Boost collagen and achieve firm, smooth skin

Forma skin tightening is a cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates and tightens the skin using advanced radiofrequency technology. Forma works by delivering controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis, the second layer of skin. This energy heats the underlying tissues, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen is a protein that provides structural support to the skin, while elastin helps maintain its elasticity. As we age, the production of these essential proteins decreases, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles.

Forma delivers radiofrequency energy into the skin without causing damage to the surface layer, ensuring a safe and effective treatment for various skin types. By promoting collagen and elastin production, Forma helps tighten loose skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The controlled heating also encourages blood circulation, further enhancing skin health and vitality. Over time, patients experience firmer, smoother skin. Forma skin tightening in St. Louis combats signs of aging without surgery or downtime.
