REJUUV

WHAT IS FORMA?

Forma is a non-invasive skin tightening and rejuvenation treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. It is designed to target areas of the face and body where skin laxity and wrinkles are a concern.

During the procedure, a specialized handheld device is used to deliver controlled RF energy to the skin’s deeper layers. The heat generated by the RF energy promotes collagen remodeling and contraction, leading to firmer, tighter, and smoother skin.

Forma is commonly used to address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and overall skin texture. It is suitable for various skin types and can be used on areas like the forehead, cheeks, neck, jowls, and abdomen, among others.

One of the advantages of Forma is that it is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment, meaning there is no need for incisions or downtime. It is a popular option for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation with minimal discomfort and recovery time.

BENEFITS OF FORMA

Some common reasons why individuals choose Forma for skin rejuvenation and tightening include:

Skin Tightening: Forma is effective at tightening loose or sagging skin, improving the overall firmness and elasticity of the skin.
Wrinkle Reduction: It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially in areas prone to aging signs, such as the forehead, crow’s feet, and smile lines.
Collagen Stimulation: The treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

Versatility: Forma can be used on various areas of the face and body, making it a versatile treatment for addressing skin concerns on different body parts.
Minimal Downtime: There is little to no downtime after Forma, allowing individuals to resume their regular activities soon after the treatment.
Gradual Improvement: While some immediate results may be noticeable, the full benefits of Forma develop gradually over several weeks as collagen production increases.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?

To achieve noticeable and effective results, a series of weekly Forma sessions over a six-week period is recommended. This treatment schedule allows for a progressive improvement in skin tightness and texture as collagen production is stimulated. The consistency of weekly sessions helps optimize the long-lasting benefits of Forma, ensuring a gradual transformation and rejuvenation of the skin.

What to expect?

During a Forma treatment, here’s what you can generally expect:

Preparation: Before the procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed to ensure it’s free from any impurities. In some cases, a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
Forma Treatment: The healthcare professional will use a specialized handheld device that delivers controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to the skin’s deeper layers. The RF energy heats the collagen fibers, promoting collagen remodeling and contraction, leading to skin tightening.
Sensations: During the procedure, you may feel a warm or heating sensation on the skin, much like a hot stone massage, which is generally well-tolerated by most individuals.
Duration: Forma treatments typically last between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treated area and the individual’s needs.
No Downtime: One of the significant advantages of Forma is that there is little to no downtime, and most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately after the treatment.
Immediate and Gradual Results: Some immediate skin tightening effects may be noticeable after the procedure due to collagen contraction. However, the full effects of Forma develop gradually over several weeks as the stimulated collagen production continues.
Temporary Side Effects: Mild redness or warmth in the treated area may occur, but these effects usually subside shortly after the procedure.

DOCTOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS

Post-procedure recommendation for Forma:

Sunscreen: After the procedure and as part of daily skincare, it is essential to apply sunscreen every day. Sunscreen helps protect the skin from harmful UV rays and prevents premature aging, which can help maintain the benefits of Thermage and overall skin health.
