Forma RF Skin Tightening
Firm Facial Indianapolis, IN
Firm Facial Indianapolis, IN
Your skin simply loses its snap over time. The firm tension you're used to gradually relaxes, leaving you with mild laxity around the jawline and a noticeably heavier lower face. You need to rebuild that tension, and SHarper Plastic Surgery has the tool for the job. Forma by InMode acts like a high-intensity workout for your skin. By delivering focused radiofrequency heat deep into the dermal layer, this FDA-approved skin-tightening treatment forces loose collagen to contract immediately. It wakes up the tissue. Then, it triggers the production of fresh, tight collagen for lasting firmness.
Embrace your best confidence. Our board-certified surgeon and master injector are here to guide you toward an impeccably and authentically youthful appearance with personalized care and advanced solutions. Begin your journey with a consultation, and take the first step to a vibrantly confident future.
We use the Forma skin tightening treatment across multiple areas of the face and body where gravity is taking a toll.
The firmness of your skin relies entirely on active collagen. As the Forma wand glides over your face, it pushes radiofrequency energy deep into the dermal layer. Of note, this is a more superficial treatment and painless compared to Morpheus8, which takes a similar approach to the deeper layers of skin. The skin warms up to an exact, clinically proven temperature.
This sustained heat triggers a dual response. First, the existing collagen fibers physically shrink and tighten, giving you an immediate lift. Next, the thermal stress forces your body to produce massive amounts of new collagen over the following weeks.
Forma delivers a visible lift and tightening. You completely bypass the raw recovery phases associated with ablative laser treatments or deep chemical peels.
Almost everyone is a good candidate for this procedure. If you are noticing mild laxity, early jowling, or loose skin under the chin, this is the ideal intervention. The technology targets the dermis while keeping the surface perfectly safe. This makes it highly effective for all skin types.
Severe sagging skin that physically hangs off the jawline requires a different approach. Significant tissue laxity requires treatments such as Morpheus8 or possibly surgical removal via a facelift. Patients with pacemakers or active skin infections in the treated areas must also avoid RF energy devices.
This treatment is one of our SHarper Society treatments. You will come to the office for your 70-minute treatment. You will be offered a soft robe to wear before relaxing on one of our state-of-the-art tables. Your esthetician will evaluate your skin and start with a dermaplane treatment. The Forma portion begins by applying a clear conductive gel to the treatment areas. We then glide the Forma wand over the skin in smooth, sweeping motions.
The system uses advanced, built-in temperature controls. It constantly reads your skin temperature in real-time. It automatically adjusts the heat settings to ensure you stay in the optimal collagen-stimulating zone.
The entire facial process takes 60 to 70 minutes, and most patients find it incredibly relaxing.
You will have zero physical downtime. Your face will have a flushed, healthy glow from the heat, but your skin remains completely intact with zero scabbing or peeling.
None. You can leave our Indianapolis clinic and immediately return to your normal daily life.
You can apply makeup immediately after we wipe off the conductive gel. You are free to resume your normal workout routine and daily skincare regimen the exact same day.
Keep your skin heavily moisturized. Your body is actively building new collagen, and it's important to keep it hydrated with a high-quality moisturizer and commit to wearing a daily SPF to protect your investment.
You get an immediate, visible lift the same day as your appointment as the existing collagen physically contracts. True structural changes follow later. Your body needs several weeks to build the new collagen that provides lasting firmness. It's a gradual build that your skin will thank you for.
Your results can last up to a month. Forma skin tightening manages the aging process as your body continues to age naturally. You still lose a small amount of collagen every single day, and consistent maintenance appointments simply force your body to outpace that daily loss.
To achieve the best results, we recommend a monthly treatment. Once we rebuild that initial tension, you will require fewer sessions. Most patients transition to a single maintenance session every three to four months to keep their skin tight.
The firm facial cost is $250 per treatment. For SHarper Skin Society members, the cost is $225 per facial.
Traditional ablative lasers physically damage the skin to trigger repair. This requires weeks of downtime. Forma uses smooth RF heat to target deep collagen while keeping the surface completely intact. Forma shrinks tissue. A surgical facelift permanently removes it.
Absolutely. We frequently combine Forma skin tightening with Botox and dermal fillers to address both muscle movement and volume loss. It is also an excellent follow-up to other procedures like Morpheus8 to maintain your results with zero added downtime.
Even non-invasive treatments require a highly trained aesthetic eye. At SHarper Plastic Surgery, we evaluate your facial tension to determine exactly where you need support. We customize the heat passes to your specific anatomy. This ensures your treatment plan delivers the absolute best results possible.
No, it is entirely painless. Most patients compare the sensation to a relaxing hot stone massage.
Yes. Forma is FDA-approved for treating wrinkles and mild laxity across all skin types.
No. The heat settings target the dermal layer specifically to build collagen. The energy stays entirely above the fat layer.
Yes. It causes zero downtime and provides an immediate contraction. This makes it the perfect red carpet treatment to do the day before a wedding or major event.
