Your pre-treatment guide from DRS Skincare in Hamilton, ON
If you’re ready to tighten and contour your skin—without surgery or downtime—then InMode® Forma and Forma Plus may be the ideal solution. These non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatments stimulate collagen and remodel tissue to restore a firm, youthful appearance. But while there’s no scalpel or sutures involved, a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring your safety and achieving the best possible results.
At DRS Skincare in Hamilton, Ontario, here’s what we want you to know before your appointment.
Are There Medical Conditions That May Prevent Me from Having Forma or Forma Plus?
Yes. During your consultation, we will review your:
- Medical history
- Skin condition
- Current medications and supplements
In general, RF skin tightening is not recommended for:
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Those with active cold sores or herpes outbreaks
- Individuals who have had recent chemical peels or cosmetic surgery
- Patients with a history of keloid scarring or severe skin sensitivity
If you’re unsure, don’t worry—we’ll discuss safer alternatives or customize the protocol for your needs.
Can I Get Forma or Forma Plus If My Skin Is Tanned?
We avoid Tanned skin—natural or from sunless tanners—can increase the risk of post-treatment complications, such as burns or pigmentation issues. For your safety:
- Avoid UV exposure and sunless tanning products for at least 2–4 weeks before treatment
- Wear SPF 30+ daily, even on cloudy days
What Should I Eat or Drink Before My Appointment?
Healthy habits help your skin heal and respond better to treatment:
- Stay hydrated the day before and the day of treatment
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of treatment to minimize sensitivity
- Eat a light, nutritious meal prior to your visit
- Avoid smoking, which impairs circulation and collagen production
If you’re a smoker, we recommend starting cessation as early as possible. Tobacco can compromise results and slow healing.
