SKIN TIGHTENING WITH FORMA
Known as the red carpet facelift, learn more about this non-invasive, celebrity loved treatment & how it can work for you!Forma Skin Tightening is a non-invasive new treatment that offers noticeable results. It is loved by celebrities all over the world and is the secret to many fresh faces that appear at award shows and on the red carpet. It has no downtime and results in fresher, smoother and tighter skin.
How does it work?
Forma works by heating the skin and tissue where the handpiece is applied using Radiofrequency energy. The energy gradually heats the dermal layer where all of your collagen bonds reside. The gradual heating of the dermal layer will cause a small amount of micro-injury will occur under the skin. This causes the skin to react as it would if there had been an injury and it will start to repair the heated tissue, building new collagen bonds. These new collagen bonds are responsible for the significant tightening, contouring and lifting of the skin that can be achieved with a Forma treatment.
Why Forma?
There has been a significant demand for non-invasive procedures and this is increasing. The traditional product only facials are becoming old fashioned and the demand is now for treatments that deliver on results.
Forma is loved by celebrities and many have been pictured in the news or on Instagram having the treatment because it allows for significant but natural-looking results in as little as 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. It is known for having long-lasting results and no downtime at all.
Your aesthetician will use the handpiece to focus on an area, heating the dermis to around 41-43 degrees where injury and repair can start to happen. The treatment feels like a warm stone massage and there is no pain or downtime.
Am I suitable for Forma?
