Doctors said this would open my eye area to look bigger and brighter, lift my cheeks and make lips look fuller by naturally rebuilding collagen. Dr said all her patients LOVE this procedure; I did not love it, it's very over-priced.
I had 4 FORMA treatments (1 per week).
After first treatment an indented line appeared on the left side of my face. Doctor thought this was odd, it went away the following week. After each treatment my face would become very red and inflamed (doctor said this was very unusual) After 4th treatment my rosacea was so bad that the doctor didn't want to do another Forma treatment (she had previously said I needed 6). Instead of the Forma the doctor said she must do an IPL to soothe my skin. The IPL cost $1000. for face and neck, it did calm my skin but maybe it would have calmed down on its own. The doctor said it would take 6 months for the full affect of FORMA. It has been 3 months now and my face looks the same except now I have an indented line on my right cheek. I would think this will go away with time so I'll post an update in a couple months.
I did notice that Kris Jenner has a similar indented line on her cheek so I wonder if she's had the FORMA laser?? Although, it appears Kris Jenner has cheek fillers which I do not.

That's way to expensive for IPL and you shouldn't have had to pay . They should have known it would exacerbate rosacea. I think you had a bad doctor and a greedy one.

You were way overcharged first of all. And it sounds like your doctor did not know how to use the machine correctly. I've had three treatments and I loved the results. Your doctor should have given you the IPL complimentary because her treatment caused the redness. Not cool. She sounds greedy to me too.

Wait - forma isn't a laser. What exactly did your device look like so we understand which device was used?
