What RF device is better to tighten skin and decrease facial sagging around the jawline and mouth? How are they different? Are they equally safe and effective? Thank you

Answer: ThermiSmooth or Forma? I have both devices, and there are different indications for each. I find Forma to be very effective for collagen rebuilding, especially when soft tissue laxity is prominent. ThermiSmooth has a small tip that is good for treatment around the eye region. Neither device actually melts fat; I've done biopsies with scanning electron microscopy histology to look at this. The collagen building is strong, though. For ease of use, I prefer the Forma, as there is no grounding pad and it is bipolar, so the energy is more diffuse.
