Areas Treated

Forma I treats facial skin laxity and delivers controlled subdermal heating for collagen remodelling across facial and neck zones.

Face — Cheeks & Jowls

Non-invasive lifting and tightening of the mid-face, jowls, and lower face. RF heating stimulates new collagen formation and skin contraction over multiple sessions.

Periorbital Area

Under-eye skin laxity, fine lines, and hooded upper eyelids — precision heating of the delicate periorbital zone with automated thermal management.

Forehead

Brow lifting and forehead skin tightening with controlled RF delivery for gradual collagen contraction.

Neck & Submental

Skin tightening for neck laxity and the submental area — an effective non-surgical option for early to moderate skin sagging.

Nasolabial Folds

Reduction of nasolabial fold depth through perioral RF heating and collagen stimulation in the surrounding dermis.

Treatment Parameters

Forma I uses Auto Mode to maintain a target skin temperature of 40–43°C. The device automatically adjusts RF output in real time based on continuous temperature feedback from the treatment tip, ensuring safe and consistent heating without manual adjustment.

Area	Target Temp	Treatment Time	Sessions
Full Face	40–43°C	20–30 min	6–10
Periorbital	40–42°C	10–15 min	6–10
Neck	40–43°C	15–20 min	6–10

Clinical Notes

Apply conductive gel to the treatment area. Move the handpiece in continuous circular motions — do not hold stationary. Sessions are typically performed weekly to biweekly. Results accumulate progressively over the treatment series and continue to improve for 3–6 months post-treatment as new collagen matures.

FAQs

Common questions about Forma I. Contact STERN Laser for clinical guidance specific to your practice.

Forma I and Morpheus8 serve different patient profiles and treatment goals. Forma I is fully non-invasive with no downtime — ideal for maintenance, patients who cannot tolerate downtime, and mild-to-moderate laxity. Morpheus8 delivers deeper subdermal remodelling with greater single-treatment impact but requires downtime. Many practices use both in combination — Forma I for monthly maintenance, Morpheus8 for periodic deeper treatments.

Forma I results are progressive and cumulative. Most patients begin to see improvement from session 4–5 onwards, with the full treatment series (typically 6–10 sessions) delivering optimal results. Results continue to improve for several months as collagen matures. Maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks are recommended to sustain outcomes.

Yes — Forma I is one of the most comfortable aesthetic RF treatments available. Most patients describe a warm, pleasant heating sensation. The automated temperature control prevents overheating, and no topical anaesthetic is required.

Forma I is the facial handpiece designed for non-invasive RF skin tightening of the face and neck. Forma V is the women's wellness handpiece designed to deliver RF energy to the vaginal canal and external labial tissues for internal and external tissue remodelling. Both use the same core RF technology with automated temperature control, but differ in their applicator design and treatment application.
