• How does Forma by InMode work?

  Forma uses radiofrequency technology in the form of a needle to provide deep-layer skin contraction. This energy has been shown to stimulate new collagen production and improve your skin quality for long-lasting results that will give you stunningly beautiful-looking skin!

• How long does Forma last?

  With just one Forma session, your results will last a few weeks. However, depending on the goal you are trying to achieve and with multiple sessions over time as well as yearly maintenance, results can last up to 4 years.

• Does ultrasonic skin tightening really work?

  Ultrasonic skin tightening is a popular beauty treatment that uses sound waves to lift and tone loose, sagging skin. But does it really work? The answer is yes and no. While ultrasonic skin tightening can produce temporary results, it is not a long-term solution for wrinkles and slackening skin. Combining ultrasonic treatments with other anti-aging modalities such as retinoids, facial exercises, and laser resurfacing is the best way to achieve long-lasting effects. You can achieve the best possible results by taking a comprehensive approach to aging skin.

• Is there anything better than Forma by InMode?

  FDA approval and safety auto-regulation are not the only features that make Inmode Forma one of the best skin-tightening Dubai procedures; it is also highly effective and gentle enough to work on all skin types. The Inmode Forma uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deep layers of skin, stimulating collagen production and resulting in skin tightening. The advantage of this treatment over others is that it heats the tissue slowly and evenly, resulting in a more natural-looking and long-lasting result. InMode Forma is ideal for those seeking a safe and effective way to achieve tighter, more youthful-looking skin.

• Can Forma damage your skin?

  InMode Forma is a new cosmetic treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to improve the appearance of skin. The treatment effectively reduces wrinkles, improves skin texture, and makes the skin appear more youthful. However, some people have raised concerns about the safety of InMode Forma, suggesting that it could damage the skin. While it is true that InMode Forma delivers a high level of heat to the skin, this heat is carefully controlled and monitored by trained professionals. In addition, InMode Forma has been extensively tested in clinical trials and is safe and effective. As a result, no evidence suggests that InMode Forma damages the skin.
