What Are the Benefits of Forma Treatment?

Forma is a fabulous choice for advanced skin treatment that boasts a number of benefits:

  • Delivers tighter, smoother skin

  • Reduces the appearance of skin irregularities

  • Reduces the appearance of fine lines + wrinkles

  • Safe for any skin tone, including very dark skin

What Areas Can Be Treated?

  • Smile lines

  • Jawlines

  • Neck folds/loose skin

  • Upper and lower eyelids/drooping skin

  • Nasolabial folds

How Does Forma Work?

Forma works to stimulate collagen remodelling via radio frequency. The equipment head glides over the treatment areas, radiating radio frequency into the skin; this in turn heats the skin, causing contraction in the deeper layers of the skin. This type of deep tissue stimulation prompts new collagen production, creating long-lasting collagen and elastin production that tightens, firms, and smoothes the skin for a wonderfully youthful, natural look.

This procedure is entirely non-invasive, and is one of the most effective non-invasive methods for achieving the “facelift” effect. This is also a very comfortable treatment; you’ll feel a mild warming sensation on the treated areas.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?

We recommend a series of treatments: an initial series of one treatment per week for 6 weeks, after which we recommend monthly treatments for maintenance.

Who Is Forma Suitable For?

Forma is suitable for any patient besides those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Forma is also safe for any skin type, including darker skin tones; because it uses radiofrequency energy, it is safer than traditional lasers on darker skin tones.

What Results Can I Expect and When Can I Expect to See Them?

While multiple sessions are required for best results, you’ll see results within about 1-2 weeks after just one session. A multi-session treatment schedule (determined at your consultation) will deliver maximum results that last between 4-6 years (depending on the condition of your skin when treatments are started). You can expect to see significant skin tightening resulting in fewer fine lines + wrinkles, a decrease in sagging or loose skin,

Is There Any Downtime?

Not really! You’ll be able to return to your regular activities the same day; you may notice a faint redness, but this will be minimal. You won’t find the prolonged redness or pigmentation concerns that are seen with more invasive procedures.

Is This Treatment Painful?

On the contrary - Forma is a lovely, relaxing treatment that delivers a slight warming sensation and nothing more. You’re guarantee to be extremely comfortable during this treatment with no pain or discomfort.

Can I Get Additional Treatments Done At the Same Time?

Unfortunately, no. It is important to receive any facials, neuromodulator injections, or other laser treatments at least 1 week prior to your Forma session; additionally, we recommend waiting another week after you are treated to start any additional treatments. This allows your skin time to react positively to the treatment and start the process of collagen remodeling before adding additional treatments.

Pre- and Post-Care

  • Be sure to discontinue any use of retinol products 5 days prior to treatment.

    This treatment cannot be preformed if you are currently on Isotretinoin. Any Isotretinoin usage must be stopped at least 6 months before you plan on receiving this treatment.

    Avoid tanning beds or prolonged outdoor exposure at least 2 weeks before you are treated. Tanning can increase the risk of complications post-treatment and can potentially reduce the effectiveness of the laser.

    Keep your skin well-hydrated before your treatment; drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day for a few days pre-treatment.

  • For the first 90 minutes following your treatment, avoid applying any products that have not been recommended or provided to you by your aesthetician/laser technician.

    Use a gentle, non-abrasive (non-exfoliating) cleanser for the first 3 days following your treatment. Avoid chemical exfoliants as well, such as products containing glycolic acid or lactic acid.

    Avoid tanning beds and/or prolonged exposure to the sun for at least 1 week post-treatment. Be sure to apply ample sunscreen during this time as well and use at least an SPF 30 formula.

“It was my very first time trying Laser Hair Removal. I thought it was going to hurt a lot, instead I felt next to nothing. Charmaine made me feel calm and comfortable throughout the whole session. She is very professional and knows what she is doing! Thanks again Charmaine!”
