The Forma Facial is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that targets skin laxity as well as fine lines and wrinkles. A celebrity favourite, it can be both a preventative and curative anti-aging facial.
A celebrity essential, Forma is the non-invasive Skin Tightening treatment we’ve all been waiting for !
Forma/Forma Plus uses radio-frequency technology to achieve skin tightening effects by contracting existing collagen and stimulating neo-collagenesis (the production of new collagen). This procedure can be both preventative and curative, as the skin will achieve a lifted, youthful and smooth appearance.
Forma = treats the face and neck area. This includes lifting the cheekbones, contouring the jawline, tightening and lifting the jowls, softening any nasolabial folds/laugh lines, any fine lines or loss of volume, etc. It also treats a sagging chin, the lines on the neck and contracts the neck tissue. Also knows as the ‘non-surgical face lift’.
Forma Plus = treats areas on the body - improves the skin’s overall texture and tones and tightens sagging skin on the body. In just one session, Forma boosts collagen production by up to 20%. This is non-invasive body remodeling at its finest!
Am I a Candidate?
The body produces collagen naturally and it is in abundance when young, but unfortunately once we hit our 20’s our bodies stop producing collagen. A such, most clients who have started noticing skin laxity (usually at the age of mid-late twenties and over) are candidates for a Forma or FormaPlus treatment. Forma can also be used as a preventative tool in order to delay the aging process.
