GET TIGHT WITHOUT THE TUCK

Which radio frequency treatment is right for you?
If you’ve been hearing buzz about radio frequency (RF) treatments like Morpheus8 and Forma but aren’t sure what’s what – especially when it comes to Caribbean skin – you’re not alone.
Both these skin tightening treatments are safe, non-invasive, and effective for melanin-rich skin when administered by trained professionals, but they differ in approach and serve slightly different purposes. Here’s your guide to choosing the one that fits your skincare goals.
Deeply rejuvenate with Morpheus8
Best for:
Acne scars
Deep wrinkles and fine lines
Sagging skin (jawline, neck, eyes)
Stretch marks
Skin texture and tone
How it works
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radio frequency to remodel collagen from deep within the skin. Tiny needles deliver RF energy beneath the epidermis, promoting tightness, smoothing, and even lifting.
What to expect
Numbing before the procedure
Mild swelling or redness (1-3 days)
Results that get even better with time (3-6 months)
Get your glow with Forma RF Facials
Best for:
Mild skin laxity
Dullness
Maintenance between treatments
Clients who are fairly new new to skin procedures
How it works
Forma uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen in the upper layers of the skin. It feels like a warm massage and leaves you with an instant glow.
The gel we apply during this amazing treatment heats the skin to help stimulate both collagen and elastin, and gives a nice tightening effect – especially just before important events. It’s also a great primer for Morpheus8, and can also be done after Morpheus treatments for maintenance.
What to expect
No downtime
Can be done weekly or as needed
Great before events or photo shoots
Pairs beautifully with facials or peels
