Are you thinking of treating your skin to a little rejuvenation? Imagine getting tightening, smoothing results without surgery or injectables. The treatment that can give you those benefits is Forma, a state-of-the-art method that uses radiofrequency to stimulate your body’s natural ability to renew itself. At Veda Medical in Live Oak, TX, we recommend this treatment to anyone who wants to refresh their look with a safe, straightforward treatment.

The Facts on Forma

What Is Forma?

Forma treatment is a fast, gentle way to address the signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and skin that has lost its firmness. By harnessing the power of radiofrequency and thermal energy, it makes amazing results possible without any invasive procedure necessary.

What Other Areas Can Receive This Treatment?

Wherever you have stretch marks, sagging skin, wrinkles, lines, or loss of volume, this treatment can help. Some popular applications include:

• Treatment of bat wings under the arms

• Use on rough elbows

How This Treatment Works

It Uses a Sophisticated, High-Tech Approach

What is the secret to achieving substantial improvements without surgery or needles? The answer is in technology. Forma plastic surgery treatment heats up the skin with radiofrequency, which allows it to stimulate healing within the deep layers.

It Stimulates Collagen to Rejuvenate Your Tissue

As we get older, several things happen that make our skin look different. One of the biggest changes is that we start producing less and less collagen. Collagen is a protein responsible for the structure and renewal of cells. It comes into play when your skin is injured, when it comes into contact with UV rays, and whenever it is in need of healing. Collagen is the reason why young people do not develop fine lines or wrinkles.

In our 20s or 30s, our collagen levels drop. When that happens, our skin becomes more susceptible to fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and other issues. In particular, wrinkles occur as a result of the normal facial expressions we make every day. The reason for this is that the movements cause our skin to crease, leaving visible impressions that deepen over time.

The good news is that your body has the ability to produce more collagen and restore the youthful benefits you once enjoyed. It just needs a little encouragement, which is what this treatment provides.

It Firms and Tightens

In addition to losing collagen, many other things happen to your skin over time. These changes include:

• A decrease in natural fillers
• Less elastin
• Less hyaluronic acid
• Reduced access to nutrients through blood flow

As a result of these changes, your skin can become drier and thinner if it is left untreated. Without the structural support it once had, it can start to sag. Forma can counteract all of these processes and restore your skin to better health by stimulating cell turnover. This means that your body will produce newer, healthier cells to replace the old, damaged ones. It also works by tightening the skin, causing loose areas to contract. After this treatment, you will enjoy brighter, more lifted skin.

Everything You Need to Know

How Long Does It Take?

One big advantage to this treatment is that it can be done quickly. You can even schedule it during your lunch break. For the face and most other areas of the body, the total time you will spend from start to finish is about half an hour. If you choose to get treated in multiple areas during the same appointment, you can expect us to spend half an hour on each section.

How Is This Treatment Done?

The radiofrequency is delivered by a hand-held device. There is a smaller piece for the face and a larger one for treating bigger areas of the body. We will apply whichever version you need in smooth, broad strokes that heat up the skin. Sometimes a topical cooling agent is used, but it is not necessary.

What Does Treatment Feel Like?

This treatment delivers heat, but it does so painlessly. Some patients even compare it to a hot stone massage. The device auto-regulates its temperature, ensuring maximum patient comfort throughout the experience. It can also be manually adjusted when we work on more sensitive areas. Overall, your treatment will be pleasant and comfortable.

How Many Times Do I Need to Get Treatment to See Results?

We recommend a series of around five sessions to start. The recommendation could be slightly more or less for you depending on the current condition of your skin. Unlike some treatments, which require a few weeks in between each session, you can schedule your appointments about one week apart. The reason for this is that the radio frequency is extremely gentle, so your skin does not need time to recover afterward.

How Long Do the Results Last?

After your initial series, you could enjoy the results for up to several years: it all depends on your unique skin. Many people continue getting this treatment at less frequent intervals. Doing so can help your skin retain its collagen levels to the greatest extent possible.

Most skincare experts recommend you get one professional treatment every month to supplement your at-home regimen and any products you use regularly. This treatment is a good option for people who want to take this approach.

What Do I Need to Do to Get Ready?

There is nothing really special that you need to do to prepare for this treatment. If you have any specific concerns about the health of your skin, just let us know in advance.

How Old Should I Be to Start This Treatment?

There is no standard age for starting this treatment. It is used to treat an impressive range of ages. Forma patients include people in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s+. Younger people love how it keeps their skin smooth, while people with more advanced concerns love the improvement it offers. So, when should you begin? Whenever you feel you are ready for professional care that will significantly improve the texture and tone of your skin.

Is It Safe?

One of the reasons many patients choose this treatment is because it is so safe and gentle. It is FDA approved and used regularly by thousands. While some treatments are suitable for certain skin types but not others, this method works for all. One of the best safety features is the auto-regulation element that makes sure that the device produces an appropriate level of heat throughout the session.

The Benefits of Forma

It Makes a Noticeable Difference

Are you underwhelmed by the performance of over-the-counter products that claim to treat the signs of aging? The truth is that many topical creams contain a very low percentage of the effective ingredient they advertise. Some deceptively contain things like collagen, which cannot penetrate the skin barrier when it is applied topically. When you put time and money into treatments for your skin, you shouldn’t end up in front of the mirror questioning whether or not they worked.

This treatment will make a true, visual impact on your appearance. It will noticeably tighten, tone, and smooth your skin. Finally, you can have results that you will actually see.

It Treats Multiple Issues

Your body uses collagen in many ways. By stimulating the production of this protein and helping your cells renew themselves, this treatment can target many of the signs of aging all at once. You can use it to address specific issues, such as wrinkles, stretch marks, or areas of loose skin, however, you will also enjoy a general boost in your skin’s brightness and overall texture.

It Is Completely Noninvasive

This treatment has been heralded as the “nonsurgical facelift”. When compared to most surgical procedures, it is more affordable, less involved, and highly effective. You won’t need to plan for a recovery period or take time off of work because there is no downtime and the treatment only takes half an hour from start to finish.

You Can Have It Virtually Anywhere, Anytime

Since this treatment is so gentle and effective, you can use it on almost any area where your skin could use some refreshment. While the results are long-lasting, you can repeat this treatment as often as you like without damaging your skin. In fact, it works by promoting your best health. This means that you can finish a full series in a matter of weeks rather than months.
