Forma: a pain-free, no-downtime skin tightening treatment for smoother, firmer skin
What we tell our patients: Forma tightens the skin and rejuvenates the skin with radiofrequency. It is the perfect add-on to a facial or hydrafacial to maintain collagen.
See instant skin tightening and get long-term benefits with Forma (aka Forma Facial).
Forma skin rejuvenation is included in our Foundation Facial for collagen promotion.
“Forma is so relaxing you might fall asleep.
So transformational you’ll want it with every facial.”
Courtney Lo, PA and CSLC Medspa Clinical Director
Here’s a look at a Forma treatment in action at CSLC.
How Forma tightens skin and makes skin look smoother.
25 to 30-minute
treatment
Forma uses radiofrequency (RF) to deliver topical heat to the treated area. A gel is applied to help conduct the RF waves into your skin tissue. Forma skin rejuvenation is focused on the jawline, upper face, lower face or neck.
Instant skin tightening with continued improvement.
The RF waves instantly contract lax or puffy skin. (you’ll feel tighter, like your skin put on Spanx, after you leave the office) and the Forma continues to improve and tighten skin for days to weeks after the treatment.
Added benefits of Forma skin rejuvenation and tightening
The beautiful things about Forma are 1: Treatment is so pain-free it’s like getting a hot-stone massage during your lunch hour and 2: There’s no downtime and there are no marks; no one will know you’ve had anything done.
InMode Forma skin rejuvenation and tightening treatment heats the deep layers of skin to 42-45°C. Maintaining that temperature for just a few minutes instantly contracts collagen and stimulates fibroblast activity.
In plain English, your skin looks younger and tighter.
1. Collagen loss creates lumps and elasticity.
Every year after age 20, we lose 1% of our collagen, and in our 30s this loss becomes visible in the form of sagging, fine lines and lack of firmness.
2. Magnetic fields and radiofrequency help restore firmness.
Treatments like Forma “injure” the skin, which convinces our bodies to “repair the wound” and produce new collagen through a process called neocollagenesis.
