This energy safely heats the deep layers of the skin to increase collagen fibers and promote your body’s natural healing process.

Care Your Way
When you choose Cernero Surgery & Aesthetics, you experience providers dedicated to your well-being. Your care is attentive, personalized, and designed for your comfort.

Ongoing Support
Your journey with us includes the support, education, and resources you need to stay on track with your treatment plan and achieve your goals.
Skin Tightening That Fits Your Routine
Forma offers a comfortable way to address early skin laxity without needles, incisions, or a long recovery. The device delivers controlled radiofrequency energy, while built-in temperature monitoring maintains consistent warmth across the treatment area.
Patients who notice mild looseness, softening around their features, or less-firm skin benefit most from Forma. At Cernero Surgery & Aesthetics, we personalize each session of skin tightening near Dallas for your comfort and long-term aesthetic goals.

Ideal Candidates for Skin Tightening
Forma often fits patients who want firmer-looking skin but prefer to delay any invasive procedures. It works best for mild changes, and its noninvasive technique means appointments fit easily into a busy schedule.
During your consultation for skin tightening near Dallas, we examine the area you want to improve and discuss the kind of changes you hope to see. We also review your health history, recent procedures, and current skincare routine.
Forma supports gradual improvement rather than creating a sudden change. It may help skin look smoother, firmer, and more refreshed, but it does not remove hanging skin or create the same degree of lifting as surgery.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
During treatment, your provider moves the Forma handpiece across the skin. Most patients notice a feeling of warmth, often comparing it to a warm facial massage.
The device monitors your skin’s temperature throughout the appointment. This helps us maintain consistent warmth and avoid overheating one area. We also check on your comfort throughout the appointment and adjust the intensity when needed.
Forma does not use needles or incisions, meaning you can usually return to your normal routine after leaving the office. Patients may notice temporary warmth or redness, but it should be mild and subside on its own.
Your Skin Tightening Treatment Course
Your individual Forma plan depends on your starting skin condition, treatment area, and desired outcome. Because the treatment supports a gradual renewal process, we may recommend a series of appointments (6 to 8) rather than relying on a single visit.
After your initial treatment course, occasional maintenance sessions help support your results. Your provider will recommend timing based on your skin, aging process, sun exposure, and personal preferences.
Combining Treatments With Forma
Forma focuses on enhancing firmness and skin quality, but it does not address every concern. We may pair it with another service when you have multiple aesthetic goals.
For example, some patients add intense pulsed light therapy for visible redness or areas of discoloration. A DiamondGlow facial can work alongside skin tightening near Dallas to refresh the skin’s surface, while medical-grade skincare supports hydration and daily protection to keep the skin healthy.
Comprehensive service pairings can complement your skin tightening plan by addressing concerns that radiofrequency alone does not target. We carefully schedule combined treatments to protect your skin and avoid unnecessary irritation.

Let’s Have a Conversation
More than just talking to our patients, we listen to their concerns. It’s the first step and, in our professional opinion, one of the most important.

When using Forma for skin tightening near Dallas, Dr. Cernero recommends 6 to 8 treatments to effectively tighten skin and reduce the signs of aging. Your exact number of treatments depends on the severity of your skin concerns. During your consultation, we work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to effectively meet your skin tightening needs.
Forma primarily focuses on skin and tissue remodeling for tightness. This treatment for skin tightening near Dallas does not reduce fat, so we do not recommend it when excess fat is the main concern.
Your provider evaluates your area of concern before recommending a plan so you understand what Forma can realistically change. If another solution or combination suits your concerns better, we recommend those alternatives during your consultation.
Forma can improve mild skin laxity after weight loss, especially when the remaining skin is thin, slightly loose, or beginning to look crepey.
Patients with large folds or hanging skin may need a different level of correction, such as surgical care.
Our team gives you an honest assessment rather than promoting Forma when it is unlikely to meet your expectations. If Dr. Cernero recommends surgical intervention for loose skin, he can explain the excess skin removal process and decide whether it suits your situation.
Maintenance needs vary. Your skin continues to age, and elements such as sun exposure, weight changes, lifestyle factors, and skincare habits may affect how long you enjoy your results.
After you complete your recommended 6 to 8 sessions of skin tightening near Dallas at Cernero Surgery & Aesthetics, we can review your progress and suggest a maintenance schedule.
Each patient responds differently to care, meaning we personalize your maintenance sessions to your needs.
You can also explore our offerings of medical-grade skincare to support healthy, youthful-looking skin at home between treatments. Pairing this support with Forma can enhance the longevity of your results.
For our skin tightening near Dallas, we ask that you arrive at our practice with clean skin when possible.
You should remove makeup, heavy creams, and other products from the area being treated.
During your consultation, tell us about recent medical or aesthetic procedures, new medications, active rashes, infections, or changes in your health. This review allows us to help you prepare effectively for upcoming treatment and confirm that we can treat your skin safely.
We may adjust your appointment timing if the skin is irritated or not ready for treatment.
Most patients find Forma comfortable. When we glide the handpiece over your treatment area, it generates a steady warming feeling.
Forma does not use needles or surgery to tighten the skin, and it leaves the skin’s surface intact, unlike various lasers and resurfacing treatments.
This skin tightening device does not require numbing cream, because the procedure is noninvasive and designed to provide controlled warmth.
During your appointment, your provider monitors your comfort. If you feel excessive heat or irritation, we can adjust the settings to your comfort level.
