Does Forma cause fat loss on face?

Question

I’m 53 and weigh 110lb . I’m going to be getting Forma face tightening , but I’ve read reviews of women loosing fat loss, volume loss. This is scaring me off a little when it sounds like it does the opposite on some women. Any advice would be great.

Hello there, thank you for your question. Forma should not cause any fat or volume loss, in fact, with a series of treatments you can expect an increase in neocollagenesis (collagen repair/new collagen production), which leads to a more plumped/tightened appearance of the skin. But I would still recommend discussing your concerns with an experienced practitioner prior to having the treatments. Best of luck!

That is not true. Fractora Firm&trade; - Forma&trade; is suitable for all skin types and is appropriate for individuals seeking a non-invasive and natural looking approach to improvements in skin tone and texture irregularities. Patients have reported that their skin feels smoother and more defined with less wrinkles.

Forma is a non-invasive, thermal radio frequency treatment that targets fine lines and wrinkles, as well as loose skin. It uses radio frequency heat to stimulate the formation of new collagen in order to improve the elasticity of the skin. Fat loss can occur only when the radio frequency heat is set to a specific temperature. For this reason, if done properly and under the correct settings, Forma will not cause fat or volume loss.
