Forma Plus RF
Forma Plus RF uses advanced radiofrequency energy to tighten skin and improve tone across the body—without surgery or downtime.
What is it?
Forma Plus RF is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment that uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. It’s designed to improve tone, firmness, and elasticity in areas prone to sagging or laxity, such as the abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks, and knees.
At AvenueMD, Forma Plus is performed under the supervision of Dr. Jennifer Salsberg to ensure consistent, safe, and natural results. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking gentle, progressive improvement in skin tightness and texture without surgery, needles, or recovery time.
Unlike more aggressive procedures, Forma Plus delivers results through gentle, controlled heating—creating smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
How does it work?
Forma Plus delivers uniform radiofrequency energy deep into the dermal layers, gently heating the tissue to a therapeutic temperature that stimulates fibroblast activity. This triggers new collagen formation and tightens existing fibers, leading to gradual firming and improved skin quality.
A built-in temperature control system ensures consistent heat delivery and comfort throughout the procedure. Each treatment lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the area. Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a warm stone massage.
Optimal results are typically achieved through a series of 6–8 sessions spaced one week apart, followed by occasional maintenance treatments. Improvements appear progressively, continuing to refine for several months as collagen remodeling takes place.
Recovery and downtime
Forma Plus requires no downtime. The skin may appear slightly pink and feel warm for up to an hour after treatment, but patients can resume normal activities immediately. Because the technology works by stimulating natural collagen renewal, results appear gradually—producing subtle, natural enhancement rather than abrupt change.
With regular treatments, skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more resilient, maintaining a healthy, youthful tone that evolves with time.
