What Forma actually does
Forma delivers monopolar RF energy through a smooth handpiece that glides continuously across the skin. The device monitors surface temperature in real time and maintains the dermis at a temperature range that causes collagen fibres to contract and triggers new collagen synthesis without causing surface damage.
Contracted collagen fibres create an immediate, mild tightening effect. New collagen builds over weeks to months. The result is incremental and cumulative across a series of sessions.
What a Forma series looks like
An initial series of six to eight weekly sessions is typically recommended. Each session runs 30 to 45 minutes for the face and neck. After the initial series, monthly maintenance sessions sustain the result.
Most patients notice a gradual firming and improvement in skin tone over the course of the series. The result is not the kind that generates dramatic before and after photos. It is the kind that makes you look consistently well rather than different.
Who Forma is for
Patients in their 30s and early 40s who want to slow the development of laxity before significant sagging occurs. Patients who have completed a Morpheus8 series and want to maintain the result with a lower-intensity, no-downtime option. Patients who cannot take any social downtime from their schedule and want a treatment that fits around their life.
Forma is not the right choice for patients with established jowling, significant neck laxity, or deep structural facial changes. For those presentations, Morpheus8, thread lifts, or a surgical consultation are more appropriate options.
Combining Forma with other treatments
Forma pairs well with injectables and can be performed on the same day as neurotoxins and fillers in many cases. It is also commonly combined with DP4 microneedling and chemical peels in a broader skin quality programme. Natasha and Ashtin will discuss a sequenced plan at your consultation.
