InMode Forma
Rf (radiofrequency) skin tightening treatment that lifts and firms the face while supporting long-term collagen renewal
Introduction
What Is InMode Forma?
InMode Forma is a non-invasive RF (radiofrequency) skin tightening treatment designed to improve skin firmness, refine facial contours, and support long-term collagen renewal with no downtime.
Using controlled radiofrequency energy, Forma delivers uniform heat to the deeper layers of the skin, gently stimulating collagen production and enhancing the skin’s structural support over time.
Unlike more aggressive lifting treatments, Forma is often used for patients with early signs of skin laxity or those looking to maintain skin quality and definition in a gradual, natural-looking way.
The treatment is comfortable, precise, and suitable for delicate areas of the face such as the cheeks, jawline, and under-eye region, where subtle tightening and contour refinement can make a noticeable difference.
Benefits
What Are the Benefits of Inmode Forma?
As a radiofrequency-based skin tightening treatment, InMode Forma targets the underlying layers of the skin to improve structural support, elasticity, and overall tissue quality. It is particularly suited for individuals experiencing gradual softening of facial definition, where progressive refinement is preferred over more aggressive interventions.
KEY BENEFITS:
Lifts and firms early skin laxity: targets mild skin laxity and enhances overall skin firmness.
Refines jawline and facial contours: helps improve early jowls and restore definition to the lower face.
Stimulates collagen production: RF (radiofrequency) energy supports long-term collagen renewal and skin elasticity.
Smooths fine lines and skin texture: reduces early wrinkles and improves overall skin quality.
Enhances skin elasticity and resilience: supports stronger, more resilient skin structure over time.
What It Treats
What Concerns Does InMode Forma Treat?
InMode Forma is designed to address early, gradual changes in the skin where firmness, elasticity, and facial definition begin to decline. It is most effective for mild skin laxity and subtle structural changes, making it ideal for preventative and maintenance-focused treatment.
Mild Skin Laxity & Early Sagging
InMode Forma helps improve mild skin laxity by delivering controlled RF energy to areas such as the cheeks and lower face, where early sagging typically begins to develop over time.
Jawline Definition & Early Jowls
It supports areas along the jawline and lower face by improving subtle softening and early jowling, helping to restore clearer facial definition and contour.
Fine Lines & Reduced Skin Elasticity
Forma targets early fine lines by stimulating collagen activity within the skin, improving elasticity and helping the skin appear smoother and more resilient.
Loss of Facial Contour & Structure
It enhances facial contours in areas where definition has softened, such as the mid-face and lower face, supporting a more refined and structured appearance.
How It Works
How Does InMode Forma Work?
Step 1: Controlled RF Energy Delivery
A specialised handpiece delivers radiofrequency energy evenly across the skin, allowing precise and consistent heating of targeted areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and lower face.
Step 2: Dermal Heating and Tissue Response
The RF energy gently raises the temperature within the dermis, creating a controlled thermal effect that activates the skin’s natural repair processes without damaging the surface.
Step 3: Collagen Stimulation and Remodelling
This process stimulates fibroblast activity and encourages collagen production, leading to gradual improvements in skin elasticity, firmness, and overall facial contour over a series of treatments.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About InMode Forma
Is InMode Forma painful?
InMode Forma is generally well-tolerated and often described as a warm, comfortable sensation on the skin. The device maintains a consistent therapeutic temperature during treatment, which helps maximise effectiveness while keeping the experience comfortable. Most patients do not require numbing and are able to relax throughout the session.
Does InMode Forma really tighten the skin?
InMode Forma can help improve skin firmness by stimulating collagen production and enhancing the structural support of the skin. While it does not produce the same level of lifting as surgical procedures or more intensive energy-based treatments, it is effective for mild skin laxity and early signs of sagging.
Results are typically gradual and improve over a series of treatments, making it well-suited for maintenance and prevention.
How many sessions of InMode Forma is needed?
Most patients typically require 4 to 6 sessions, ideally performed every 1-2 weeks, to achieve optimal results. This is because collagen stimulation is gradual and builds over time with repeated treatments. The exact number of sessions depends on the degree of skin laxity and individual treatment goals.
Is InMode Forma suitable if I already have noticeable sagging?
For individuals with more advanced skin laxity, this treatment alone may not provide sufficient lifting. In such cases, it is often combined with other treatments that target deeper structural support or volume loss.
These may include:
- HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound): targets deeper structural layers for more significant lifting
- Biostimulators (e.g. collagen-stimulating injectables): help restore structural density and improve skin quality over time
By combining treatments, it is possible to address both skin quality and underlying structural changes, resulting in a more balanced and natural-looking outcome.
How much does InMode Forma cost in Singapore?
The cost varies depending on the treatment area, number of sessions required, and overall treatment plan. Because multiple sessions are typically needed, pricing is usually discussed as part of a personalised consultation to ensure an appropriate treatment approach.
What is the difference between InMode Forma and HIFU?
The main difference lies in the depth and mechanism of treatment.
InMode Forma uses RF (radiofrequency) energy to deliver controlled heating within the dermis, focusing on improving skin quality and mild tightening.
HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound) on the other hand, uses ultrasound energy to target deeper structural layers, producing more significant lifting effects.
Forma is typically suited for mild skin laxity and ongoing maintenance, while HIFU is often used for individuals with more advanced sagging who require deeper lifting.
What is the difference between InMode Forma and Ultherapy?
Both treatments are non-invasive but use different technologies.
InMode Forma uses RF (radiofrequency) energy to heat the dermis and improve skin firmness gradually, while Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to reach deeper layers for lifting.
Ultherapy is generally used for more noticeable lifting, whereas Forma is better suited for maintaining skin quality and addressing early signs of ageing.
