Forma Skin Tightening
Smooth the Look of Wrinkles with Forma™ Skin Tightening
In Fort Collins, CO, the air carries a light crispness as the foothills frame quiet neighborhoods and sunlit streets, with soft breezes moving through budding trees and the distant outline of the Rockies grounding the pace of the day. At Xanadu Med Spa, Forma™ and Forma™ Plus are offered as noninvasive options for those seeking a measured approach to skin care. This radiofrequency facial treatment gently warms the deeper layers of the skin, supporting natural processes involved in collagen and elastin production. The sensation is often described as comfortably warm, creating an experience that feels steady, attentive, and aligned with a calm clinical environment.
Forma™ skin tightening in Fort Collins, CO, focuses on areas where the skin may appear less firm over time, while maintaining balance and skin integrity. Controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered to specific areas without disrupting the surface, allowing the skin to respond gradually. Over a series of visits, some individuals notice changes in texture and overall smoothness that reflect their personal goals. At Xanadu Med Spa, each session is approached with intention and clarity, giving space for thoughtful planning and a pace that supports comfort while addressing individual skin concerns.

Results Timeline & Duration
Most clients notice a soft, refreshed glow shortly after treatment, often linked to gentle tissue warming and mild, temporary fluid shifts beneath the skin. Bigger structural changes take more time. As the skin responds, subtle improvements in firmness and contour may become more apparent around sessions 3–5, with continued refinement through weeks 8–12 as collagen develops and reorganizes. A consistent schedule tends to support this process, often beginning with weekly visits for 6–8 weeks, then spacing out maintenance every 8–12 weeks based on individual skin quality, lifestyle, and goals. Areas with more movement, such as the lower face and jawline, may show earlier visible changes when supported by balanced hydration and thoughtful nutrition.
This Forma™ treatment is known for its controlled, comfortable heat, allowing most clients to return to daily activities such as work, social plans, or exercise without interruption. For those considering a noninvasive facelift approach in Fort Collins, it can be included as part of a broader plan centered on gradual skin tightening and overall skin health. Thoughtful timing can also support event preparation, with many individuals choosing to begin their series 8–10 weeks in advance to allow results to develop at a steady, natural pace.

Benefits of Forma & Forma Plus
Versatile
Not only can Forma™ treat the wrinkles on your face, but it can also treat loose skin on multiple areas of your body. You can get one or many areas done in the same treatment session.
Noninvasive
With Forma™, you won’t need to undergo surgery or experience injections. This treatment is noninvasive, meaning less pain and fewer side effects.
No Downtime
Once you’re finished with treatment, you won’t need to take any downtime. You’ll be able to return to your daily activities as normal.
How It Works
Forma™ skin tightening in Fort Collins, CO, uses thermal energy from targeted radiofrequency to heat the dermis. By stimulating healing within the body, collagen and elastin are naturally produced.
Our bodies need collagen and elastin to tighten and heal our skin. They can also even out skin tone, smooth texture, and more.
Let’s Get Real
Taking the Filter Off of Medical Aesthetics
Episode 1
In our first episode, we talk real results and real passion, covering chemical peels, personalized care, and why educating patients is at the heart of what we do. No filters, just honest conversations about what makes medical aesthetics so rewarding.
What to Expect
We ask that you arrive at your appointment wearing clothing that allows us to access the treatment area easily. We’ll ask you to lie down on the treatment table, and then we’ll apply a cooling gel to your skin.
You may feel a warming sensation during your appointment, but you should feel completely comfortable during treatment. Typically, appointments last 30 minutes to an hour.
Pricing Plans
We keep pricing aligned to goals and areas. Small zones (eyes, mouth) are the most affordable; full face, face + neck, or face + neck + jawline are priced in tiers. Because collagen builds cumulatively, packages deliver the best value, typically a six- or eight-session series with member savings and priority booking. Maintenance touch-ups are available individually or in discounted bundles.
Every plan includes a consult, customized parameters, post-treatment cooling, and photo tracking. HSA/FSA may apply to eligible wellness add-ons, and financing options can spread costs across the series. If you’re comparing options for a non-invasive or non-surgical facelift, ask for a written plan that outlines the per-session cost, projected timeline, and maintenance pricing after the initial series.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
These instructions will help you achieve the most from your Forma™ appointment.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
To reduce the chance of skin sensitivity after Forma™ skin tightening, use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before going outdoors. A tanning bed should also be avoided, as well as and tanning lotions during this time.
Stop Taking These Medications
Avoid ibuprofen, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications for at least one week before your appointment for Forma™ or Forma™ Plus, unless otherwise directed by your healthcare provider.
Do Not Use Irritating Products
Discontinue the use of strong or active skincare products, including retinol, retinoids, and exfoliants, about one week before your visit. Choose gentle cleansers and moisturizers to keep the skin calm and balanced.
Post-Treatment Instructions
For the best possible outcome, please follow these guidelines carefully after getting Forma™.
Stay Hydrated
Improve the healing process by staying hydrated. Make sure to drink plenty of water after your Forma™ or Forma™ Plus appointment.
Stay Out of Direct Sunlight
Continue to avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and self-tanners for a week following your appointment. Make sure you wear SPF 30 or higher when you are outside.
Avoid Irritants
Continue to use only gentle cleansers and moisturizers on your skin. Avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, and other places where your skin would be exposed to hot water.
Side Effects & Risks
Forma™ uses controlled radiofrequency to gently warm the dermis, supporting the skin’s natural collagen activity over time. Most responses are mild and short-lived, such as temporary redness, warmth, or slight swelling, which typically resolve within a few hours. On occasion, sensitive skin may experience brief dryness or a minor breakout that resolves on its own. Because this approach does not rely on light-based energy, the risk of visible pigment change remains low when appropriate settings and aftercare are followed. Treatment is generally avoided over open lesions, active infections, or immediately after more intensive skin procedures.
If you have metal implants or have recently received injectables or neuromodulators, it is important to share this during your consultation so timing can be adjusted with care. Staying well hydrated, applying daily SPF, and using a barrier-supportive moisturizer can help maintain skin balance throughout your series. For those considering options such as a non-invasive facelift in Fort Collins, CO, this collagen-boosting facial can be included as part of a broader, thoughtful plan that fits comfortably into a full schedule without added downtime.
