Forma Plus Skin Tightening: How It Works and Pricing

Noticing loose or crepey skin on your abdomen, arms, or thighs even after doing everything right with diet and exercise? Forma Plus body skin tightening was designed for exactly that. It tightens and smooths skin without surgery, scars, or downtime, which makes it a favorite for post weight loss, post pregnancy, and age related skin changes.

In this guide, we break down Forma Plus body skin tightening: cost, areas treated, and how it works, so you know exactly what to expect before you book at Le Jolie Medi Spa.

What Is Forma Plus Skin Tightening?

Forma Plus is a non-invasive radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that targets loose, sagging skin on the body and select facial areas. It uses controlled RF energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin and trigger your own collagen and elastin production.

Key points:

  • Non surgical body contouring and skin tightening

  • Uses bipolar radiofrequency to firm and smooth lax skin

  • FDA cleared technology that can be used on both face and body

  • Safe for all skin types with no downtime


At Le Jolie, Forma Plus is often part of a larger body contouring or skin rejuvenation plan for clients who want a tighter, more lifted look without going under the knife.

How Does Forma Plus Technology Work?

Forma Plus is a form of radiofrequency skin tightening. The handpiece glides over your skin while RF energy safely heats the dermis, where collagen lives. That targeted heat kickstarts a process called collagen remodeling, which tightens existing collagen and stimulates new collagen over time.

Radiofrequency Energy for Collagen Remodeling

When RF energy reaches the deeper layers of the skin, it:

  • Gently heats collagen fibers so they contract

  • Signals fibroblasts, the cells that make collagen and elastin, to ramp up new production

  • Gradually firms and thickens the tissue from within


This collagen remodeling process improves skin elasticity, texture, and firmness over the weeks and months after treatment.


Temperature Controlled Skin Heating

One of the reasons Forma and Forma Plus are so popular is the built in temperature control. The device continuously monitors your skin temperature and adjusts energy in real time to keep it in the ideal therapeutic range.

That means:

  • Even, consistent heating across the treatment area

  • Optimized tightening without over treating or under treating

  • Extra safety and comfort for sensitive areas


Immediate and Long Term Results

Forma Plus gives you a blend of right now and later results:

  • Immediately after treatment: Existing collagen fibers contract slightly, so skin can look subtly tighter and smoother.

  • Over several weeks to months: New collagen and elastin form, creating firmer, more lifted skin and better contour.


Most clients love that the change is natural looking and gradual. You simply look more toned and refreshed, not like you suddenly had obvious work done.

Areas Treated with Forma Plus

One of the biggest advantages of Forma Plus skin tightening is its versatility. It can be used on both face and body to address mild to moderate laxity and crepey texture.


Forma for Face and Neck

While Forma Plus is designed for larger body zones, Forma technology is also used for smaller areas, especially when clients search for Forma for face or want a non invasive lift. Common facial areas include:

  • Forehead

  • Around the eyes

  • Cheeks and smile lines

  • Jawline and jowls

  • Neck


Benefits can include:

  • Softer fine lines and wrinkles

  • More defined jawline

  • Less neck laxity

  • Overall smoother, tighter skin appearance


Body Contouring Areas

Forma Plus really shines when it comes to body contouring and tightening stretched or lax skin after weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging. Typical treatment areas include:

  • Abdomen and waist

  • Upper arms

  • Inner and outer thighs

  • Buttocks and under butt area

  • Knees


These are the places where skin often loses elasticity even when you are at a healthy weight. Forma Plus focuses on firming that tissue so your contours look smoother and more toned.

Hands and Décolletage

Hands and chest are some of the first areas to reveal age, yet they are often overlooked. Forma and Forma Plus can help improve:

  • Crepey skin on the backs of the hands

  • Horizontal lines and fine wrinkles on the décolletage

  • Overall texture and firmness in these delicate zones


Forma Plus Treatment Cost

Because cost is one of the most common questions, let us get straight to it.

At Le Jolie Medi Spa in West Hollywood, Forma Plus body skin tightening typically starts in the mid hundreds per session, with package pricing that reduces the per treatment cost when you commit to a series. Exact pricing can vary based on the area treated and the number of sessions in your plan, but most clients find that packages offer the best value.


