How often should I get a Forma treatment?

Frequency depends on your skin concerns and goals. Light treatments can be done monthly, while deeper treatments may be spaced farther apart.

Most patients find Forma to be comfortable and even relaxing. You’ll feel warmth, but it’s not painful.

What skin types are best for Forma?

Forma is safe and effective for all skin types and tones.

Radiant results start in the treatment room — but they last with what you do at home.

There’s nothing like that post-facial freshness or the smooth confidence after a professional peel. But how you care for your skin between appointments plays a huge role in maintaining those results.

At Mirror Mirror Med Spa, we want every guest to feel empowered — not just in the spa, but in their daily routine. Here are five expert-approved habits that help extend the benefits of your treatments and keep your skin glowing longer.

1. Protect Your Investment with Daily SPF

Sun exposure is one of the fastest ways to undo med spa results — especially after lasers, peels, or injectables.

Smart SPF habits:

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30
Apply it every morning, even on cloudy days or indoors
Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside

Look for formulas with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for gentle yet effective protection. Sunscreen is your #1 anti-aging product — and your treatment’s best friend.

2. Upgrade to Medical-Grade Skincare

Drugstore products can be hit or miss. Professional treatments deserve professional-grade support.

Why medical-grade products matter:

Higher concentrations of active ingredients
Formulated to penetrate deeper and support healing
Backed by clinical research, not just marketing

Your provider can recommend a regimen that works with your skin type and goals. It’s like giving your skin a power team to work with your treatments.

3. Stay Consistent with Hydration

Hydrated skin heals better, looks plumper, and glows longer — especially after treatments like microneedling or fillers.

Boost your hydration by:

Drinking plenty of water daily
Using a hyaluronic acid serum under moisturizer
Avoiding dehydrating ingredients like alcohol or harsh scrubs

Glowing skin is healthy skin — and hydration is at the heart of both.

4. Respect the Healing Process

Tempted to exfoliate or try something new right after your treatment? Pause. Your skin needs time to recover.

Best post-treatment practices:

Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or active acids for 3–5 days (unless advised otherwise)
Let peeling or flaking happen naturally — don’t pick!
Keep skin cool and clean (no hot yoga or saunas)

Following aftercare instructions protects your investment and ensures the best results possible.

5. Keep a Regular Rhythm — Not a One-Off Mindset

Skin thrives on consistency. Think of your med spa journey like fitness: one workout is great, but a routine builds lasting strength.

Build momentum by:

Scheduling maintenance treatments (like facials or boosters)
Checking in with your provider as seasons or skin needs change
Treating your skincare routine as a ritual, not a chore

Consistency is confidence. And your future self will thank you.

FAQs

Do I really need to wear sunscreen even if I’m not outside much?
Yes — UV rays can come through windows and affect your skin indoors. Daily SPF is essential.
What’s the difference between medical-grade skincare and over-the-counter?
Medical-grade products have more potent active ingredients and are designed to deliver results faster and more effectively.
How soon after a treatment can I use exfoliants or actives again?
Usually after 3–7 days, but your provider will give you personalized guidance based on your treatment.
Can I use makeup right after my appointment?
It depends on the treatment. For many facials, light makeup is okay the next day. After microneedling or lasers, it’s best to wait 24–48 hours.
How often should I return for maintenance treatments?
It varies by service, but many guests benefit from monthly facials or quarterly skin boosters. We’ll help build a plan that fits your goals and schedule.
