Forma Cellulite Treatment in London
Cellulite affects approximately 85-90% of post-pubertal women, manifesting as dimpled, orange-peel textured skin primarily on the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen. At Aesthetic Clinic London, our advanced Forma cellulite treatment utilises radiofrequency technology to address the underlying structural causes of cellulite formation, delivering clinically proven results through controlled thermal stimulation of dermal and subcutaneous tissues.
The treatment targets fibrous septae that create the characteristic dimpling effect whilst simultaneously promoting collagen synthesis and improving lymphatic drainage. Our medical-grade Forma system delivers precise heating at therapeutic temperatures of 40-45°C, ensuring optimal tissue remodelling without compromising patient safety or comfort.

Before and After Forma Cellulite Treatment
Clinical outcomes demonstrate measurable improvements in skin texture, firmness, and dimpling reduction. Patients typically observe initial changes within 2-3 weeks, with progressive enhancement continuing for 3-6 months post-treatment completion.
Key Results:
- Objective measurements using standardised photography and skin elasticity testing reveal average improvements of 35-60% in skin smoothness parameters
- The most significant changes occur in Grade II and Grade III cellulite presentations, where fibrous septae reorganisation creates visible surface improvements
- Long-term follow-up studies indicate sustained results for 12-18 months when combined with appropriate maintenance protocols
- Patients report enhanced skin confidence and improved clothing fit, particularly in areas previously affected by moderate to severe dimpling patterns
What is Forma Cellulite Treatment?
Forma represents a monopolar radiofrequency technology specifically engineered for cellulite reduction and skin tightening applications. The Forma device generates controlled electromagnetic energy at 1MHz frequency, penetrating 2-4mm into dermal and subcutaneous layers to achieve therapeutic heating zones.
Unlike traditional cellulite interventions that address surface symptoms, this treatment that uses radiofrequency targets the underlying pathophysiology. Cellulite formation involves:
- Weakened connective tissue structures
- Compromised microcirculation
- Altered fat cell architecture within subcutaneous compartments
The treatment creates controlled thermal injury that stimulates fibroblast activation, promoting new collagen and elastin formation and strengthening the dermal-subcutaneous junction. This highly effective approach is suitable for all skin types and addresses skin laxity whilst targeting cellulite.
Real-time temperature monitoring ensures consistent therapeutic heating whilst advanced cooling mechanisms protect the epidermis from thermal damage. This dual-action approach allows for deeper tissue penetration without surface complications, distinguishing Forma RF from laser treatment alternatives.
Forma Cellulite Treatment Process: Step by Step
Initial Assessment and Planning Comprehensive evaluation includes cellulite severity grading using standardised classification systems, skin elasticity measurements, and photographic documentation. Medical history review identifies contraindications and establishes realistic outcome expectations through a personalised treatment plan.
Pre-treatment Preparation
- Treatment areas undergo thorough cleansing
- Application of conductive gel to ensure optimal energy transmission
- Skin temperature baseline measurements establish individual thermal response parameters
Radiofrequency Application The Forma handpiece delivers controlled energy through circular motions across treatment zones. Temperature monitoring maintains therapeutic ranges of 40-45°C throughout the 20-30 minute session. This comfortable treatment allows patients to experience warming sensations rather than painful stimulation.
Post-treatment Protocol
- Immediate post-treatment care includes application of cooling agents and hydrating serums
- Patients receive specific aftercare instructions including hydration recommendations
- Activity modifications for optimal healing – requires no downtime, allowing return to daily activities immediately
Follow-up Monitoring Scheduled assessments at 2-week intervals monitor treatment response and adjust subsequent session parameters based on individual tissue adaptation patterns.
Benefits of Forma Cellulite Treatment
Collagen Synthesis Enhancement Controlled thermal stimulation activates fibroblast proliferation, increasing Types I and III collagen production by 25-40% within treated tissues. This enhanced collagen framework provides improved structural support, reducing the appearance of dimpling and surface irregularities.
Microcirculation Improvement Radiofrequency energy promotes vasodilation and lymphatic drainage enhancement, addressing the compromised circulation patterns associated with cellulite formation. Improved tissue oxygenation supports cellular metabolism and waste product elimination.
Non-invasive Treatment Approach
- Treatment requires no anaesthesia, incisions, or extended recovery periods
- Patients resume normal activities immediately post-treatment
- Suitable for individuals with demanding professional or personal schedules
- Without the need for invasive procedures or risk of infection
Cumulative Results Progressive improvement occurs over multiple sessions, with each treatment building upon previous tissue modifications. This gradual approach ensures natural-appearing results without the dramatic changes associated with surgical interventions. Results can last 12-18 months with proper maintenance.
Safety Profile
- Extensive clinical trials demonstrate minimal adverse events when treatments are performed by qualified practitioners
- Temperature monitoring and real-time feedback mechanisms prevent thermal injury whilst maintaining therapeutic efficacy
- Patients may experience mild redness in the treated area, which typically resolves within hours

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Forma cellulite treatments are typically required for optimal results?
Most patients achieve significant improvement with 6-8 treatment sessions scheduled at 1-2 week intervals. Individual requirements vary based on:
- Cellulite severity
- Skin characteristics
- Desired outcome levels
Grade I cellulite may respond favourably to 4-6 sessions, whilst Grade III presentations often require 8-10 treatments for optimal results. Treatment response assessment at 4-session intervals allows for protocol adjustment based on individual tissue adaptation patterns. Results may vary between individuals.
What sensations should I expect during Forma cellulite treatment?
The sensation during treatment includes:
- Comfortable warming sensations as the radiofrequency energy heats deeper tissue layers
- Treatment feels similar to a warm stone massage
- Gradually increasing temperature that remains well within comfortable tolerance levels
- Temperature monitoring systems maintain therapeutic heating ranges whilst preventing excessive thermal sensation
Most patients find the treatment relaxing rather than uncomfortable, often comparing it to heated spa treatments.
Are there any contraindications or restrictions for Forma cellulite treatment?
Absolute contraindications include:
- Pregnancy
- Active malignancy in treatment areas
- Cardiac pacemaker devices
Relative contraindications encompass:
- Active skin infections
- Recent sun exposure resulting in tanning
- Certain autoimmune conditions affecting wound healing
- Patients taking blood-thinning medications require medical clearance prior to treatment
Thorough medical history review during consultation identifies potential contraindications and ensures treatment safety.
How long do Forma cellulite treatment results typically last?
Clinical studies demonstrate sustained improvement for 12-18 months following treatment completion. Result longevity depends on various factors including:
- Age and hormonal status
- Lifestyle factors
- Genetic predisposition to cellulite formation
Maintenance treatments every 3-4 months help preserve outcomes and prevent cellulite recurrence. Patients who maintain stable weight and engage in regular physical activity typically experience longer-lasting results. This effective treatment helps rejuvenate dimpled skin and improve the appearance of treated areas, creating smoother skin and a more youthful appearance.
