Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
Forma
InMode Forma is an advanced, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve skin firmness, texture and contour. Often referred to as a “no-needle facelift”, Forma is designed to deliver natural-looking tightening by gently heating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production – the key proteins responsible for youthful, plump, resilient skin.
Forma is a popular choice for patients wanting a refreshed, more lifted appearance without surgery, downtime or discomfort. Treatments are safe, controlled and comfortable, with patients often describing the sensation as a warm facial massage.
In addition to improving the appearance of ageing skin, Forma is also widely used as part of a post-operative recovery plan, as it may assist with skin firmness, tissue quality and overall contour refinement following certain plastic surgery procedures (where appropriate and cleared by your surgeon).
Forma uses bipolar radiofrequency technology combined with real-time temperature monitoring to create a controlled thermal effect within the dermis (the collagen-rich layer beneath the surface of the skin).
As the skin is heated, Forma triggers:
- Collagen remodelling (tightening existing collagen fibres)
- Neocollagenesis (stimulating new collagen production)
- Improved elastin production
- Increased circulation and lymphatic drainage
- Smoother skin texture and refined pore appearance
What makes Forma different from basic RF facials is its built-in temperature sensor, which ensures the skin is maintained within the optimal therapeutic range – meaning results are consistent, safe and effective, with minimal risk.
Forma Treatment
Your Treatment Journey
Your Forma Facial journey begins with a personalised consultation where your clinician assesses your skin concerns, areas of laxity and overall goals to tailor the treatment specifically to you. During the facial, gentle radiofrequency energy is delivered to warm the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother and more lifted-looking skin – all while feeling like a relaxing warm massage. For optimal results, most patients achieve best outcomes with a course of 6–8 sessions, performed weekly or fortnightly depending on the area and your individual skin needs. You may notice an immediate glow and subtle tightening after each session, with progressive improvement as collagen continues to rebuild over time.
To maintain long-term results, maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 2–3 months, or as advised by your clinician as part of your ongoing skin health plan.
