Treatment or Concern

Let us know what treatment you're enquiring about or your skin concerns.

A Forma® treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes per treatment area and you can expect to experience a tolerable heat and occasional pricking sensation. There is typically no downtime post-treatment, although the skin may appear flushed for a few hours. Mild swelling and tingling may occur, but this typically improves in the next few hours. It is recommended to do 6-8 sessions a week apart for the best and long-lasting results, however skin tightening is visible from the first session itself. The number of treatments and the gap between treatments also depends on the skin condition and elasticity and it is best discussed after a proper examination by the physician.
Because Forma is so gentle, there’s not much that needs to be done to prepare for the treatment. It is best to avoid tanning and prolonged sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your appointment. Stop using exfoliators and retinoids in your skin regime 3-5 days before the treatment. It is not advised in case of active acne or infections on the face.
No specific post-procedure care is required, however it is ideal to avoid exfoliants and retinols for the first 72 hours post-treatment. Enjoy the benefits of a brighter, more luminous complexion.

FAQ on Forma face and body tightening

Forma is a treatment which is suitable for any skin type and for anyone looking for skin tightening, increased elasticity, and improvements to the overall quality and integrity of their skin. One of the reasons why this treatment is popular amongst celebrities and the general public alike is because it can benefit almost anyone. Amazing long-lasting results can be achieved with multiple sessions, but even a single session can work wonders to give a quick glow-up before any special events or evenings out.
The results of a Forma Facial are almost instant. You can see a glow and a tighter, lifted look right from the end of the first treatment. You’ll see a noticeable improvement in your skin within 1-3 days following your Forma® Facial, once any redness or swelling has subsided. However, the best results will be seen once you’ve completed your series of treatment sessions, and they will only continue to improve after that as your body continues to build new collagen. This is a popular treatment just before a special event or evening out with minimal downtime. Makeup can be applied directly after the procedure, so no matter what plans you have, your skin will be looking flawless, youthful, and contoured.
The long-lasting effects of Forma skin treatment are due to the induction of collagen and elastin fibres. If your skin goals include targeting skin elasticity and real and lasting tightening of the tissues, we recommend doing 6 sessions 1-2 weeks apart. This works by incrementally increasing the collagen in the skin and you will see the results build up with every session. This is a painless and effective way of giving your skin a new starting point! After the initial 6 sessions, you can maintain the results with a treatment once every few months or so, though the results of a treatment series can last up to a year. And of course, it’s a safe and effective treatment for a glow-up in between as well.
If you have any active infection in the treated area, Forma face treatment cannot be performed. It is recommended to do Forma before doing HA fillers or Botox, if done after, please wait for at least 2 weeks after fillers and Botox to do the session.
Forma skin treatment is very popularly done for the face (forehead, upper/lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, cheek, jowls), neck (turkey neck and/or waddle), elbows, and knees. It is one of the latest technologies available for targeting cellulite and tightening areas of skin laxity like arms, abdomen, inner and outer thighs, knees, elbows, etc. It is the perfect treatment to counteract skin ageing due to weight loss and post-pregnancy body changes. Combined with enzyme contouring over the body, we have seen some excellent results with just a few sessions.
Forma skin treatment delivers its energy in a highly controlled and precise way, making it a comfortable procedure with minimal downtime. In fact, it is described by many as similar to a hot stone massage! It does take time, however, so you can sit back and relax and let the Forma do its magic.
Forma skin tightening is performed once a week for 6 weeks and each session can take up to 1-1.5 hours depending on the area being treated.
Forma face treatment is an ideal preventive treatment to ensure tighter, firmer skin by re-stimulating and rebuilding the collagen that we lose with age. It is used by many patients in the age range of 20-30 years once every 3-6 months to maintain their healthy, youthful glow and firm skin. Patients with more skin laxity will require more frequent and repeated sessions; please note that every individual's skin is different and the results and the number of sessions needed may vary.
Of course! Forma can give excellent results in combination with Morpheus8. This powerful pair gives a complete 3D stimulation of collagen and skin remodelling and is one of the most advanced treatments for fat reduction, improving skin laxity for a visibly taught skin and body. In trouble areas, or in case of cellulite, we also combine Forma with enzymes for fat reduction and contouring to act on stubborn fat and fibrosis, thus complementing the tightening effect of Forma® and giving visible, long-lasting results.
Forma uses radio frequency current which flows between the electrodes on the hand piece to create heat. The advanced technology in Forma ensures a precise heating to a temperature range of 41-43 degrees Celsius which triggers the old collagen to unwind and new collagen formation and remodelling at the deepest layers of the skin. It reads your skin surface temperature a staggering 1,000 times per second and cuts off the heat at the optimum temperature to protect your skin. As new collagen forms in the days and weeks after your treatment, you will notice that your skin becomes tighter, smoother, and with fewer wrinkles.
