Introduction
If your goal is a sharper profile and firmer skin—without needles or downtime—Forma is a standout option. This radiofrequency (RF) treatment uses controlled warmth to activate collagen, promoting a natural lift and bounce. Think smoother jawline, tighter cheeks, and a refreshed, camera-ready glow—no needles, no drama.
What Is Forma?
Forma is a non-invasive RF skin-tightening treatment. By delivering even, gentle heat to the dermis, it stimulates collagen remodeling and encourages neocollagenesis (new collagen formation). The result: skin that feels tighter, looks more lifted, and appears more refined in texture over a series of sessions.
Key takeaways
Non-surgical, no incisions
Comfortable, “warm massage” sensation
Minimal to no downtime
Progressive improvement with each visit
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Forma is ideal if you notice:
Softening along the jawline or early jowling
Mild to moderate skin laxity in the cheeks or lower face
Fine lines that make makeup settle unevenly
A desire for lift and definition without injectables or surgery

Popular Treatment Areas
Jawline & Jowls: for a crisper outline and “snatched” lower face
Cheeks & Nasolabial Area: for bounce and lift
Under-Chin: to improve the transition from chin to neck
Forehead & Brows: for a subtle, fresher frame to the eyes
How Forma Works (In Plain English)
Forma uses bipolar RF energy to heat the dermis to an optimal, safe temperature. This thermal exposure:
Contracts existing collagen (instant tightening effect).
Signals fibroblasts to produce new collagen, improving firmness and elasticity over time.
Because energy and temperature are precisely controlled, the treatment remains comfortable and consistent across the entire area.
What to Expect: Timing, Feel, and Downtime
Session time: ~30–45 minutes for the face
Sensation: cozy warmth—many clients describe it like a heated facial
Downtime: minimal; you may be slightly pink for 15–60 minutes
Makeup/Activities: typically resume the same day
Results Timeline
Immediately after: a smoother, tighter feel (“post-facial glow”)
2–6 weeks: progressive firming as collagen rebuilds
Best outcomes: usually seen after a series (commonly 6–8 sessions, spaced weekly), then maintenance every 1–3 months depending on your goals and skin
Results vary by individual. We’ll map a treatment plan that matches your skin, schedule, and budget.
Forma vs. Fillers vs. Threads (Quick Guide)
Forma: tightens the skin envelope and refines texture—great for overall firmness and definition
Fillers: replace volume (cheeks, folds, lips) and contour via structure
Threads: mechanically lift tissue with dissolvable sutures
Many clients combine modalities (e.g., Forma for tightening + light filler for structure) for a balanced, natural result.
Aftercare Tips
Hydrate well before/after your session
Use a gentle cleanser and SPF 30+ daily
Avoid hot saunas or intense workouts for the rest of the day if you’re sensitive
Keep up with your series—collagen loves consistency

FAQs
Is Forma painful?
Most clients find Forma comfortable—more like a warm massage than a medical procedure.
How many sessions do I need?
A typical plan is 6–8 weekly sessions, then maintenance every 1–3 months. Your exact number depends on your skin and goals.
Will I see results after one treatment?
You’ll likely notice an immediate “tight” feel and glow, with firmer definition building over several weeks as collagen remodels.
Any downtime or side effects?
Downtime is minimal. Temporary redness or warmth can occur and usually fades within an hour.
Can I combine Forma with other treatments?
Yes. Forma pairs well with MiniFX (for localized fat under the chin/jawline) and Pastelle Laser (for tone and clarity). We’ll advise on timing.
Is Forma safe for my skin type?
Forma is suitable for most skin tones and types. We’ll review your history to ensure it’s appropriate for you.
