Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency skin tightening with Forma

explore

Using Forma to deliver advanced radiofrequency skin tightening for both the face and body. These technologies emit controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin production to improve skin laxity and restore firmness. By gently heating the underlying tissue, the treatment effectively refines the jawline, tightens the neck, smooths the abdomen, and enhances overall contour without damaging surrounding skin. The ability to precisely target areas of looseness while maintaining patient comfort makes Forma a preferred choice for non-surgical rejuvenation. Treatments require minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume daily activities immediately after their session. With their versatility and ability to address mild to moderate laxity on both face and body, these treatments stand as a popular, effective, and non-invasive option for achieving firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Typically, a series of 6–8 sessions is recommended for optimal results.

About Skin Tightening

Skin tightening treatments deliver controlled thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin in consistent pulses. This gentle heating stimulates collagen and elastin production, encouraging the skin to firm and remodel naturally over time for a smoother, more refined appearance.

What skin concerns can this address?

Skin tightening treatments are designed to improve mild to moderate skin laxity and early structural softening. They can help refine the jawline, tighten the neck, smooth under-chin fullness, and improve laxity on areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking non-surgical firming and preventative collagen support.

Is this treatment painful?

Most patients describe the experience as comfortably warm, similar to a heated facial or hot stone massage. The treatment is designed to maintain therapeutic temperatures while protecting the surface of the skin, making it both safe and well tolerated without the need for numbing.

How long does a session take?

Sessions typically range from 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area being treated. With no downtime required, appointments can easily fit into a lunch break or busy schedule.

What should I expect immediately after the treatment?

Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear slightly flushed and feel warm, which usually resolves within a few hours. There is no peeling or required recovery period, and patients can return to normal daily activities right away. A series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results.

what to expect

1

Consultation

Your skin tightening journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess areas of laxity, structural softening, and overall skin quality. We’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and determine the most effective treatment plan for you. You’ll receive a personalized series recommendation, along with guidance on how to prepare for treatment and what to expect throughout the process.

2

Treatment

During your treatment, controlled thermal energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve firmness. The procedure typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on the area being treated. You will feel a comfortably warm sensation as the tissue is gently heated. The treatment is well tolerated and does not require numbing. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly pink and feel warm.

3

Post Treatment

Mild redness and warmth are common immediately after treatment and typically resolve within a few hours. There is no peeling or required downtime, and most patients return to normal activities right away. Staying hydrated and maintaining a consistent skincare routine will help support collagen remodeling and optimize results.

4

Follow up

Most patients require a series of 6–8 sessions, spaced weekly or bi-weekly, for optimal results. During follow-up visits, we assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. As collagen production increases over time, you’ll notice gradual improvements in firmness, contour, and overall skin smoothness.

5

Maintenance

After completing your initial treatment series, maintenance sessions once or twice per year may be recommended to preserve collagen stimulation and sustain long-term firmness. Consistent upkeep helps maintain smooth, lifted, and naturally refined results.
