What is Forma?
Forma uses fractionated radio-frequency energy to stimulate the formation of new collagen as well as improve the skin's elasticity for remarkable, long-lasting results. This is the perfect treatment if you have sagging skin in your face and neck, knees, abs and other parts of the body. Forma is a comfortable, non-invasive solution that you can do over your lunch break without worrying about any downtime. These results can be long-lasting with proper maintenance and the right skincare routine.
At Executive Esthetics in Laguna Beach we highly recommend Forma as a great way to tighten and rejuvenate loose sagging skin, smooth wrinkles, and boost collagen. Forma is most commonly used as an alternative and less invasive option to Morpheus8. It will require more treatments to achieve similar results but can be effective for patients with lower pain tolerance. Forma is also an incredible compliment to PDO Threads as it not only reduces downtime and assists in the permanent setting of the threads, but the added rejuvenation allows for truly breathtaking results!

What can I expect?
At the start of the procedure, we apply a conductive gel to the treatment area that allows the wand to glide more easily over the skin. We then move the wand in a circular motion over each section of the area, delivering Radio Frequency heat. Patients typically say the treatment feels relaxing, similar to a hot-stone massage. Forma has no downtime, but your face will look flushed, similar to an intense workout. This can last anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours, depending on your skin sensitivity.

What areas can be treated?
FORMA can be used on any part of the body in need of contraction or a collagen boost after the effects of weight gain/loss or general aging. It’s commonly used to treat the forehead, neck, crow’s feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, and smile lines.
