Brands Treatments Forma - Radiofrequency

Forma Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency treatments form part of Thames Skin Clinic’s skin tightening portfolio.

Radiofrequency energy stimulates the formation of new collagen improving skin elasticity for long lasting improvement.

Forma Radiofrequency treatment provides skin tightening to treat facial and body skin laxity. Treatment achieves more youthful toned skin with a smoother appearance.

Before and afters

Targeted bipolar RF energy helps to tighten skin and stimulate collagen and elastin formation. Treatment improves

Radiofrequency energy heats deep layers of the skin in a controlled way to revitalise collagen, improving skin complexion and texture. Forma is suitable for all skin types and in appropriate for individuals seeking a non-invasive and natural looking approach to improvements in skin tone and textural irregularities.

Forma radio-frequency treatment is recommended as a course of 6 or more weekly treatments. Individuals with mild laxity may be treated in fewer sessions or with more weeks between.

Compared with other skin tightening treatments like CO2 laser the downtime is minimal and you will see noticeable results after 2 weeks, improving for 3 months, lasting up to 2 years.

The collagen stimulation and textural improvement seen following Radiofrequency prove it is an effective skin tightening treatment.

Forma treatment is a bipolar skin surface, temperature controlled radiofrequency skin tightening treatment to stimulate collagen and tighten skin. Courses of 4,6 or more are recommended depending on the laxity of your skin.

Fractora takes radiofrequency skin tightening a step further. The treatment uses micro-needles (called pins) to send the radiofrequency deeper into the skin. The micro-needles improve the texture of your skin and the radiofrequency improves skin laxity. This is a wonderful treatment for textual skin improvements. There is an instant tightening effect which continue for up to 3 months after treatment.

Additional treatments to tighten skin, rehydrate and improve skin laxity are suitable for some patients.

Radiofrequency treatments vary by the area of treatment and type of treatment to give you the best results. We often get asked about the cost of treatment. At Thames Skin Clinic we pride ourselves on results rather than focus on the price of a treatment, it is more important that we get the correct quality of product rather than offer cut price treatments, products and services (especially when it comes to medical treatments). You will never see Thames Skin Clinic advertising services on social coupon sites such as Groupon as we believe they have a negative impact on our customer safety, results and satisfaction. We also wish to abide by the advertising regulator and work in a safe ethical manor.

Our prices reflect the skill, training and premier product choices we have made as well as the true reflection of the beautiful bespoke clinic surroundings.
