Forma RF or any other radiofrequency recommended?

Question

Can anyone tell me if they have tried Forma RF? I would like non surgical skin tightening and collagen boosting but don't have the pain threshold for Thermage or lasers. thanks

There are several different radio frequency devices that can be used to produce some skin tightening.  I am most familiar with Fractora RF, but there are others that work also.  An examination would be needed to determine if you might be a good candidate for a radio frequency treatment.  There are different methods that can be used for pain control during the procedure.

Hi there, thank you for your question.If you have a low pain threshold then I would definitely recommend Forma. It feels like a hot stone facial massage. Absolutely zero pain. However, depending on age, skin laxity, volume loss, or other extenuating circumstances you may need a series of 6-12 (or more) weekly treatments to see lasting results. I would advise that you consult with an experienced practitioner to discuss your concerns and get a better idea of what your treatment plan would require in order to get the results you want. Best of luck!

Forma&trade; technology is the superior choice for the treatment of wrinkles. Forma&trade; stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves the skin’s elasticity for long-lasting and remarkable results.
The radio-frequency current flows between the electrodes to provide a comfortable thermal experience, without concerns of hot spots or under treatment. Built-in temperature controls allow for the attainment of clinically proven optimal epidermal temperatures.
In addition, Forma&trade; has the exclusive capacity for prolonged exposure at therapeutic temperatures, which can be reached quickly and uniformly.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 the best way to increase collagen production and it has little or no downtime
For most patients there is little to no pain and you notice an immediate change and an improved appearance over the next 2-4 months as your body stimulates more collagen production
You need about 6 sessions as close as 1 week apart per year
