Profound® RF

Profound RF is a clinically proven and potent solution for enhancing skin tightness, refining jawline contours, and reducing cellulite.

Your Path to Renewed Skin

Harnessing the benefits of radiofrequency heat and microneedling, the Profound RF treatment effectively tightens skin and kickstarts natural collagen production. This innovative technology refines jawline contours, enhances mid and lower facial smoothness, and reduces cellulite dimples, providing comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

What Is Profound RF?

Profound RF targets the reticular dermis, energizing it to enhance the production of three vital components for youthful skin: elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. This treatment yields significant results, including up to five times more elastin, twice as much collagen, and increased hyaluronic acid levels. It is particularly effective for tightening skin on the face and body, addressing concerns such as vertical lip lines and cellulite, and reducing fat under the chin (double chin) without affecting skin pigmentation. Other areas that can benefit from increased elastin include the skin around the knees, lower abdomen, and the buttocks-upper thigh region, where enhanced firmness can be achieved.

How It Works

The Profound RF radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device integrates two critical elements for skin rejuvenation: it utilizes longer insulated needles rather than fine microneedles and delivers controlled heating through radiofrequency. The device dynamically adjusts energy delivery based on immediate skin response, ensuring precise treatment efficacy and safety. This precise heating, reaching up to 69 degrees Celsius, targets the dermal layer to initially contract collagen and subsequently stimulate its production. Collagen stimulation occurs immediately post-procedure and peaks at 3-4 months, driven by the body's immune response.

What to Expect From Profound RF

This procedure emphasizes minimal discomfort and is often performed with local anesthesia for patient comfort. The device utilizes a single cartridge with five pairs of insulated needles angled to maximize skin contact. Controlled by a computer, the handheld device, equipped with ultrafine needles, gently delivers radiofrequency energy at a precise temperature, ensuring efficient dermal heating while protecting the epidermis. The treatment is precise and tailored to address your specific concerns, whether on the face, neck, or body. It typically lasts about half an hour, with needles withdrawn and repositioned as needed throughout the session.

Profound® RF Aftercare

Expect some bruising during the initial week following the procedure, with gradual tightening observed thereafter. Many of our patients return to their daily activities immediately, with minimal downtime required. Swelling may persist for 2-4 days before subsiding, and bruising can take 7-12 days to resolve. Most patients can apply makeup starting around day 4-5. Over the coming weeks and months, as collagen continues to rebuild, you'll notice gradual improvements in skin texture and firmness. The results are natural-looking and long-lasting, enhancing your overall complexion.
