Noninvasive Skin-Tightening Technology
Forma is a skin-tightening technology at The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics that relies on thermal heat produced by radiofrequency energy.
The procedure is completely noninvasive, so there are no incisions or scarring. Because tissue trauma is minimal, Forma requires no downtime or recovery, placing it in the category of “lunchtime” treatments.
About
Forma is a state-of-the-art skin-tightening treatment designed to rejuvenate and firm your skin using radiofrequency technology. At The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics, Forma targets the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting a natural, youthful appearance.
Forma skin treatment is highly effective for skin tightening around the face, nasolabial folds, jowls, neck, and knees. If you have areas with a dimpled appearance, Dr. Baker may recommend a Forma cellulite treatment.
Using precise radiofrequency energy, Forma heats the underlying skin tissues, which encourages the production of new collagen fibers. This non-invasive procedure helps to improve skin elasticity, reduce sagging, and create a smoother, tighter look.
Forma is ideal for treating various areas of the body, including the face, neck, and arms, offering a non-surgical solution to skin tightening and rejuvenation.
