FAQ
How long does a Forma Plus treatment take?
This treatment typically takes between 30 – 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. With most of our clients, we see a 20% increase in Collagen production and Skin Elasticity in just one treatment.
How long do the results last?
With just one session, your results will last for a few weeks. However, it is best to do multiple sessions. In fact, with a series of sessions and yearly maintenance, your results can last up to 4 years.
What is the difference between Forma and Forma Plus?
Forma is a facial treatment that uses a smaller wand to comfortably contour, sculpt and lift all areas of the face and neck. Forma Plus uses a bigger wand for targeted precision on larger areas such as the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Both treatments are the ultimate non-invasive procedure to tone, tighten and improve skin texture by stimulating new collagen and the contraction of pre-existing collagen.
Is it painful?
Because Forma Plus delivers heat to your skin in a highly controlled, precise way, this is a comfortable treatment with minimal downtime. You may notice slight redness in the treated area which will subside within a few hours. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately.
Can results be achieved in one session?
After your first treatment, you will immediately notice brighter, tighter, and smoother skin. We recommend booking a Forma session the day of (or the day before) any event or special occasion as it will ensure your skin is looking tightened, lifted, plumped, and glowing! For long-term results, 6-8 weekly sessions are recommended, you will notice optimal results 6-8 weeks after your last session.
Collagen build-up occurs incrementally; meaning you can enjoy noticeable improvements in your skin tone and texture for several weeks after each treatment.
Forma is an ideal preventative treatment to ensure tighter, plumper skin and the rebuilding of collagen that we lose as time passes. Generally, our clients between the ages of 20-30 will benefit from one Forma treatment every 3-6 months in order to maintain their healthy, youthful glow for even longer.
Clients with more laxity to their skin would receive optimal results with 6-8 sessions of the Forma Plus treatment.
Please note that everyone’s skin is unique and individual results may vary. Our team of Skin Health Experts will be able to create a bespoke treatment plan for you.
Can Forma Plus help me?
The body produces Collagen naturally and is in abundance when young, this naturally declines once we hit our 20’s and our body slows down production.
As such, most clients who have started noticing skin laxity (usually mid-twenties and over) can significantly benefit from any Forma treatment.
For younger clients, this is the perfect preventative tool in order to delay the ageing process or to target areas on the body from weight loss and pregnancy. For those clients who are experiencing mild/moderate skin laxity issues Forma rebuilds and regenerates a brand new matrix of Collagen and Elastin for superior tightening and lifting.
Can I combine Forma Plus with other treatments?
Absolutely! For the ultimate non-invasive full body remodeling Forma can be combined with Morpheus 8 for complete body sub-dermal remodeling on problematic body areas. This powerful pair is one of the most advanced body contouring technologies to reduce fat, stimulate skin laxity and collagen production for a visibly taught and sculpted body.
Does it hurt?
No, not at all. You’ll feel a mild tingling sensation that is noticeable but not painful. The HydraFacial® combined is completely painless and nothing but relaxing yet invigorating.
Are there any risks or side effects?
There are no adverse long-term side effects from any Forma treatment.
Clients may experience slight temporary erythema (redness) in the targeted area of treatment which only lasts a couple of hours post-procedure.
Is there any aftercare?
Whenever you are doing skin tightening or body contouring treatments, for maximum results to be obtained from your treatment we recommend your water intake is high (2 liters daily) throughout your protocol. That is the only aftercare that you need for Forma Plus!
This will assist in flushing out toxins, improve skin health & vitality through lymphatic drainage ensuring you will see the results of your treatment quicker

I have a special event coming up, how far in advance should I book my treatment?
In order to see your best results before your special occasion, we recommend you book your treatment course 12 weeks in advance. This will allow adequate time for 6-8 weekly sessions, as well as sufficient time prior for full results to show as new Collagen and Elastin is produced.
Our experienced team of Practitioners and Aesthetician’s can provide you with a treatment plan according to your budget, concerns, and timeframe. You can send us pictures to: enquiries@thelookbylouise.co.uk
Already past the 12-week mark but still looking for effective treatment before the big day?
No problem! Having only one session before your special occasion will ensure the skin is smooth, plump, and tightened. Make-up can be applied directly to the skin after treatment, so no matter what plans you may have, you can be assured your skin will be looking flawless, youthful, and contoured.
