Ocular Aesthetics Forma-I: Frequently Asked Questions

At Gee Eye Care, we’re proud to offer Forma-I, an advanced treatment that not only helps manage dry eye disease caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) but also provides cosmetic rejuvenation around the eyes. Forma-I combines eye health and aesthetics in one gentle, non-surgical procedure - improving comfort and appearance simultaneously. Below are answers to some of the most common questions patients ask about this innovative treatment.
 

What Is Forma-I and How Does It Work?

Forma-I is a non-surgical, FDA-cleared radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to improve circulation and restore gland function in the periorbital (around the eyes) area. The gentle heat from the RF energy melts thickened oils that clog the meibomian glands, which are essential for keeping the eyes properly lubricated. In addition to treating dry eye symptoms, the same RF energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
 

What Does the Treatment Feel Like?

Most patients describe Forma-I as a comfortable, warm massage around the eyes. During the session, you’ll feel a gentle, warming sensation and mild pressure. The experience is relaxing, and no anesthesia or numbing cream is typically needed.
 

How Long Does a Session Take?

Each Forma-I session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, making it a quick and convenient treatment to fit into your schedule.
 

What Can I Expect After the Treatment?

You may experience mild redness or sensitivity in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and fade within a few hours. There is no downtime, so you can return to work or your daily activities immediately. Many patients notice instant improvement in eye comfort and a refreshed, smoother appearance around the eyes.
 

How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?

A series of four sessions, spaced about two to three weeks apart, is recommended for best results. After completing the initial series, maintenance treatments twice per year can help sustain the benefits.
 

How Long Do the Results Last?

Forma-I provides long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms and visible cosmetic enhancements. The duration of results varies depending on individual factors, such as skincare routine and environmental conditions, but regular maintenance sessions can help preserve your results.
 

Are There Any Side Effects?

Forma-I is considered safe and gentle. The most common side effects - temporary redness or mild swelling - typically resolve within hours. Serious side effects are extremely rare when performed by trained professionals.
 

Can Forma-I Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes. Forma-I can be safely combined with other aesthetic procedures, such as IPL to enhance results. Your doctor can determine the most effective treatment plan based on your eye health and cosmetic goals.
