FORMA Skin Tightening Treatment

Essential Information About Forma Skin Tightening Treatment

Today, numerous methods exist to enhance the appearance and texture of your skin. At AURAE MD in La Jolla, CA, we proudly provide a wide range of treatments designed to help women and men of all ages maintain their youthful radiance.

One effective approach to rejuvenating skin and counteracting the aging effects of time and sun exposure is skin tightening. The Forma skin tightening treatment utilizes radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate new collagen production and boost elasticity in the treated areas, resulting in skin that looks plump, refreshed, and radiant.


How Does the Forma Skin Tightening Procedure Work?

Forma radiofrequency treatment is widely regarded as the gold standard for skin tightening. It operates by gently warming the dermal layer of the skin using a handheld device. This heat prompts the body to respond as though the treated areas have experienced minor injuries, leading to natural collagen production for healing. Consequently, the skin becomes tighter and smoother, with lasting enhancements in lift and contour.

The procedure is painless and non-invasive. Every area of the face and body can be addressed, including:

  • Crow’s feet
  • Smile lines
  • Neck
  • Nasolabial folds
  • Jowls
  • Forehead
  • Arms
  • Abdomen

Any area needing skin contraction can benefit from Forma treatments.

A common question about skin tightening for the face and body is, “Will it hurt?” Forma skin tightening is not only painless but also often considered comfortable and relaxing.

Many patients describe the sensation of a Forma treatment as similar to a warm stone facial massage. The Forma wand’s heat settings are manually adjustable, enabling lower settings for sensitive areas such as around the eyes. If desired, we can apply a topical numbing agent to ensure your utmost comfort.

Is Forma Safe?
Forma is FDA-approved and suitable for all skin types, offering a completely non-invasive procedure with no recovery downtime.

Our Forma technology ensures optimal heat levels for every treatment area, providing effective results. All skin tightening and related procedures at our med spa are administered by trained and certified medical professionals.
What to Expect from Forma Skin Tightening Treatment
During your medical pre-evaluation, we’ll explore your aesthetic goals and desired outcomes to determine if the Forma skin tightening procedure is suitable for you.

The number of sessions required for optimal results varies based on the treatment area and your skin’s laxity. Areas with mild laxity will need fewer sessions. Typically, sessions are scheduled weekly over a six-week period, with each session lasting less than an hour.

The effects of Forma treatment are noticeable immediately. With each session, your skin will become tighter and look more youthful. You’ll see improvements in skin firmness and elasticity, along with a reduction in lines and wrinkles. Your skin’s condition may continue to enhance for several months after completing your treatment plan.

While results from skin tightening are long-lasting, they are not permanent. Skin tightening requires ongoing maintenance, unlike surgical procedures. Forma treatments can be combined with other services, such as facials, injectables, and additional laser treatments.
Aftercare for Skin Tightening Treatment
We’ll go over aftercare instructions at the end of your treatment session, encouraging you to ask questions to ensure you fully understand how to achieve the best results.

Skin tightening procedures require no recovery time, enabling you to quickly return to your regular activities.

However, we recommend avoiding intense exercise, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight during the initial recovery period. Additionally, it’s best to steer clear of certain skincare products, like those with retinol, during your treatment course.
What Is Forma Plus?
Forma Plus utilizes the same RF technology as Forma, but it is tailored for treating larger body areas. Individuals with sagging skin on their arms, abdomen, back, knees, inner thighs, or outer thighs due to weight loss or aging may find Forma Plus effective.
