Introduction:
Forma uses radiofrequency technology to target deep layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing skin's overall texture and elasticity. Following the recommended aftercare routine ensures the effectiveness of the treatment and maintains skin health.
Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours):
- Cooling: It's normal to experience mild redness and warmth in the treated area. Use cold compresses to alleviate these symptoms, but avoid applying ice directly to the skin.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to support skin hydration and detoxification.
- Cleanliness: Gently cleanse the treated area, avoiding vigorous rubbing. Use mild, non-irritating products.
- Moisturise: Apply a good-quality moisturiser to the treated area to nourish and protect the skin.
Continued Care (Days 3 and Beyond):
- Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher when venturing outdoors.
- Avoid Excessive Heat: Refrain from very hot showers, baths, saunas, or other sources of significant heat for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
- Gentle Skin Care: Continue using mild skin care products and avoid those containing harsh chemicals, retinoids, or acids for a week.
Potential Issues to Monitor:
- Prolonged Redness or Swelling: While mild redness is expected immediately post-treatment, contact your practitioner if it lasts more than 48 hours or if swelling is pronounced.
- Blistering or Burning: These are rare side effects. If they occur, contact your clinic immediately.
- Unusual Sensations: Tingling, numbness, or any other unusual sensations should be reported to your practitioner.
Follow-Up Appointments:
Regular sessions and follow-ups might be necessary to achieve and maintain the best results. Ensure you attend any scheduled post-treatment appointments to discuss results and address any concerns.
