Forma Skin Tightening

Forma is a non‑invasive radiofrequency skin‑tightening treatment that firms the skin, smooths fine lines, and supports long‑term collagen health. It delivers natural‑looking results without anesthesia, downtime, or invasive procedures.

How Forma Compares to Other Facial Rejuvenation Treatments

Compared with injectables or surgical facelifts, Forma provides a comfortable alternative that gradually refines facial contours and skin texture through controlled heat.

Why It’s Increasingly Popular in North Vancouver

Clients appreciate its convenience and consistent results—an advanced treatment that fits easily into modern, active lifestyles while keeping skin looking refreshed and firm.

Here’s a closer look at how the treatment works:

Thermal Skin Stimulation and Collagen Remodelling

During treatment, the Forma device delivers precisely regulated radiofrequency energy into the dermis. The heat activates fibroblast cells responsible for collagen and elastin, improving elasticity and tone.

How Forma RF Targets Dermal Layers

Energy penetrates beneath the surface, safely warming structural layers without damaging the epidermis. This deep thermal effect promotes smoother texture and natural lifting from within.

Forma vs. Invasive Procedures: Safety & Results

Because Forma works through gentle heating rather than incisions or injections, it involves minimal risk and no downtime—offering steady, progressive improvements in firmness and youthful definition.

FORMA skin tightening can be applied to multiple areas of the face and body for noticeable lifting, smoothing, and contouring. Common treatment areas include:

Face: Forma is commonly used on the cheeks, mid-face, nasolabial folds, jowls, and jawline. By firming these areas, it restores youthful contours and definition while softening smile lines.

• Cheeks and mid-face
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Jowls and jawline
• Under-eye area (to improve skin texture and reduce puffiness)

Neck: Targets horizontal neck creases, necklace lines, and sagging skin under the chin. It also improves skin quality on the décolletage, reducing visible creases and fine lines.

• Necklines and horizontal neck creases (sometimes referred to as “necklace lines”)
• Loose skin under the chin (“double chin” or submental area)

Body:

• Abdomen (to target mild skin laxity and improve contour)
• Upper arms (to address loose skin and improve tone)
• Thighs (to tighten skin and improve texture)
• Knees (to reduce sagging skin)
• Other areas with loose or sagging skin

It’s essential to remember that the effectiveness of FORMA skin tightening can vary depending on the severity of skin laxity and the individual’s unique skin characteristics. Additionally, FORMA is generally well-suited for mild to moderate skin tightening needs. For more significant skin laxity or specific concerns, alternative treatments like surgical procedures (e.g., facelift, body lift) may be more appropriate.

Forma is particularly effective for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Wrinkles and Fine Lines: By stimulating collagen remodeling, Forma softens wrinkles and fine lines. The treatment gradually tightens the skin, restoring a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful appearance.
• Skin Laxity and Sagging: Forma improves mild to moderate skin laxity by firming tissues beneath the surface, especially around the jawline and neck. It provides subtle lift and enhanced definition.
• Uneven Skin Tone and Dullness: Increased collagen and elastin production enhance overall skin tone and texture. Patients often notice smoother, more radiant skin with fewer visible imperfections.
• Mild Acne Scarring and Texture Issues: Forma’s deep thermal stimulation encourages tissue remodeling, reducing the appearance of mild acne scars and improving skin texture, leading to a healthier and more resilient complexion.
• Loss of Skin Elasticity: Forma can boost the production of collagen and elastin, enhancing skin elasticity and resilience.
• Jawline and Neck Tightening: Forma is often used to target the jawline and neck area, providing a more defined and lifted appearance.
• Nasolabial Folds: Forma can soften the nasolabial folds (smile lines) by tightening the surrounding skin.

Here’s who can benefit most from Forma Facial treatments:

Ideal Age Groups and Skin Types

Forma is suitable for adults of all skin types, including those with sensitive, dry, or oily skin. It is especially beneficial for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, and early aging signs, helping to restore firmness and smoothness to the skin.

Can Forma Be Used Preventatively?

Many clients choose Forma as a proactive treatment to preserve skin elasticity and maintain a youthful appearance. By stimulating collagen production, Forma helps delay the early visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and sagging, keeping skin firmer and smoother for longer.

Forma for Post-Weight Loss Skin Laxity

Forma is highly effective for individuals dealing with skin laxity after significant weight loss or pregnancy. It helps restore skin firmness and elasticity, tightening loose or sagging skin, especially in areas like the abdomen, thighs, and upper arms, promoting a smoother and more toned appearance.

When preparing for a Forma session, here’s what you can generally expect before, during, and after your treatment:

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation, during which a certified Forma technician will assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and confirm whether the treatment is right for you. They will explain the procedure, potential benefits, and any possible side effects.

Before your session, your skin will be cleansed, and you’ll be asked to remove makeup or skincare products from the treatment area. Staying well-hydrated and avoiding retinoid products beforehand is recommended.

During the Session

Once your skin is prepped, the handheld Forma device is applied to the target areas. It emits controlled radiofrequency energy, safely heating deeper dermal layers while protecting the surface skin.

Most patients describe a gentle warming sensation, similar to a hot stone massage. The treatment is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. Depending on the number of areas treated, sessions typically last between 30 and 60 minutes.

Post-Treatment Aftercare

After your session, it’s normal to experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few hours. Because Forma is non-invasive, there is no downtime, so you can immediately return to daily activities. To maintain results, it’s essential to keep skin hydrated and apply sunscreen as advised by your provider.

While some tightening may be noticeable right away, the full benefits of collagen remodelling appear gradually over several weeks, with smoother texture and firmer skin continuing to improve over time.

Here’s what you need to know about Forma treatment costs and financing:

Price Per Session vs. Packages

Individual Forma sessions start at $250 for the jawline, $350 for the neck, $350 for a full face, and $550 for combined face and neck treatments. For clients seeking more comprehensive results, treatment packages offer greater savings when multiple areas are addressed in one plan.

Seasonal Promotions or Multi-Area Discounts

Clients may also benefit from occasional seasonal promotions or multi-area discounts, which provide extra savings when treating multiple facial or body areas in a single treatment package. These promotions ensure you get the most effective results for your investment.

How many sessions for optimal results?
