InMode
Controlled deep heating that softens fine lines and lifts gradually, with no downtime at all.
What it is
Forma applies radiofrequency energy through a handpiece that continuously measures skin temperature and adjusts itself hundreds of times a second. That feedback loop is what makes it unusual: it holds the deeper layers of skin in the narrow temperature band where collagen contracts and new collagen production is triggered, without ever overheating the surface.
The sensation is a warm massage. There is no downtime, no peeling and no visible sign you have had anything done — which makes it the treatment we most often recommend to people who want a gradual change rather than an obvious one. Its strengths are fine lines, plumping and lifting. It will not do a great deal for deep, set wrinkles, and it is not the answer for heavy or hooded eyelids — Morpheus8 or Plexr Plus are the options there.
Forma and Forma I are two different handpieces. Forma I is the one we use around the lids for dry eye; Forma is the larger handpiece used for the face and neck. Same platform, different jobs.
What to expect
We assess skin laxity and set expectations. Forma is gradual — it is the wrong treatment if you want a dramatic single-session change, or if deep wrinkles are the main concern.
A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area. Nothing else is needed.
Twenty to forty minutes of what most people describe as a hot stone massage. You can drive yourself home and go straight back to work.
Mild warmth and pinkness for an hour or so. Makeup the same day is fine.
Typically six sessions spaced a week apart, then maintenance every few months. Results build across the course and for weeks after it.
Pricing
Per treatment. Multiple areas can be combined in one appointment.
Questions
None. This is the treatment to choose if you would rather no one could tell you have had anything done.
Not really. Forma softens and lifts, but it does not remove excess lid skin. For hooding, Plexr Plus or Morpheus8 are the treatments to look at — sometimes both.
Forma works best on fine lines and general firmness. Deeply set wrinkles need something that remodels more aggressively, such as Morpheus8.
They are frequently part of the same plan, but never on the same day. We space the two out and sequence them for you.
Most people maintain results with a session every three to six months. Aging continues; Forma slows how it shows.
