Forma is commonly used to treat the forehead, neck, crow’s feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, and smile lines.
FormaPlus is the bigger version of Forma with a bigger wand that can be used in larger areas of the body to create a much wanted skin tightening for body remodeling.

Forma uses radio frequency skin tightening technology to provide optimal skin contraction in the deep layers of your skin. Radio-frequency energy will stimulate the formation of new collagen and improve skin elasticity for long-lasting improvement.
Forma was developed based on the clinical success of the proprietary A.C.E. (Acquire, Control, Extend) technology. A.C.E. technology uses radio-frequency energy to target and tighten deep layers of the skin, with no area being under or over treated. This ensures maximum and consistent results.
Forma is commonly used to treat the forehead, neck, crow’s feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, and smile lines.
FormaPlus is the bigger version of Forma with a bigger wand that can be used in larger areas of the body to create a much wanted skin tightening for body remodeling.
After FormaPlus treatments, you can achieve a more youthful and toned skin contour, making your body appear smoother, sexier and younger.
While it takes time to see results from boosted collagen production, some people see improvements (tighter and firmer skin, smaller pores, fewer wrinkles) within two weeks of their first treatment. Results from a series of treatments can last up to a year, and you’ll need one to three maintenance treatments per year. It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over a six-week period. Individuals with mild laxity may be treated in fewer sessions with more weeks between each treatment.
At the start of the procedure we will apply a conductive gel to the treatment area, to allow the wand to glide more easily over the skin. We will move the wand in a circular motion to deliver heat throughout the area. Typically, the treatment feels relaxing, similar to a hot-stone massage. The treatment usually takes 30 minutes, but may vary based on the areas to be treated.
While the wand automatically adjusts the temperature so it never gets too hot, we can lower the heat settings for people with more sensitive skin or on delicate areas, like under the eye.
When the procedure is done we will remove the gel with a cool towel and apply moisturizer and sunscreen.
Forma has no downtime, but your face will look flushed, like you’ve just had an intense workout. This can last anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on your skin sensitivity. Some patients may also have mild swelling and tingling.
Forma is suitable for all skin types and is appropriate for individuals seeking a non-invasive and a natural looking approach to improvements in skin tone and texture irregularities. Patients have reported that their skin feels smoother and more defined and a reduction in wrinkles.
Forma can be used on both the face and body. Commonly treated areas on the face include: forehead, crows feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines, and neck. On the body, popular treatments consist of the arms (bat wings), abdomen, thighs, and other areas that may need contraction.
Forma is an essentially painless procedure with no downtime due to its precise technology and deep-layer targeting of the skin. Slight redness in the treatment area is common post-procedure, and subsides within a few hours.
For maintenance, it is recommended to be treated once or twice a year.
Forma can be used in combination with most other laser treatments, facials, injectables and/or filler.
Many Forma patients will combine Forma with Morpheus8 and Lumecca Photofacial for a treatment series called MorphTotal Facial. MorphTotal Facial is the ultimate skin renovation treatment that addresses all in-demand facial concerns including skin laxity, uneven skin tone, uneven skin texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
