Forma Plus® is a safe and non-invasive treatment that is cleared by the FDA for use in skin tightening and body contouring. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks and potential side effects associated with the treatment. It is important to consult with a licensed provider to discuss your individual health history and any concerns you may have about the safety of the treatment.
Forma Plus® treatment is generally comfortable and well-tolerated by most patients. The treatment uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the skin, which may cause a warm, tingling sensation. However, the intensity of the sensation can be adjusted to ensure maximum comfort during the treatment.
There is no downtime required after Forma Plus® treatment. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, some patients may experience mild redness or swelling in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours to a few days.
The number of Forma Plus® treatments needed can vary depending on the individual’s skin type and the severity of the concerns being treated. In general, most patients require a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
A single Forma Plus® treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the size and location of the treatment area.
Patients may begin to see some improvement in the appearance of their skin immediately after the treatment. However, it can take several weeks to months to see the full results of the treatment as the collagen remodeling process continues.
The results of Forma Plus® treatment can vary depending on the individual’s skin type, age, and lifestyle habits. However, in general, the results can last up to 2 years or more with proper skincare maintenance.
