Achieve Firmer and Younger-Looking Skin with Forma RF Skin Tightening in Royal Oak, MI

Over time, most of us develop a love-hate relationship with the natural aging process. On one hand, we view it as a beautiful experience that opens us up to so many new things – wisdom, knowledge, purpose, memories, and a greater understanding of who we are and what we mean to the Royal Oak community. 

But, you know what they say, every rose has its thorn. And, while the natural aging process has a lot of thorns, one of the prickliest ones is its effect on skin health. Fine lines, wrinkles, and irregularities take center stage, while the skin loses its elasticity, flexibility, strength, tightness, and youthful appearance.

This might sound like a horror story, but it doesn’t have to be – not with the technology we have today. While we can’t necessarily hide from the natural aging process, there are various things we can do to run from it – treatments, technologies, and lifestyle changes designed to protect and preserve your skin. 

Collagen Chronicles: How Collagen Helps You Turn Back the Clock on Aging 

Let’s talk about collagen – the most abundant protein in the body. It’s what gives your skin, muscles, bones, tissues, and other ligaments the strength and support they need to function properly. Collagen is hard at work everywhere you go – helping you look and feel younger, healthier, happier, and more radiant.

That’s all well and good, but collagen is a lot like an iPhone – in the sense that it isn’t built to last forever. Collagen levels tend to peak in our early- to mid-20s, but something happens by the time we turn 30 – collagen levels start to decline, and our existing collagen starts to break down at a much more rapid rate.

Don’t worry – here are some natural ways you can start boosting collagen production today:

• Consume foods rich in Vitamin C (citrus, bell peppers, berries)
• Consume foods rich in Proline (egg whites, wheat germ, dairy, mushrooms, asparagus)
• Consume foods rich in Glycine (chicken skin, gelatin, pork skin, bone broth)
• Eat a protein-rich diet with a heavy focus on complete proteins
• Wear sunscreen with a high SPF – when it’s sunny out, of course
• Try using skincare products that contain peptides, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors
• Give your face regular massages, either with your fingers or with jade rollers
• Make sure you’re drinking enough water on a daily basis
• Avoid smoking tobacco and adopt healthier habits in your life

There comes a time when your efforts might not be enough, but don’t let that discourage you – it’s nothing more than the natural aging process running its course. If you feel like Father Time is starting to get a leg up on you, that just means it’s time to turn to technology – after all, it is Father Time’s greatest enemy. 

Collagen Loss + Forma RF = Youthful Skin

By now, you may or may not have heard of Forma RF. It’s a revolutionary skin-tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) technology to rejuvenate, revive, restore, and revitalize the skin. The device was launched by InMode – the same state-of-the-art company that brought us the Morpheus8 device. 

So, how does Forma RF work? The RF device utilizes safe levels of low-frequency electromagnetic waves to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, which stimulates collagen production and sends it to the scene – tightening, firming, and regenerating the skin. 

Here are some of the most prominent benefits of Forma RF: 

• Non-invasive procedure that avoids the use of needles or the need for incisions
• The procedure only takes 30 minutes to an hour from start to finish
• Improves skin tightness, firmness, texture, and elasticity
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and irregularities
• No downtime or recovery period is needed
• Results can be seen and/or felt after the first session and will only get better as you continue
• Uses real-time temperature-monitoring mechanisms to ensure accuracy and efficacy
• Suitable for all skin types

Forma RF, also known as the ‘Red Carpet Facial,’ is a non-invasive procedure that takes anywhere between 30 minutes and a full hour. Most people notice a difference after the first treatment, but results can take several weeks to truly show. With more collagen, your skin can finally take a deep breath again.
