FORMA by INMODE

What is Forma Radiofrequency?

Forma is an advanced radiofrequency (RF) treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to stimulate deep collagen production, improving skin tone, elasticity, and overall texture.

It’s a pain-free, relaxing treatment that feels like a warm facial massage while working beneath the surface to firm and smooth your skin.

At Dr. Jenny Clinic, Forma is part of our advanced skin rejuvenation offering, perfect for those looking to improve skin laxity and contour without injectables or surgery.

How does Forma Radiofrequency work?

Forma delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, gently heating the tissue to activate the skin’s natural repair processes. The device continuously monitors and adjusts skin temperature to maintain optimal safety and effectiveness.

This thermal stimulation encourages collagen remodelling and tissue contraction, leading to:

• Firmer, tighter skin

• Smoother texture

• Gradual lifting and contouring over time

Results are progressive and continue to improve for weeks after the treatment course is completed.

What areas can be treated with Forma Radiofrequency?

Forma is versatile and can be used on various areas of the face and body, including:

• Upper face and undereye area

• Cheeks & nasolabial folds

• Jawline & jowls

• Neck & décolletage

• Abdomen & thighs

This treatment is perfect if you are experiencing:

• Mild to moderate skin laxity (loose or sagging skin)

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Dull or uneven skin texture

• Loss of facial contour definition

• Early signs of aging around the eyes, jawline or neck

It is suitable for all skin types and is a great option for those who want visible results without the commitment of injectables or invasive procedures, or for those wanting a non-invasive skin boost without the downtime.

What to expect from treatment

• You will undergo a full medical consultation before proceeding to determine the most suitable treatment regimen for you

• A facial gel is applied to your skin (think of an ultrasound gel) to allow for gentle gliding of the probe against your skin.

• Each session lasts 45-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

• Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, soothing massage or similar to a relaxing hot stone massage.

• The skin feels warm and remains red for around 20-30 minutes, but there is no associated downtime and makeup and skin care can be used right away as the skin itself is intact.

While most patients undergo a 6-session weekly programme, results may be noticeable sooner and some individuals with milder concerns may need fewer sessions.
