FAQs About Aftercare for InMode® Forma & Forma Plus
Post-treatment tips from DRS Skincare in Hamilton, Ontario
At DRS Skincare in Hamilton, ON, we specialize in non-invasive skin tightening treatments like InMode® Forma and Forma Plus—technologies that use radiofrequency (RF) energy to tighten lax skin, stimulate collagen, and rejuvenate your appearance. While these procedures are often described as gentle, safe, and “low downtime”, a few simple aftercare steps can help you maximize your results and protect your skin.
What Will My Skin Look Like After Treatment?
You may notice:
- Mild redness or warmth at the treatment site
- A sensation similar to a light sunburn
- Possible bruising
This typically resolves within 1–2 hours, and you can resume most activities right away.
Can I Get Back to My Regular Activities?
Yes! Forma and Forma Plus are true “lunch break” procedures, meaning:
- No anesthesia or sedation is required
- No recovery time is needed
- You can return to work, errands, and social activities immediately
Should I Still Plan for Downtime?
While formal downtime isn’t needed, we recommend that first-time patients give themselves a little breathing room. Set aside time to relax, hydrate, and listen to your body. Even the most gentle treatments can produce varied responses depending on individual sensitivity.
What’s the Best Way to Care for My Skin Post-Treatment?
To support healing and enhance results:
- Use lukewarm water and gentle cleansers
- Apply moisturizers liberally to keep skin soft and hydrated
- Avoid harsh scrubs, acids, or retinoids for at least 2–3 days
- Skip any heat-based treatments or hot environments (like saunas) for 24 hours
Do I Need to Protect My Skin from the Sun?
Absolutely. Your skin may be more sensitive to UV rays after RF skin tightening. We recommend:
- Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
- Limiting direct sun exposure
- Avoiding tanning beds, which can accelerate collagen breakdown and undermine your results
Let our team help you choose a medical-grade sunscreen suited to your skin type.
Will You Recommend Specific Aftercare Products?
Yes! Based on your skin type and the area treated, we may suggest:
- Post-treatment calming serums or barrier-repair moisturizers
- Products to extend and enhance collagen production
Customized at-home regimens to maintain long-term results
Our goal is to help you get the most out of your Forma or Forma Plus treatment and keep your skin looking firm, smooth, and glowing.
