Forma RF is continuous radiofrequency skin tightening — no needles, no downtime, no discomfort. Just sustained warmth that tells your dermis to produce collagen. Over a series of sessions, your skin becomes measurably firmer, tighter, and more luminous.
Forma RF is the only collagen-building treatment you can do on a Tuesday, then walk back into your office looking like you just had a facial. No redness. No swelling. No explaining anything to anyone.
That’s not a compromise — it’s by design. Forma works at the surface of the dermis with sustained, calibrated heat rather than aggressive tissue injury. The result is a gentler, progressive collagen stimulus that compounds over a series of sessions.
See the Collagen Bank Account™ Program →Forma leaves no redness, no marks, and no swelling. You can apply makeup immediately and return to full activity the same day.
The handpiece glides continuously across the skin at a warm, deeply soothing temperature. Patients commonly fall asleep during treatment.
Each session builds on the last. By session 6–8, the cumulative collagen stimulus produces visible tightening and improved skin quality.
Unlike laser treatments, Forma’s RF energy is colour-blind. It works identically and safely across all Fitzpatrick skin types.
The Forma handpiece emits a precise radiofrequency current through the skin surface, resistively heating the dermis to a therapeutic temperature of 40–43°C. At this temperature, two things happen simultaneously.
Existing collagen fibers contract and tighten immediately. And the controlled thermal stimulus triggers fibroblast activity — the body’s collagen-producing cells begin synthesizing new collagen to replace what the heat gently disrupted.
Morpheus8 delivers RF energy deep into the dermis via microneedles — more powerful, requires downtime. Forma delivers RF across the surface — gentler, zero downtime. They are complementary, not competing. Many patients do both within the same program.
A conductive gel is applied to the treatment area. No numbing needed — Forma is comfortable without preparation.
The Forma handpiece glides in continuous circular motions across the face, neck, or jowl area. The temperature is monitored in real time and maintained in the therapeutic range.
The dermal heating triggers fibroblasts to produce new collagen. This process continues in the days following each session.
Each session adds to the collagen stimulus from the last. By sessions 6–8, patients see measurable tightening, improved texture, and a lifted appearance.
After an initial series, monthly or bimonthly maintenance sessions sustain and extend results. Many patients build Forma into their regular skincare routine.
Both are InMode RF technologies. Both stimulate collagen. They work differently, at different depths, and are highly complementary. Here’s how to understand which fits where in your program.
Best for: Zero-downtime collagen maintenance, prejuvenation program, between Morpheus8 sessions, patients who cannot take any downtime.
Best for: Significant laxity, deeper remodeling, contour improvement, patients who want maximum collagen stimulus and can take brief downtime.
Forma RF is available as a standalone treatment and as a core component of the Collagen Bank Account™ Prejuvenation Program. Package pricing provides the best value for patients committed to a full series.
All Forma treatments at SNA Aesthetics are performed by Dr. Anna personally. The difference between Forma in the right hands and the wrong hands is the difference between a therapeutic dose and a pleasant but ineffective warm facial.
45–60 minute session. Ideal for maintenance or to complement Morpheus8.
Recommended for optimal collagen stimulation. Sessions weekly or biweekly.
Deep remodeling with Morpheus8 paired with surface tightening from Forma. Maximum collagen protocol.
Some patients notice subtle improvement after their first session — a slight lift and improved glow. Meaningful visible results typically begin around session 3–4 and continue developing through the full series. The collagen stimulus continues building in the weeks following each session, so the results you see at the end of a series are not the peak — they keep improving for another 2–3 months.
Dr. Anna typically recommends weekly or biweekly sessions for the initial series of 6–8. After completing the series, monthly or bimonthly maintenance sessions sustain the collagen stimulus and extend results. Some patients in Dr. Anna’s Prejuvenation Program schedule Forma monthly as part of their ongoing collagen health routine.
Yes. Forma is highly compatible with neurotoxins and can typically be done the same day as Botox. For fillers, Dr. Anna recommends waiting 2 weeks after filler placement before doing Forma over the same area. Forma is a regular component of Dr. Anna’s Full Face Rejuvenation programs alongside fillers and neurotoxins.
Absolutely. Forma is the cornerstone prejuvenation treatment for younger patients precisely because it requires no downtime, has no recovery, and builds collagen before significant loss occurs. Patients in their 20s and 30s who begin a Forma series are investing in collagen reserves they’ll draw on for decades. See our Prejuvenation Program page for the full framework.
Dr. Anna will assess your skin, explain exactly what Forma can do for your specific anatomy, and design a protocol — with full pricing — before you commit to anything.
