InMode Forma RF Treatment
Lift, Tighten, and Restore Firmer-Looking Skin
InMode Forma RF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment suitable for both the face and body. It delivers controlled radiofrequency into the deeper layers of the skin to encourage collagen and elastin production, supporting firmer, tighter-looking skin with minimal downtime.
Forma uses continuous temperature monitoring to apply radiofrequency evenly across the treatment area while maintaining a consistent therapeutic level throughout the session. Because the skin's surface remains intact, it offers a gentler alternative to more intensive resurfacing procedures without compromising comfort.
We tailor every InMode Forma RF session to your skin laxity, target area, and desired outcome. Where appropriate, it may also be incorporated into a broader treatment plan alongside complementary options such as Hydrafacial, PRP, or Morpheus8.
Treatment Steps
Consultation
We begin by discussing your concerns, assessing your skin, and reviewing your medical history to determine whether InMode Forma RF is suitable for you. This is also your opportunity to ask questions, understand what to expect, and learn what your personalised programme will involve.
Preparation
Your skin is cleansed, and a conductive gel is applied to help the applicator glide smoothly while ensuring effective delivery of radiofrequency energy throughout the treatment.
Radiofrequency Treatment
A handheld applicator is gently moved across the selected areas in smooth, continuous passes, gradually warming the skin while the device keeps the sensation comfortable throughout the session.
Post-Treatment
You may notice mild warmth or temporary redness immediately afterwards, but these effects usually settle within a few hours. Most people can return to their usual routine straight away. Before you leave, we'll provide personalised aftercare advice to support your skin and help you get the most from your sessions.

Post-Treatment Care

Avoid Excessive Heat
Avoid saunas, steam rooms, and very hot showers for 24 to 48 hours after your session.
Pause Active Skincare
Hold off on retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs until we advise it's safe to resume.

Drink plenty of water to support your skin following your session.
Attend Follow-Up Check-Ins
We may recommend a brief follow-up to check your skin's response and adjust future sessions if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Results vary depending on factors such as your age, skin condition, and lifestyle. After completing the recommended course of treatments, results may last several months. Maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months may help preserve skin firmness and support ongoing collagen production.
InMode Forma RF is suitable for all skin types and is often recommended for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity seeking a non-surgical way to improve skin firmness and quality. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, including those who are pregnant, have active skin infections, certain implanted electronic devices, or specific medical conditions. Our therapist will assess your suitability during your consultation.
Most people find InMode Forma RF comfortable. Most people find the treatment feels like a gentle, warm massage rather than a painful procedure.
Both treatments use radiofrequency technology but address different concerns. InMode Forma RF delivers heat through the skin's surface to improve skin firmness without needles or significant downtime, while Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency with microneedling to target deeper concerns such as acne scars, uneven texture, and more advanced signs of ageing. The most suitable option depends on your skin concerns and desired outcome. Depending on your goals, the two can also be used together as part of a broader treatment plan.
InMode Forma RF can be performed throughout the year. For the best experience, it's ideal to schedule your treatment when you can minimise excessive sun exposure and follow the recommended aftercare. If you have an upcoming holiday, special event, or trip planned, our therapist can help you determine the most suitable timing.