Average Session Pricing

Across the industry, Forma and Forma Plus sessions usually fall within a broad range that reflects:

  • The region and local market

  • Whether the area is facial or body

  • The expertise of the provider and the overall experience


Le Jolie’s pricing reflects:

  • Premium technology and techniques

  • Experienced aesthetic providers

  • A curated luxury med spa environment in West Hollywood


Treatment Package Options

Because collagen remodeling is a process, most clients will see best results with a series of sessions. Your provider will usually recommend:

  • A series of about 6 to 8 treatments, typically spaced around one week apart

  • Optional maintenance sessions a few times per year to keep collagen levels supported

Package options offer better value than booking one treatment at a time, which is why many clients prefer a series from the start.

Cost Factors by Treatment Area

Your Forma Plus treatment cost depends on several variables:

  • Treatment area size: Larger zones like abdomen or thighs require more time and energy per session.

  • Number of sessions needed: Most people benefit from multiple treatments to build and remodel collagen.

  • Provider location and expertise: High demand locations like West Hollywood, and experienced providers, may charge more but also tend to deliver more consistent results.

  • Combination treatments: Pairing Forma Plus with other services such as Morpheus8 Body, Evolve, or BodyFX can improve outcomes and affect overall investment.


Benefits of Non Invasive Forma Plus Skin Tightening

Forma Plus is popular for a reason. It offers meaningful tightening and smoothing without surgery or extended recovery. Key benefits include:

  • No downtime: You can return to work, workouts, and social plans right after your session.

  • Comfortable treatment: Most clients describe it as a warm, massage like sensation.

  • Safe for all skin types: RF energy is color blind, so it can be used safely across diverse skin tones.

  • Natural looking results: Gradual collagen remodeling means your skin looks refreshed, not overdone.

  • Minimal side effects: Temporary redness or warmth that typically resolves within a few hours.

  • Versatile application: Effective for both face and body concerns and pairs well with other non invasive treatments.


Am I a Good Candidate for Forma Plus?

Forma Plus is ideal if you want firmer, smoother skin without surgery. The best candidates are usually dealing with mild to moderate skin laxity, not severe sagging that would require surgical lifting.

You may be a great candidate if:

  • You are experiencing early signs of aging or skin laxity on face or body

  • You want a preventative anti aging treatment to keep skin firm for longer

  • You are post pregnancy and want to tighten abdominal or arm skin

  • You have lost weight and notice loose or crepey skin that will not bounce back on its own

  • You want to avoid surgery, scars, and extended recovery time


Forma Plus may not be suitable for:

  • Pregnant women

  • Anyone with a pacemaker or certain metal implants in the treatment area

  • Individuals with severe skin laxity who are better served by surgical tightening

  • Some medical conditions that make heat based treatments unsafe


Your provider will always review your medical history and goals before clearing you for treatment.


What to Expect During Forma Plus Treatment

Knowing exactly what to expect can make your first session feel much more relaxed. At Le Jolie, we keep the experience comfortable, luxurious, and very approachable.

Before Your Session

Preparation is simple. Typically, you will be asked to:

  • Arrive with clean skin on the area being treated

  • Avoid lotions, oils, or makeup on the treatment zone

  • Skip tanning and heavy sun exposure for at least a few days before your appointment


Your provider will review your goals, assess your skin, and design a personalized treatment plan.

During the Treatment

A typical Forma Plus session feels like a warm, relaxing massage using a handheld device:

  • A conductive gel is applied to help the applicator glide smoothly

  • The device moves in slow, controlled passes while RF energy gently heats the tissue

  • You feel a comfortable warmth that builds gradually and stays steady

  • Session time varies by area but often ranges from 30 to 60 minutes

Many clients use this time to unwind, scroll, or even nap.


After Your Session

Right after treatment, you can expect:

  • Mild redness or warmth in the area that fades within a few hours

  • A slight tightened sensation in the skin

  • Immediate return to regular activities, including work, workouts, and makeup application


There is no special downtime protocol beyond basic sunscreen and gentle skincare.

Forma Skin Tightening Before and After Results

If you are searching for Forma skin tightening before and after, you are likely looking for realistic expectations. While every body is different, most clients notice:

  • Firmer, smoother skin texture

  • Reduced appearance of fine lines or crepey areas

  • More lifted contours on the jawline, abdomen, arms, or thighs

  • A more defined, toned overall appearance


Typical timeline:

  • Immediately after: Slight tightening and a glow from heat and increased circulation.

  • First few weeks: Subtle, continuous improvements as collagen production increases.

  • Two to three months: Peak results as collagen remodeling and firming reach their best point.
