Forma is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten skin, improving skin laxity (loose skin) and wrinkles. Collagen is a protein in the skin that gives it structure and elasticity. The natural aging process and other factors, like sun damage and free radicals in the environment, gradually cause collagen production to slow and existing collagen fibers to break down. This leads to wrinkles, sagging skin, and irregularities in skin texture and tone. Forma combats these aging effects with advanced skin tightening technology from InMode.
Forma is a great treatment option for patients who want to improve mild to moderate skin laxity without invasive surgery. Radio frequency energy (RF energy) is delivered into the deeper layers of the skin to provide optimal skin contraction and collagen stimulation for maximum and consistent results. By lifting and tightening the skin, patients will see an improvement in deep wrinkles and facial folds, including nasolabial folds (smile lines), early jowling, and neck lines. Collagen stimulation and cellular turnover, Forma can also improve texture irregularities on the skin’s surface, including acne scars, stretch marks, and dull skin tone. Commonly treated areas include the face, neck, chest, arms, and knees.
Forma radiofrequency treatment is safe for all skin types and tones, making it suitable for most patients. However, a consultation with Dr. Janiga or her associates is necessary to ensure you are a good candidate for treatment. The best candidates are adults in overall good health with early signs of aging who still have some good skin elasticity. At the time of treatment, patients must not have an active skin infection (including an acne breakout or cold sores) in the treatment area, and cannot have an implanted electrical device like a pacemaker. During the consultation, Dr. Janiga will provide detailed steps for preparation so you feel confident before the treatment process.
Forma is a non-invasive treatment that requires no anesthesia. A handheld applicator will be moved over the treatment area on the skin’s surface, elevating the temperature of the skin in the treatment area, targeting deep layers of collagen with RF energy. Patients will feel a gentle warming sensation that some compare to a hot stone massage. Both the face and body can be treated in one procedure or treated separately.
After Forma treatments, patients can resume normal activities immediately. Mild redness and swelling may occur, likened to a mild sunburn, but will improve within a few hours. Patients will start to see tighter skin within a few weeks, and results will continue to improve as new collagen forms, the skin contracts, and healthy, radiant skin is resurfaced.
Patients can achieve more youthful-looking skin with just one treatment, but a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results. How many treatments you require will depend on the size of the treatment area and the amount of loose skin.

My experience from start to finish was great. The front desk staff were extremely nice, Maryssa the medical assistant was kind and helpful. Dr. Jennifer Janiga was so professional and thorough. I had Coolsculpting and laser hair removal done at their office. Both Dr. Jennifer Janiga and Maryssa explained the procedures. They made sure I was comfortable and informed. They were so nice to me during each procedure, I was well taken care of. The day after my procedure Maryssa called me to check how I was doing. I will be going back for continued care.
Dr. Jennifer is an excellent physician. I could not have been more happy with my time with her. I’ve seen Dr. Jennifer twice — and in both occurrences she truly listened to my concerns. The treatment she provided was excellent and effective. As long as she is practicing in Reno, I will be her patient!
