Forma
Forma is a cutting-edge, non-surgical skin tightening and elasticity treatment. Using radiofrequency technology, Forma gradually heats the deep layers of tissue beneath the skin to an optimal temperature for a set period of time. The body responds to this deep tissue stimulation by forming new collagen, its natural skin-plumping mechanism. This system is geared to improve the skin’s elasticity and contour for a firmer, tighter appearance.
About Forma:
Forma is suitable for all skin types and is appropriate for any individual seeking a non-invasive and natural looking approach to improvements in skin tone, texture and laxity. It is a perfect treatment for busy, active patients who cannot tolerate a lot of downtime. Forma is called a “lunch-time treatment” because you can resume normal activities immediately after and apply any skin care products or make-up as desired. Commonly treated areas include: forehead, crow’s feet, eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines and neck.
Forma can improve:
- Loose skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture.
Forma is completely painless, feeling more like a warm massage. There is zero downtime. In some cases, the skin might appear slightly red, but any redness should subside within a couple of hours. You should notice gradual results with each treatment as new collagen is produced. Results will continue to improve for months after treatments as collagen continues to form and your skin continues to contract.
FAQ
How is Forma different from other RF treatments?
Forma is the only auto-adjusting thermal radio frequency skin treatment. Pre-programmed optimal temperatures control the thermal profile and maintain the temperature for a prolonged thermal treatment without overheating. Even thermal treatment means better results. The Forma technology is based on ACE technology which is comprised of the following steps:
Acquire: Forma has a temperature sensor built into the hand piece which reads skin surface temperature 1000 times per second, allowing skin temperature to be acquired in real time.
Control: Software algorithm allows unprecedented safety of RF delivery. The “cut off temperature" feature reduces RF energy automatically when the hand piece senses that the required skin temperature has been reached.
Extend: Clinical evidence suggests prolonged exposure to temperature above 40°C is advantageous for optimal clinical outcomes. Only the technology in Forma allows the utilisation of therapeutic temperatures safely and efficiently.
