Body and face rejuvenation can also be achieved with Forma, a non-invasive skin treatment in Chicago. This treatment involves monitoring the temperature on the skin in real time with a specific built-in laser. This machine uses a top down approach, from the skin down to the subcutaneous tissues, using bulk heating to contract the tissues.
This method helps generate new collagen and improves elasticity, which are important components for skin maintenance. It is important to keep in mind these are not liposuction-style results, as the temperature will be directed towards collagen formation and tightening.
Forma is an amazing option if you want to improve lax tissues where surgical alternatives are not recommended.

What is Forma?
Forma is a non-invasive, cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment that utilizes radiofrequency technology to tighten and tone the skin. It is a popular choice for individuals seeking non-surgical solutions to improve the appearance of their skin.
How does Forma work?
Forma works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy to the skin’s underlying layers. This energy heats the tissues, stimulating collagen production, which ultimately tightens and firms the skin, reduces wrinkles, and improves texture.
What areas of the body can be treated with Forma?
Forma can be used to treat various areas, including the face, neck, arms, abdomen, and thighs. It’s a versatile treatment that can target specific concerns in these areas.
Is Forma suitable for all skin types?
Forma is generally safe and effective for all skin types. It’s important to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on your unique needs.
How long does a Forma treatment session take?
The duration of a Forma treatment session varies depending on the area being treated, but most sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes. The treatment is relatively quick and requires no downtime.
Is Forma painful?
Forma is not typically painful. Patients may feel a warm sensation as the radiofrequency energy is delivered to the skin, but it is generally well-tolerated. Topical anesthesia may be applied if necessary to enhance comfort.
How many Forma sessions are needed for optimal results?
The number of sessions required varies from person to person, depending on individual goals and the condition of the skin. Typically, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for best results.
Are there any side effects associated with Forma treatments?
Forma is a low-risk procedure with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary redness or mild swelling in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days.
When can I expect to see results from Forma?
Some patients notice immediate skin tightening effects, but the full benefits of Forma become more apparent as collagen production increases over the following weeks. Final results are typically seen a few months after the last session.
Is Forma a replacement for surgical facelifts?
Forma is a non-surgical alternative to facelifts and can provide excellent results in terms of skin tightening and rejuvenation. However, it may not be a suitable replacement for surgical facelifts in cases of severe sagging and excess skin. A consultation with a skilled practitioner can help determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
