What it is
Forma™ is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment. A handpiece glides over the skin and delivers controlled heat to the skin and the tissue beneath it, which can prompt a gradual collagen response.
It uses no needles and doesn't remove the skin's surface, so most people go back to their day right away. It's used on the face, cheeks, jawline, neck and forehead for subtle, gradual rejuvenation.
A Forma session for the face and neck is also one of the Silver membership's monthly treatments.
For the body, Forma Plus treats larger areas such as the abdomen and arms.

Frequently asked questions
Does Forma RF hurt?
Most patients describe it as comfortably warm. Your provider adjusts the treatment to your comfort and how your skin responds.
How many sessions will I need?
A series of about six to eight sessions is commonly recommended, but the number depends on your skin and your goals.
When will I see results?
Skin may look refreshed right after a session. Changes in firmness, when they happen, develop gradually over several weeks.
Can Forma RF replace a facelift?
No. It may improve mild laxity, but it can't reproduce the results of surgical lifting.
How is it different from Morpheus8™?
Forma RF delivers radiofrequency through the skin's surface without needles. Morpheus8™ combines microneedling with radiofrequency and usually involves more recovery time.
Can I combine it with other facial treatments?
Often, yes. It may complement facials, neuromodulators and other treatments when they're scheduled appropriately; your provider will plan the timing with you.
