How does Profound® RF Microneedling work?

Profound® is a single treatment, performed by a physician in about an hour. Heat energy is delivered to the deeper skin layers, carefully heating the skin’s elastin and collagen to a precise temperature for an exact amount of time.

This leads to the creation of new elastin and collagen to repair aging skin as well as increase hyaluronic acid. Since you are rebuilding your body’s own natural building blocks, you can achieve lasting results. In fact, studies have demonstrated results from one Profound® treatment can be maintained for up to and over 2 years.

Clinical Results

FREQUESNTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• How many treatments will I need?

  You will only need ONE treatment to rejuvenate your skin with Profound®.

• How long will the results last?

  The Profound® treatment promotes the natural production of new elastin and collagen and other components of healthy skin over time. Therefore, most patients report seeing improvement 6-8 weeks after treatment. But, because new elastin and collagen require time to fully develop, optimal results will not be observed for at least 3-6 months after treatment. Results usually last for 2-3 years. However, there are a number of factors that will determine how long you can expect the results to last. In addition, to routine skin care and avoidance of direct prolonged sun exposure, we also recommend yearly laser facial treatments to continue stimulating collagen production and help maintain results.

• What can I expect after treatment?

  After the treatment, you can expect to return to normal activities the next day. There is no medical downtime. Any minor redness, swelling, or bruising from treatment can typically be covered with makeup within 24-48 hours. Bruising can last 5-7 days depending on individual factors.

• Is a Profound® treatment right for me?

  Ideal candidates for Profound® are people who are seeking to reduce or prevent the signs of aging. In clinical studies, Profound® treatments had a 100% response rate for wrinkles and a 95% response rate for skin laxity. Not all potential patients will be appropriate candidates. During the consultation, our physician will review your aesthetic goals and medical history to determine if Profound® is an appropriate option for you.
