Kick-Start Your Collagen Production From Within
Forma RF works by using radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and tightening the skin. Here’s a breakdown of how the process works:
- Radiofrequency Energy Delivery: The Forma device emits RF energy through a specialised handpiece that is applied to the skin. This energy penetrates the dermal layers without damaging the surface.
- Controlled Heating: The RF energy raises the temperature of the targeted tissues, specifically the dermis, to a therapeutic range. This controlled heating stimulates the body’s natural healing response. The device does not allow the skin to burn and automatically stops heating when target temperature is achieved.
- Collagen Stimulation:As the deeper layers of the skin heat up, it triggers the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity, while elastin contributes to skin firmness.
- Improved Skin Tightening and Texture: The increased collagen production helps to tighten the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture and tone.
- Real-Time Temperature Monitoring: Forma RF features advanced technology that continuously monitors the skin’s temperature during treatment. This ensures that the skin is heated evenly and safely, optimising results.
Forma RF is ideal for:
- Prevention of ageing skin & ‘collagen banking’- prevention is always best! Treat your skin before the signs arise.
- Minor signs of ageing such as early jowls, fine lines and mild loss of elasticity.
- Alongside other treatments to optimise results and support collagen levels.
- To help your skin if you want a non-invasive treatment without any downtime.
FAQs
Are there any side effects of Radiofrequency therapy?
Forma radiofrequency treatments involve minimal downtime. Immediately after treatment you will experience mild redness, which typically resolves within 1-2 hours. Most individuals can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient option for skin tightening and rejuvenation.
How many treatments will I need?
To achieve results and improvements with RF treatment you need to commit to a course of 6 treatments as your skin will require repeated stimulation to promote collagen production. We recommend one treatment every week for the 6 week course. Depending on your skin concerns you may need further treatments or we may recommend forma alongside other options.
How long will the results last?
Forma RF results can last up to one year- the duration of results will depend on your age, genetics, lifestyle factors, overall health and whether you commit to maintenance treatments. As our skin is continuously ageing and becoming damaged from daily stressors, it is important to regularly commit to treatments to maintain results. After your course we recommend a Forma session every 12 weeks to keep your skin healthy.
