Forma Treatment

Non-Surgical, Painless Skin Tightening — No Downtime

What Is Forma?

Are you noticing sagging skin, fine lines, or loss of definition in your face or body? Forma is the gentle, non-invasive way to lift, tone, and rejuvenate your appearance — naturally stimulating collagen production deep within your skin for smoother, firmer, younger-looking results.

Forma is radio-frequency (RF) skin remodeling treatment.
It uses gentle, controlled thermal energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin’s deeper layers, resulting in:

Improved skin tightness
Enhanced facial contours
Smoother texture
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles

With Forma, you can enjoy natural, long-lasting rejuvenation — without needles, surgery, or significant downtime.

How Does Forma Work?

Forma applies consistent radio-frequency energy to heat the skin’s subdermal layers. This controlled thermal stimulation:

Activates new collagen production
Remodels existing collagen fibers
Tightens and firms loose skin
Smooths out uneven texture

Dr Sami precisely monitors skin temperature for optimal safety and results, guaranteeing a treatment that’s effective, comfortable, and completely non-invasive.

N.B Most patients describe it as a warm facial massage — deeply relaxing and pain-free.

What to Expect During and After Your Treatment

Each Forma session typically lasts between 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated.

During treatment:

You’ll feel a soothing warmth as the device moves across your skin.
There’s no discomfort — it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage.

After treatment:

Mild redness may occur but usually fades within a few hours.
You can resume your normal routine straight away — no downtime needed!

Results Timeline:

Some immediate tightness and glow can be noticed after the first session.
Best results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen rebuilds.
A typical course involves 6 sessions, spaced one week apart.

Is Forma Right for Me?

Forma is perfect for men and women seeking a non-surgical solution to mild or moderate skin laxity, including:

Early signs of sagging
Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of firmness and definition

It’s a great option for people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond who want to boost their skin’s natural resilience without dramatic interventions. Forma is safe for all skin types and tones, with minimal risk of pigmentation or irritation.

How long will the liposuction procedure take?

The lipo procedure is carried out in our clinic in Donnybrook under local anaesthetic and will take approximately half a day (a few hours) from check-in to walking out.
What preparation do I need to do?

No preparation is needed. We simply advise trying to get a good night’s sleep the night before. No fasting is required but we do recommend a light breakfast on the morning of your procedure.
Should I bring anything with me?

Nothing is required but some patients like to bring a spare change of clothes including fresh underwear and loose clothing to wear over your compression garments post treatment.
What is the aftercare?

You will be required to wear a compression garment for one month, which we will provide for you. You will also be prescribed an antibiotic for the initial five days post treatment. You can walk immediately after your procedure but avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting for the initial two weeks.
Can I drive after my treatment?

No. On the day of your procedure, you will be unable to drive that day and will need to organise a lift home.
When will I return for a follow-up visit?

This will consist of three visits, the first of which will be the day after your procedure for a check-up. A second appointment is organized for two weeks post procedure to monitor healing and assess the swelling. A third and final appointment is then scheduled for three months after your Tickle Lipo procedure to review results and will include any adjustments which may be needed.
What does the pain management entail?

It is very simple, painkillers can be prescribed as needed but pain management would normally be approximately 3-5 days for most patients. The treatment area may feel bruised, swollen and tender for the first few days, but recovery can vary from patient to patient, depending on the individual and the extent of the procedure. Some patients describe the recovery as more of a discomfort and do not require any prescription pain medication post treatment.
When can I shower or bathe?

You can shower the day after your procedure but as it takes 5-7 days for your incision to close, you must avoid bathing/ swimming for the first week.
How long until I can notice results?

Results can be noticeable immediately after the procedure, but we would say that you will be ‘beach ready’ within a month. Best results can be observed 3-6 months post-procedure as the swelling continues to subside, but this is dependent on each patient and how they respond to the treatment.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the healing process?

Yes, we offer Lymphastim lymphatic drainage which can be performed approximately five days after your Tickle Lipo procedure, and this will help to reduce swelling and encourage healing.
How is Tickle Lipo different from other types of liposuction?

It is far less invasive. Tickle Lipo is performed under local anaesthetic while you are awake and requires no fasting and no overnight stay on the day of your procedure. There is a quicker recovery time which means less down-time and a more rapid return to every-day life and work.
Will I be left with excess skin after the procedure?

Not necessarily but this will be assessed with Dr. Sami in your initial consultation. There are various treatments which can be performed to avoid this, all of which will be discussed with you. Factors including age, genetics and overall skin health can contribute towards loose skin but maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight after the procedure can minimize the likelihood of this happening. The compression garment is a key part of the aftercare which also minimizes loose skin.
Can I have liposuction after a C-section?

Yes, but we would advise waiting a minimum of six months to a year after a C-section before considering liposuction to allow the area to fully heal. Liposuction on the abdomen also will not affect any future pregnancies or C-sections.
