Preparing properly for Forma Skin Tightening helps protect your skin, minimize side effects, and ensures radiant, long-lasting results—please follow these steps closely for your appointment.
2 weeks prior to your appointment
Avoid tanning beds, sunbathing, and self-tanners for at least two weeks before treatment to prevent skin sensitivity and discoloration.
Inform your provider of any medical conditions, active skin issues, or relevant medication history (such as Accutane or retinoids); start antiviral medication if prone to cold sores as directed.
Begin increasing water intake and maintaining general skin hydration for the best skin health at your appointment.
1 week prior to your appointment
Discontinue topical retinoids, glycolic acids, and other exfoliating products at least one week before your appointment.
Reschedule treatment if you develop an active skin infection, severe breakout, or sunburn.
Complete any needed pre-appointment consultations or paperwork.
Day of appointment
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin; do not apply lotions, oils, or SPF to the treatment area.
Avoid caffeine the morning of your appointment and stay well hydrated.
Wear comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the area being treated.
After your Forma session, the right post-care is key to a smooth recovery and optimal tightening benefits—pay special attention to these guidelines for your healthiest, most beautiful outcome.
24 hours after your appointment
You may experience mild redness, swelling, or a warm sensation—these should resolve within a few hours.
Avoid cooling the skin with ice or cold water and refrain from using any unapproved creams or liquids for at least 90 minutes after your session.
Do not apply makeup for the rest of the day if possible, and protect the area from sun exposure.
2-7 days after your appointment
Keep the skin clean and hydrated—use only gentle cleansers and moisturizer for at least three days.
Apply a high-quality SPF daily and avoid direct sun, high heat (hot tubs, saunas), and intense exercise for 2–3 days after treatment to allow optimal healing.
Skip exfoliating products (retinoids, scrubs, peels) and avoid picking or scratching the treated area for one week.
2 weeks after your appointment
Continue regular hydration, moisturizer, and daily sunscreen use as the new collagen forms for optimal, long-lasting results.
Expect full results to develop over a series of recommended sessions and follow your provider’s plan for maintenance.
Contact your provider if you develop unusual redness, swelling, blistering, or discomfort that persists.
