How Profound RF Treatment Works
The Profound procedure combines radiofrequency and microneedling for advanced skin tightening and rejuvenation. The Profound temperature-controlled device penetrates the several layers of the dermis with microneedles and releases pulses of heat in the form of radiofrequency energy. This process stimulates dermal remodeling by accelerating the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin, and results in smoother, tighter, and more lifted-looking skin.
Profound Procedure
Profound is usually performed as a single-session, out-patient treatment. Facial procedures can be comfortably tolerated with a local anesthetic while other areas of the body may require IV sedation. Because the body stimulates collagen and elastic tissue over time, many patients see improvements spanning over several months. Additionally, most patients see peak results within six to nine months, though many are able to see the first signs of improvement in as little as two weeks.
Profound Recovery
The healing process is different for each patient, but after Profound treatment patients typically experience about 4-6 days of downtime due to swelling, but can otherwise return to normal activity immediately.
Profound Results
While individual results may vary, Profound treatment has been found to have a 100% response rate for wrinkles and a 95% for laxity at 6 months post-treatment. Many patients choose to enhance their results by adding other non-surgical face and neck procedures or injectables such as Botox and fillers to their treatment plan as well as one of our medical-grade skincare regimens.
