What Is Profound RF Microneedling?

Profound RF microneedling is an advanced, minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. It combines the collagen induction therapy of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to provide long-lasting facial wrinkle reduction and skin tightening on the face, neck, and body.

Profound Cellulite Treatment

RF energy also smooths irregular contours caused by cellulite and skin laxity. Profound is the first and only microneedling device with FDA clearance for the face and body that reduces the appearance of cellulite in unwanted areas with as little as a single treatment.

What Does Profound Treat?

Profound treats a number of different concerns on the face and body, including:

  • Sagging jowls
  • Skin laxity under the neck
  • Double chin
  • Loose or sagging skin on the body
  • Cellulite

Other options for treating a double chin include KYBELLA®, which dissolves fat under the chin. If you are looking for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction, you may also want to consider a laser skin resurfacing treatment. At your cosmetic consultation, our experienced aesthetic providers will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for you.

How Does Profound RF Microneedling Work?

Regular microneedling improves skin texture and firmness by creating microinjuries in the surface that increase collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. Profound RF boosts this effect by releasing RF energy through the tips of the needles deep into the underlying layers of the skin. Heat from the RF energy causes constriction and tightening of the skin and stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production deeper than microneedling alone.

What Is Profound RF Recovery Like?

You can expect about 7 to 10 days of social downtime after a Profound treatment. Redness, swelling, and mild bruising are common but typically subside on their own within about a week. You may be able to camouflage any remaining redness with makeup and return to office work in just a few days.

Is RF Microneedling Better Than Microneedling?

RF energy makes the effects of microneedling penetrate deeper into the skin. The results from Profound treatments develop faster and are more dramatic than microneedling alone; however, Profound requires at least a week of social downtime, while microneedling alone does not.

What to Expect During Your Profound Treatment

Your provider will start by applying a local anesthetic to make sure you are comfortable throughout your session. He or she will then pass the device over your skin, creating tiny punctures and delivering RF energy into the deeper levels of your dermis. Depending on the number and size of the areas you are treating, your procedure may take between 1 and 3 hours. The face and neck typically take 90 minutes to treat, whereas cellulite treatments typically take 2.5 to 3 hours.
