Profound Skin Tightening
As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag around the face, jawline and neck. The aging process starts in our mid-20s. Lifestyle, diet, sun exposure, and smoking often act together with the normal aging process to prematurely age our skin. Luckily, we now have Profound RF Skin Tightening, which can be used on the face or body, to non-surgically tighten the skin to turn back the hands of time.
How Does Profound RF Work?
Profound RF is a minimally invasive treatment designed to help people who have sagging or loose skin. Profound can be used almost anywhere on the body. Profound is a device with tiny needles, much like microneedling. Once the needles are in the skin, radiofrequency (RF) is emitted from the tips of the needles. This causes controlled heating of the deep dermal layer of the skin, which stimulates collagen and elastin formation, thus tightening the skin.
In studies, Profound treatments had a 100% response rate for wrinkles and a 95% response rate for skin laxity.
Profound skin tightening has been measured to be about 1/3 of a surgical face lift.

What Happens During a Profound Treatment?
Profound treatments are performed in our office using local anesthesia only. The face is first numbed with local anesthesia. The treatment takes about 1 hour to perform depending on the size of the area treated.
What is the Profound Skin Tightening Recovery Time?
Discomfort is minimal after treatment and patients may take Tylenol if needed. We apply Bacitracin ointment for the first 24 hours and ask patients to sleep with their head elevated. Patients have some redness and bruising on the face after the treatment which can last from a few days up to a week. Patients can expect some degree of swelling (edema) which can last from 1-2 weeks. Patients can resume exercise after a few days.
How Long do Profound Results Last?
Collagen and elastin are created during the Profound treatment. Some patients see very early tightening of the skin even a few weeks after the treatment. For the full creation of collagen and elastin, as well as skin remodeling, this takes about 3 months. Results can last over 3 years.
