How many treatments will I need?
Does a Forma treatment hurt?
What is the downtime for Forma treatments?
How soon will I see results after my Forma treatment?
Following your treatment, you can expect your skin to be red due to the heat exposure, but it will subside within an hour. Your skin will also feel tighter and you may experience mild swelling.
You may begin to see results directly after your first treatment depending on the area treated. Results will improve over time as your skin elasticity strengthens and as more collagen production takes place.
How much do Forma treatments cost in Chicago?
How do I prepare for my Forma treatment?
To prepare for your treatment, avoid skin irritation such as direct sun exposure, sunbathing, or tanning, as this can increase heat sensitivity. Additionally, you should:
- Stop using irritant topical products 2–3 days before your treatment (including retinol and tretinoin).
- Arrive with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, perfume, jewelry, or other products on the treated area.
- If you have a pacemaker or metal near the treatment area, you are not a candidate for this procedure.
