Forma Facial

Discover

You can’t deny that no one can set a trend in beauty like Kim Kardashian. So it’s no surprise that when the reality star got a Forma facial, also known as a “nonsurgical facelift,” people were intrigued. Curiosity grew even stronger after seeing Instagram photos of models like Jasmin Sanders, Elsa Hosk, and Delilah Belle Hamlin, as well as various Bollywood celebrities, getting Forma facials.

The same treatment is now available at Sarayu Skin Clinic in Delhi.

A quick Google search reveals that thousands of real people have chosen this skin tightening procedure, which takes less than 30 minutes to complete (it’s so quick, it’s common to have it done during lunchtime). So, what exactly is the latest facial craze all about? Everything you need to know about the Forma facial is right here.

What exactly is a Forma facial and what are the benefits?

Forma is a non-invasive skin procedure that uses heat and radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production in the face, lifting, tightening, and contouring the skin. A heated wand is rubbed up and down your face, giving the sensation that your skin is being ironed. When you’re finished, your skin will be noticeably brighter, your jaw will be more defined, and your face will appear lifted.

 

Who is Forma good for?

Dr. Adarsh Tripathi believes that Forma is beneficial to everyone. “We see younger patients for prevention or a more defined look, and older patients for a lift and tighten without invasive surgery.” Dr. Tripathi’s Forma clients range in age from their twenties to their eighties.

 

Does Forma hurt?

While the Forma wand does heat up to about 109 degrees, it is considered a painless procedure, especially because numbing gel can be requested (though it is not required). Many people compare it to receiving a hot stone massage on your face. The heat settings, on the other hand, are manual, which means that when it comes to more sensitive areas around the eyes, it is lowered to avoid pain.

 

How long do Forma results last?

Your results will last for several weeks after just one session. However, Dr. Adarsh Tripathi recommends scheduling multiple sessions depending on your goals. He claims that with a series of sessions and yearly maintenance, the results can last up to 4 years.

During a Form Facial treatment, the skin is first cleansed to remove impurities. This is followed by exfoliation, which may involve chemical peels or mechanical exfoliation techniques. A customized mask is then applied, along with serums that penetrate deeply to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.

Most patients find the Form Facial treatment to be a comfortable and relaxing experience. While some techniques may cause mild sensations, such as tingling during exfoliation, the overall procedure should not be painful. Dr. Tripathi ensures that all products used are suitable for the patient’s skin type.

A typical Form Facial session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the specific treatments included and the individual skin concerns being addressed. This duration allows for thorough cleansing, exfoliation, and application of nourishing products.

For optimal results, it is generally recommended to have a Form Facial treatment every 4 to 6 weeks. This frequency helps maintain skin health and addresses ongoing concerns. Dr. Tripathi will provide personalized recommendations based on your skin type and goals.

To prepare for a Form Facial treatment, it is advisable to avoid sun exposure, waxing, or harsh exfoliants for at least 24 hours prior to the appointment. Arriving with a clean face, free of makeup, will also help enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
