Forma – skin tightening

Forma is a non‑invasive radiofrequency treatment used by our trained practitioners to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. It is designed to support gradual firming and smoothing of the treated areas over time, although responses and duration of results vary between individuals.
The treatment may be used on selected areas, including the forehead, upper and lower eyelids, the areas around the nose and mouth, the jawline and the neck, following an assessment of your skin type and medical history. Your practitioner will discuss expected benefits, limitations and potential risks before you decide whether Forma is suitable for you.

How does it work

Forma uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. This heat is designed to support collagen production and gradual firming of the treated area over time, although individual responses and duration of effect vary. The device distributes energy across the treatment tip and includes temperature monitoring to help maintain consistent, comfortable warmth within the recommended range. Your practitioner will discuss expected benefits, limitations and potential risks before treatment.

Possible effects following treatment may include:

Discomfort: You may experience discomfort during or after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relief may be used if needed
Swelling: Swelling in the treated area may occur and can last up to one week
Bruising or discoloration: Temporary bruising or purple discoloration may appear in the treated area
