How It Works.
Here’s how we do it at Forme
It starts with a consultation:
We will start your skin journey off by getting to know you: your skin, your current/past products, your concerns and your goals. This will allow us to make recommendations for you that are customized to your needs and are best suited for you!
Results are in:
Now that we know more about your skin - the journey you have been on, what has worked/hasn’t worked - we can get you started. First things first, home-care. Your at-home routine is vital to your results; home-care makes up about 80% of your progress! We all send you home with a routine built just for you so you can get started right away.
Your treatment plan:
Along with your new products, you will be sent home with a customized treatment plan detailing a roadmap that we will use to meet your skin goals and bring your skin to its healthiest state yet!
Begin treatment:
Before you leave from your consultation we will get you booked for your first in-house treatment at Forme.
Maintain:
Once your skin has reached a state of health + homeostasis and is no longer requiring intensive treatment you will be moved to “Maintenance”: where you will come in semi-regularly for follow-up treatments and continue home-care.
Why Consult?
Receiving a consultation is crucial when desiring to see changes in your skin. In order to properly provide a customized treatment plan and home-care routine, it is necessary to first understand the current state of the skin as well as know what the desired outcome is. During a consultation, we will go over your personal skin goals, your skin history, products you are currently using or have tried in the past, and more to get to know your skin better. During this time you will be able to ask questions, learn about your skin and about our products and get to know us better as well.
At-Home Care:
We cannot stress this enough: home-care is absolutely vital to your skin progress. You will see us at most 24 times a year - your skin sees “you” twice a day, or 730 times a year. Consider treatments as targeted boosters - we use the treatment to initiate a process internally in which your home-care will carry results. The products you use every day and the treatment your skin receives from you makes up approximately 80% of your progress. In situations where you are opting to save money or cut corners, we will always recommend an at-home routine over a couple treatments.
Intensive VS. Maintenance Treatments
During your consultation we will determine together, based off of your current skin health and your goals, whether you will be best suited for our Intensive Treatment Program or Our Maintenance Treatment Program.
Intensive Treatment Program:
Our Intensive Programs are made for people who are looking to improve: acne, rosacea, melasma, fine lines/wrinkles, sun damage/age spots and acne scarring/discoloration. The intensive programs consist 1) establishing a stable, healthy, environment for skin to heal in by improving microbiome function and repairing the skin barrier 2) targeting specific concerns with in-office treatments 3) re-establishing microbiome and barrier function before moving into maintenance protocol. During your Program you will be using professionally recommended at-home products to ensure treatment results.
Maintenance Treatment Program:
Maintenance Programs are best suited for individuals who are not in need of specialized care and/or are not looking to improve skin condition/look but rather are seeking to improve skin overall health and maintain current state of skin. Even our Intensive Program “graduates” will fall into maintenance program eventually once their skin has reached a state of health and homeostasis where their skin is no longer needing such targeted treatment. Maintenance Program will have you continue or start a curated at-home routine and will hav you coming into the office semi-regularly to asses, make adjustments and receive maintenance treatments.
