FAQs

DDoes RF skin tightening hurt?

Most clients find RF skin tightening very comfortable. During a Forma treatment, you'll feel a gentle warming sensation, similar to a hot stone massage. The treatment is designed to heat the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the surface, making it a relaxing experience with little to no discomfort.

Is Forma safe?

Yes. Forma is an FDA-cleared radiofrequency treatment with built-in temperature monitoring to help maintain safe, consistent heating throughout the treatment. When performed by a trained provider, it is considered a safe, non-surgical option for skin tightening and collagen stimulation.

How long do Forma results last?

Many clients notice smoother, firmer skin after their first treatment, with the best results developing over 2–3 months as new collagen forms. Results commonly last 6–12 months, depending on age, skin quality, lifestyle, and maintenance treatments.

How many Forma sessions do I need?

Most clients achieve the best results with a series of 6–8 treatments, typically scheduled once a week. After your initial series, maintenance treatments every 2–3 months can help prolong your results.

Can RF tighten the neck?

Yes. Forma is an excellent treatment for mild to moderate skin laxity on the neck. It can improve loose skin, reduce the appearance of "turkey neck," and help define the jawline by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Can RF tighten loose skin after weight loss?

Yes. Forma can help improve mild to moderate skin laxity following weight loss by encouraging your body to produce new collagen. While it won't remove large amounts of excess skin, it can noticeably improve firmness and skin texture without surgery.

Can Forma help after pregnancy?

Yes. After pregnancy, Forma Plus can help improve mild skin laxity on the abdomen and other body areas by stimulating collagen production. It pairs well with body contouring treatments for clients looking to restore firmer-looking skin. (Treatment should only be performed after you've recovered from pregnancy and are no longer pregnant.)

What's the difference between Forma and Forma Plus?

• Forma is designed for the face and smaller areas, including the forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck, and around the eyes.

• Forma Plus uses a larger handpiece designed for the body, treating areas such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks, knees, and back more efficiently.

Both treatments use the same radiofrequency technology to stimulate collagen and tighten skin.

Can I combine Forma with Fractora?

Absolutely. Forma and Fractora complement each other very well.

• Forma focuses on tightening skin and stimulating collagen with no downtime.

• Fractora combines radiofrequency with microneedling to improve deeper wrinkles, acne scars, skin texture, and more significant skin rejuvenation.

Many clients begin with Fractora for resurfacing and follow with Forma treatments to enhance and maintain tightening results.

Is there downtime?

One of the biggest advantages of Forma is that there is little to no downtime. You may experience slight redness or warmth immediately after treatment, but this typically resolves within a few hours. Most clients return to work and normal daily activities right away.
