About Dermal Fillers

What Is Forma?

Forma is a nonsurgical skin treatment that uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. This process is intended to support collagen and elastin production while improving the appearance of loose or aging skin.

The treatment does not use needles or surgical incisions. Many clients choose Forma because it requires little to no downtime and can be added to an ongoing skincare plan.

Areas Forma Can Treat

Forma is commonly used on areas such as:

Forehead
Around the eyes
Cheeks
Nasolabial folds
Jawline
Chin
Neck
Other areas approved by your provider

Your provider will determine whether Forma is appropriate for your desired treatment area.

What to Expect During Forma

A layer of gel may be applied to the treatment area before the procedure begins. Your provider will then move the Forma handpiece across the skin using smooth, continuous motions.

Most clients describe the treatment as warm and similar to a heated facial massage. The device monitors skin temperature throughout the session.

Treatment time varies based on the size and number of areas being treated. Many facial appointments take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

Tell your provider immediately if the treatment feels excessively hot or uncomfortable.

How Does Forma Work?

During treatment, the Forma handpiece moves across the skin while delivering controlled radiofrequency energy. The device monitors the skin’s temperature to help maintain consistent and comfortable heating.

The warmth created during treatment supports the skin’s natural collagen-remodeling process. As collagen develops over time, the treated skin may appear smoother, firmer, and more refreshed.

Results develop gradually and vary from person to person.
