Forma is a no-downtime treatment that uses radio-frequency to induce an immediate firming and skin tightening effect. While it can be done individually as a “red-carpet” treatment, it works best in a series!

In the short term, Forma provides a noticeable, immediate firming and tightening effect, so it’s perfect before any special events. Most patients will notice that their eyebrows and cheeks look refreshed while the area around their jawline and mouth seems firmer and smoother.

After a series of multiple treatments, your skin will look significantly firmer, tighter, and more youthful. What’s even better – you can expect these results to last! Think of it as a maintenance treatment that happens to feel super luxurious! 

VITALITY TIP: hydrating before your Forma facial will enhance your results!

There is absolutely no downtime – you can return to your normal schedule immediately after the treatment. A Forma face treatment is safe and suitable for everyone, no matter your skin type or if you have a tan.

To prepare for Forma, drink plenty of water before treatment and come with clean skin to your appointment!

FAQs

🔹 What areas can be treated?

These are the primary zones at Vitality that show immediate lifting and brightening effects.

Common areas include:

• Brows and forehead
• Cheeks and nasolabial folds
• Jawline and neck/under the chin

🔹 What does the treatment feel like?

Most clients describe it as a warm, hot stone massage—completely relaxing with no  discomfort. Some of our patients fall asleep during treatment! 

🔹 How long does each session last?

Sessions typically take 30–45 minutes, depending on targeted areas—similar to a lunchtime beauty boost.

🔹 How many treatments are needed?

Vitality recommends a series of 6–8 sessions, spaced 1–2 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. After the initial course, clients may schedule periodic maintenance.

🔹 What results can I expect, and how soon?

• Immediately: visible tightening, radiant glow, slight lift in cheeks and jawline.
• Over time: ongoing collagen remodeling—stronger elasticity and firmer skin over several weeks.
• Longevity: results can endure for months (or longer with maintenance), and some studies suggest continued improvement up to 12–19 months.

🔹 Is there any downtime or side effects?

No downtime—most experience mild redness or warmth that resolves within a few hours. Redness and swelling may occur but are short-lived.

🔹 What should I do after treatment?

• No cold packs or cold water the same night.
• It’s fine to apply SPF and makeup immediately.

• Safe for all skin types and tones.
  Contraindications: pregnancy, pacemakers, recent fillers/Botox, active infections, certain skin conditions.

🔹 Can Forma cause facial fat loss?

Forma specifically targets collagen tightening and does not destroy fat. Some RF fat-reduction treatments exist (e.g. InMode FX), but Forma doesn’t reduce facial fat.

🔹 Do results vary?

Yes. Most clients report noticeable brightness and improved texture, while deeper skin laxity may require additional or combined treatments (e.g. Sculptra, Morpheus8).
