Having read that the Forma Facial is a favourite for Britney Spears, I was excited to review this new 45 minute painless facial treatment. I was booked in at Regents Park Aesthetics and was made to feel very welcome by the therapist who immediately put me at ease explaining what the treatment entailed. The treatment room was luxurious and had a wonderful scent, which made me feel like I was in a luxury spa. My face was fully cleansed before the treatment began.
What is Forma?
Created by InMode, the leading global provider of innovative medical technologies, Forma is a non invasive treatment that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy and heat to build collagen and remodel skin and tissue using a subdermal heating applicator. It is suitable for all skin types and is appropriate for individuals seeking a non-invasive and natural looking approach to achieve a younger appearance without surgery, scars or downtime. It lifts, tightens and contours the skin.
How does Forma work?
Forma was developed based on the clinical success of the proprietary A.C.E (Acquire,Control, Extend) technology. A.C.E technology uses radiofrequency energy to target deep layers of the skin, and can be used on both the face and body.
During your treatment, a cooling jelly is applied to the skin (to allow the RF to conduct) and the treatment is delivered using a handpiece (which looks a little like a wand, and is simply glided over the skin.)

What areas can be treated?
Commonly treated areas on the face include: forehead, crows feet, upper eyelids, lower eyelids, nasolabial folds, jowls, smile lines and neck. On the body, popular treatments are on the back of the arms (bat wings) abdomen and other areas needing refinement.
It’s particularly effective on mature complexions, targeting forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, sagging eyelids and smile lines. But the facial’s ability to supercharge collagen and elastin production in skin means those of all ages can reap the rewards of this needle-free, pain-free and fuss-free treatment.
Does it hurt?
No – it is a painless comfortable procedure. Slight redness in the treatment area post treatment which subsides within a few hours.
I thoroughly enjoyed the facial. The applicator wand was warm and was glided continually around my face which was comfortable and relaxing. As the treatment continued I felt like my wrinkles were being ironed out! My skin was slightly red after the treatment which had subsided within an hour. I noticed the results immediately. My face had a healthy glow and my face felt generally tightened. There was a definite lift around my eyelids and I noticed that my jawline appeared far more contoured.
It is recommended that weekly sessions are performed over a six week period and I can thoroughly recommend this treatment at Regents Park Aesthetics.
