About Forma
Why patients choose LIV
- Best for
- Cheeks, jawline, neck
- Results
- Visible glow straight away
- Long term
- Continues to build collagen
- Downtime
- None
Forma uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. That heat encourages collagen production and helps improve laxity, so skin can look firmer and more defined across a series of treatments.
Forma is a comfortable option for early laxity in the cheeks, jawline and neck, and a useful maintenance step between more intensive treatments like Sofwave or Morpheus8. Sangini will tell you where it fits in your plan, and whether you need it at all.
Good for
- Early laxity in the cheeks and jawline
- Mild loosening at the neck
- Fine lines
- Maintaining collagen between other treatments
- A glow before an event
How it works
InMode Forma
Warm, comfortable radiofrequency to firm and define.
Forma is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and improve skin laxity, with no surgery, scars or downtime.
- Tightening and lifting: for the face, neck and body, with many patients noticing more defined cheekbones and jawline
- Elasticity: helps reduce the look of wrinkles and sagging
Used regularly, Forma helps delay the natural aging process and continues to build collagen over time.
Your appointment
What to expect
- 01
Consultation
We assess skin laxity and decide whether Forma alone or as part of a layered plan makes sense.
- 02
Treatment
A warm handpiece glides over the skin. Most people find it relaxing, and we monitor skin temperature throughout.
- 03
Back to your day
Skin may look slightly flushed and glowy afterward. You can return to normal activities right away.
- 04
Series
Forma works best as a series, followed by maintenance to keep building collagen.
Downtime
None: you may look a little flushed for an hour or so, then you can go straight back to your day.
Results
Many patients notice a glow straight away, while firmness typically builds over a series of sessions and is maintained with periodic treatments.
Consultation
$150, fully credited toward any services booked.
Reviews
In their words
★★★★★
“She recommended Sofwave to help address skin laxity and lift, along with Morpheus 8 to improve texture and firmness, and Laser Genesis to enhance overall tone and glow. Each treatment was thoughtfully explained, and I felt confident and cared for every step of the way.”
★★★★★
“Laura M just did my Sofwave and my skin feels lifted and bouncy! I felt safe in her hands!”
Does Forma hurt?
Most patients find Forma comfortable. It feels warm, and the treatment is adjusted to keep you at ease.
How is Forma different from Sofwave?
Both use heat to build collagen. Sofwave uses focused ultrasound over fewer sessions, while Forma uses gentler radiofrequency across a series and works well for maintenance.
How many Forma treatments will I need?
Most people benefit from a series, then occasional maintenance. We tailor the number to your skin.
How much is Forma?
It depends on the areas and number of sessions in your plan, which we confirm at consultation. The $150 consultation fee for new consultations is fully credited toward services booked.
