Forma Radio Frequency
Radiofrequency has long been used as a non-invasive solution to treat skin laxity. Our InMode Forma facial device provides deep thermal stimulation and promotes natural skin regeneration through new collagen and elastin production, resulting in a long-term lifting and tightening effect without downtime.
what is a Forma skin tightening facial?
Forma is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses both heat and radio-frequency to increase collagen production. Ultimately, this contours and lifts the skin while reducing wrinkles.
Commonly targeted areas include the forehead, around the eyes, jowls, smile lines, and the neck, with no pain, no downtime, and no risk of ‘hot spots’. Think of it like a hot stone massage for the face.
Over a number of treatment sessions, your skin will be stimulated to produce new collagen/elastin, resulting in a long-term lifting and tightening effect.
How can you get better results from your treatments? Try layering. When you combine skin therapies like Forma and a Hydrafacial treatment in a single session, your skin gets the whole package of gentle exfoliation and tightening for a fantastic anti-ageing skin glow-up.
If you want to improve your skin tone, even out your complexion, and gain a more revitalised glow, speak with our team to learn more about all the benefits of adding a Hydrafacial to your favourite facial treatments.
How does Forma work?
Forma treatment involves a thorough cleaning of the skin, and glide-gel will be applied to the target areas. We’ll start by applying gentle heat to warm the skin to the required temperature (around 42 degrees) and then move the probe across the face to target deeper layers. At times, the treatment may feel a tad tingly, but not painful (like a hot stone massage).
Is Forma suitable for my skin type?
Forma is suitable for all skin types, designed for individuals seeking a non-invasive and naturally appearing approach to improvements in laxity and tonal and textural irregularities. Our patients say that their complexion feels ‘smoother and more defined’, with a ‘visible reduction in wrinkles’.
What can Forma treat?
Forma can be used to tighten and rejuvenate the skin on both the face and body. Commonly treated areas are the forehead, crow’s feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines, and the neck. On the body, popular treatment zones are the arms (bat wings), abdomen, and knees.
Is Forma considered a painful treatment?
Forma is a painless process without downtime, due to precise technology and deep-layer targeting of the skin. A little redness is common post-procedure, which should subside within a few hours.
How many treatments are recommended?
You typically need a series of 3 – 8 weekly Forma treatment sessions for optimal results, followed by monthly or bi-monthly maintenance treatments to sustain the benefits. The exact number of sessions needed varies depending on the area being treated, your skin’s initial condition, and the severity of skin laxity or concerns, requiring a personalised consultation for a precise plan.
Does Forma work with other treatments?
Yes, Forma can be used in combination with many of our laser therapies, facials, injectables, and dermal fillers, depending on your goals, requiring a personalised consultation for a precise plan.

Ageing Skin
Forma is a cutting-edge skin tightening treatment that uses advanced radio frequency energy to stimulate new collagen production and contract the deep dermal layers. This tightens and smooths the skin to give you long-lasting results. Sometimes referred to as a ‘scalpel-free facelift’, Forma is ideal if you have moderate loose skin, especially around your jawline and neck.
Skin Laxity
This is an ideal treatment option if you have loose, ageing skin on your face or neck. It can improve your skin tone and texture, tighten and lift to give your features more definition and rejuvenate your appearance. Forma is a fantastic treatment to have before dermal fillers or anti-wrinkle Botox® injections.
Wrinkles
Forma uses Smart RFTM technology to keep the temperature within a precise range. It reads your skin surface temperature a staggering 1,000 times per second and cuts off the heat at the optimum temperature to protect your skin. As new collagen forms in the days and weeks after your treatment, you will notice that your skin becomes tighter, smoother and with fewer wrinkles.
Dull Skin
Hydrafacial can be combined with Forma to deeply cleanse the skin and provide an instant glow that you can see and feel after each treatment, removing dead skin cells, extracting impurities and leaving the skin plump with peptides, antioxidants and new collagen production.

Before any skin treatment, a consultation is essential. This dedicated time allows for an in-depth conversation around your desired results, an assessment of your skin, and a tailored recommendation on the most suitable method for your skin type and lifestyle.
A skin scan is carried out to ensure we deeply analyse your complexion, and everything from maintenance to aftercare is discussed in detail. It’s a considered, personalised approach that ensures results are not only beautiful, but lasting.
We take a fully refundable deposit of £50 for all our consultations. Your deposit can be refunded in the clinic or redeemed against our treatments or products purchased after the consultation.
