ll be able to determine how many treatments you need for your desired result, since this number can be different depending on the client. Please book a Healthy Aging Consultation!
