What is Skin Tightening with Radiofrequency?
As we age, our skin loses its collagen and elastin from years of sun exposure as well as the natural aging process. This gives the skin an unwanted crepey or saggy appearance. For many years effective skin tightening procedures have been elusive.
Tightening skin requires collagen stimulation and this can be achieved with lasers, ultrasound, and now radio frequency. Technology has continued to advance, but older treatments such as ultrasound and lasers have been painful and only moderately effective at electrical muscle stimulation. Now, with radiofrequency skin tightening with Forma and EVOLVEX Transform, you can have great results with no pain or downtime.
The most common areas to use EVOLVEX Transform are the arms, legs, and abdomen, while the Forma is used on the more delicate areas of the face. Most other areas of the body that you are experiencing laxity can also be treated.
EVOLVEX Procedure
EVOLVEX Transform is the newest technology for skin tightening and body sculpting. It uses radiofrequency delivery to different layers of the skin to heat and stimulate collagen, thereby tightening the skin. The EVOLVEX Transform body contouring procedure simultaneously places up to eight applicators in the treatment zone to stimulate involuntary muscle contractions and deliver tightening to loose skin. After 30-45 minutes, the applicators are removed and can be used to treat other body areas if desired in another session.
The Forma Procedure
Janiga MD is honored to offer the most advanced noninvasive tightening technology currently available for their Reno patients: radiofrequency tightening with Forma. Forma is bipolar radiofrequency, which delivers heat and radio frequency synergistically to the skin on the face and neck to provide tighter skin texture with no pain and no downtime. This advanced technology has been revolutionary for noninvasive skin tightening and collagen production.
Forma
Forma is a new skin tightening technique to replenish collagen and elastin.
At Janiga MDs, Dr. Timothy Janiga specializes in plastic surgery and Dr. Jennifer Janiga specializes in dermatology, giving their practice a unique, comprehensive perspective on their patients’ cosmetic needs in the Reno, Nevada area.

Recovery & Results
This procedure does not require any topical numbing and is painless. You will feel a slight warming sensation of the skin as the applicator or wand is applied to the treated area. There will be some redness of the treated skin afterward, but no downtime is associated with this treatment.
As with most non-invasive procedures, a package of treatments is recommended. As we lose collagen as we age, you may desire to repeat treatments in the future to maintain your results.
