Radiofrequency Skin Tightening has long been used as a non-invasive solution to treat skin laxity. The InMode Forma and FormaPlus devices offer deep thermal stimulation of skin regeneration. Over a number of treatment sessions, the skin will be stimulated to produce new collagen and elastin, resulting in a long-term lifting and tightening effect. This pain-free, no down-time treatment can be performed individually or as an excellent addition to other facial and body contouring treatments.

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening treatment involves a thorough clean of the skin and glide-gel to be applied to the treatment area. The therapist will start by applying gentle heat to warm the area to the required temperature (around 42 degrees Celsius) and will then move the probe to heat sections of the treatment area. At certain times the heat may become slightly uncomfortable, but not painful, and you can feed this back to the therapist.
The face, neck and body can be treated with radiofrequency.
Radiofrequency Skin Tightening is a long-established and effective treatment to achieve a moderate lift of the skin.
In order to achieve optimal results, we recommend 6-8 treatment sessions (1 per week), and then a maintenance course of 1 session per month.
Most patients will see an immediate lift of the skin, straight after treatment. In order to maintain this effect, a course of treatment must be completed.
The initial lift following radiofrequency facials typically lasts for 12-24 hours. If a course of treatment is completed, this lift will be long-term due to the production of new collagen and elastin.
