Everything to Know About Forma Skin Tightening Treatments

At SpaMedica in Grand Rapids, MI, we are proud to offer our patents Forma skin tightening treatments – an advanced technology which has completely revolutionized the field of skin tightening and lifting. Known for its ability to provide patients with immediate results, the Forma skin tightening treatment has become popular among celebrities who need to attend red carpet events without surgery or downtime. For this reason it has earned the nickname the “Red Carpet Mini-Facelift.”

But affordable and effective Forma Skin Tightening Treatment isn’t just for rich and famous. In this article, we will discuss the many benefits of Forma Skin Tightening, and why it has become so popular among our Grand Rapids, MI patients.

Where Forma Skin Tightening Can be Used

The Forma treatment provides our Grand Rapids, MI patients with skin tightening results that are both immediate and long lasting, improving even further over time.

Forma skin tightening is ideal for toning and lifting almost all areas of the face, including: under-eye bags; fine lines around the nose and mouth; crow’s feet; forehead creases; drooping jowls, jawline or neck; and sagging eyelids. Forma Skin Tightening can also be performed almost anywhere on the body, including the buttocks, arms, thighs, abdomen, and knees.

How Forma Skin Tightening Works

Forma skin tightening is a radio-frequency treatment that delivers targeted heat energy to the layers beneath the skin. This energy not only immediately contracts and tightens the skin, but also promotes the continued development of skin-tightening collagen over time. The result is tighter, significantly rejuvenated skin.

The Forma skin tightening treatment delivers one million pulses per second of radio-frequency energy to the body’s deep, sub-dermal tissue. This not only results in instant remodelling of the tissue and skin structure, but also simultaneously stimulates the body’s own natural production of collagen and elastin – thereby improving the skin’s elasticity.

When the body loses collagen and elastin in the dermis, the skin begins to sag, and age-betraying wrinkles and lines begin to develop. Forma skin tightening puts an end to that with its combined radio-frequency and infrared laser light energies. By stimulating the body’s production of collagen, Forma skin tightening causes the body to naturally fill in wrinkles and tighten sagging skin, leaving our Grand Rapids patients looking more youthful than ever.

It has been demonstrated through clinical research that best laser and radiofrequency skin tightening results are achieved only within a very precise temperature range. For this reason, Forma skin tightening technology constantly calibrates itself to ensure the treatment area is kept within the most effective window of temperature for optimal skin tightening benefits.

Forma Skin Tightening Procedure

Before undergoing Forma skin tightening, patients are strongly encouraged to first receive a medical grade facial. While not mandatory, a facial exfoliates the dead skin cells and removes dirt and debris – which prepares the skin to accept and absorb the radiofrequency energy without interference.

Forma skin tightening is painless, so our Grand Rapids, MI patients don’t require anesthetic. During the procedure, patients can expect to feel some slight warmth and a sensation of “tightness” to the treatment area. In addition to being pain free, Forma skin tightening is also performed rapidly, with treatment sessions typically only lasting about an hour.

Even better, while our Grand Rapids patients will be provided with some post-treatment recommendations to optimize results, Forma Skin Tightening does not come with any downtime. Patients can resume their normal routine as soon as their appointment is complete.

Forma Skin Tightening Results

Perhaps the most groundbreaking feature of the Forma skin tightening treatment are the immediate results. But while Forma skin tightening patients do see visible results instantly after treatment, we remind anyone visiting our Grand Rapids practice that multiple treatments may be optimal to reach one’s desired skin tightening goals.

When treating fine lines and skin laxity that is less advanced, patients may be able to see significant and long-lasting results after just a single treatment. Patients who have experienced greater wrinkling and/or loss of skin elasticity may require up to three Forma skin tightening treatment sessions. Ultimately, the total number of treatments required depends upon the patient’s unique skin condition, as well as the aesthetic goals of each individual patient.

Forma skin tightening is an excellent, non-surgical alternative to a facelift and/or neck lift surgery – as well as a fast an effective way to tone and tighten skin on the body without exercise. With Forma skin tightening, our Grand Rapids patients are afforded smoother, tighter skin with results they can see immediately. And since Forma stimulates the gradual production of collagen, as time wears on, those results will only become more dramatic over time.
