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.

How It Works

How Does InMode Forma Work?

A step-by-step guide to how Inmode Forma RF Skin Tightening works in Singapore

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers
What is Restylane® Kysse

Dubbed as the gold standard of lip fillers, Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that’s designed specifically for our lips. Using XpresHAn™ Technology, it provides flexible movement and natural-looking volume while enhancing the texture and colour of the lips.

Benefits of Restylane Kesse
  • Luscious, plumped lips

  • Soft, natural-looking results

  • Smooths lip lines and wrinkles

  • Enhances the colour of your lips

  • Allows for flexible lip movements

  • More defined, volumized, and youthful lips

  • Longer-lasting results as compared to other lip fillers

  • Immediate results with zero downtime

What to Expect

Step 1

All Restylane® Kysse fillers come with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to ensure that your treatment is relaxing and entirely comfortable. Initially, a topical anesthetic will be applied on the injection site to numb the area.

Step 2

Our aesthetic doctor will begin the procedure with the first injection using an ultra-fine needle, before taking a pause to allow the lidocaine in Restylane® Kysse to further numb the lip area.

Step 3

The procedure then continues until the treated area shows the desired results. Thereafter, the injected area will be massaged to ensure that the filler gel is distributed evenly across the lips for natural results.

Are there any before and after photos of Restylane® Kysse results?

As dictated by Ministry of Health, we are not allowed to publish ‘before’ and ‘after’ images of aesthetic treatments. If you are interested in seeing the full before-and-after results please provide us with your name and email below, and we will send the images to your email address.

Restylane Kysse Frequently Asked Questions
Am I an ideal candidate for Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers?

Patients should not use Kysse lip filler if they:

  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions.

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers.

  • Are allergic to anesthetics, like lidocaine.

While both of these are hyaluronic acid lip fillers, they have slightly different formulas. Restylane® Kysse adds volume and enhances your existing lip shape and symmetry to create smooth, natural-looking lips. It can also treat smoker’s lines, or commonly known as wrinkles around the mouth.

Juvederm, on the other hand, is a great option for patients who are looking for a more voluminous look. When deciding on which lip filler, it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Due to the different formulations, Restylane® Kysse has a unique structure that lasts longer than other fillers. Most dermal lip fillers last around 9 months, however you can expect results lasting up to 12 months with Restylane® Kysse.

The discomfort experienced during the treatment varies from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Sensitivity of the patient

  • Pain tolerance of the patient

  • Anxiety level of the patient

Restylane® Kysse comes with anesthetic inside the gel already, hence discomfort is at its minimum.

All lip fillers have some mild side effects. You may experience some slight swelling and bruising on the injected area, but these should go away within 7 days.

  • As with other lip fillers treatment, a cold compress may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid touching the injected area for at least 6 hours so that you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. Thereafter, the treatment area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Minimise strenuous exercise and exposure to excess heat, sun, or UV rays for the first 24 hours. Exposure to these may cause temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the treated area.

Full aftercare instructions will also be provided after the treatment.

Acne

A commonly overlooked yet physically and psychologically scarring problem, acne is a long-drawn problem that commences at puberty and can drag on well into one’s 20s to 30s. Adult-onset acne is also common, commencing in one’s 20s to 30s and dragging on well beyond that. Caused mainly by accumulation of dead skin, bacterial infection and uncontrolled inflammation, acne is a rather well understood medical condition. Hormonal influences, genetic factors, and even proposed dietary influences are known to be the underlying drivers of acne in some too. Early intervention is the best solution – less acne translates to less scarring, saving you precious time and finances required in attempting to resurface those pesky scars later on.

Acne Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels consist of mild acids that, when applied to skin, promote controlled exfoliation of skin as well as inactivation of the sebaceous units responsible for breakouts.

Used as a complimentary form of treatment to existing topical therapy, chemical peels can quickly and effectively control most forms of acne.

3-5 sessions are typically required at 2 weekly intervals to bring acne under control, with subsequent sessions done every 4-6 weeks for maintenance.

Find out more about Chemical Peels

Carbon Peel

Using a specialised laser and a black carbon-based ink on the face, sebaceous glands can be targeted, bacteria killed, and mild exfoliation performed.

Sessions done at 2-4 weekly intervals can help keep acne bay while also helping to lighten any post-inflammatory pigmentation left by the acne and even reduce pore size.

AGNES

For the larger, stubborn and recurrent acne, the use of a highly selective probe to deliver high radio-frequency energy into the sebaceous unit effectively and permanently inactivates the gland.

This more permanent solution to acne allows for effective management of recurrent acne without having to resort to oral medication such as oral isotretinoin.

Tattoo Removal
Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Newer methods of treatment are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Existing therapies involve the use of nano-second Q-switched lasers, but treatments prove difficult with many requiring 2-3 years of repeated visits at 2-3 monthly intervals. Newer methods of treatment involve the use of newly developed pico-second lasers. These lasers, firing many times faster than conventional Q switched lasers, fracture pigments more effectively. In effect, treatments are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Here at The Aesthetic Studio, we employ the use of the Lutronic Picoplus Pico-second laser for optimal tattoo removal; with 4 wavelengths of light at your disposal, removal of tattoos of varying colour and complexity just got easier.

Tattoo Removal Treatment

With a high energy output, a wide range of precisely controllable fluence output and four wavelengths of light for increased versatility, the Picoplus Pico-second laser is optimised for tattoo removal and pigment management. 

Depending on tattoo complexity, 5-10 sessions may be required at monthly intervals for optimal clearance.

Combination with ablative lasers may be advised to reduce post-laser blistering commonly associated with tattoo removal.
