PROFOUND
TM
Dramatically reduces the signs of aging skin
What is Profound™?
Profound™ is an energy-based, skin needling treatment. It's designed to create new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid - the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic. It's a great treatment to improving aging skin, especially jowls or saggy skin along the jaw line.
How does it work?
Profound™, an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure for all skin types, is the first skin treatment available that addresses the loss of all three elements of your skin. This procedure delivers fractionated radiofrequency energy directly into the deep skin layers where most of the collagen and elastin is located. When the heat reaches this area, it helps increase cellular production. This means collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid all see an increase in development, which in turn helps your body naturally fill in wrinkles and fine lines. It will also help firm up the skin.
What results can I expect?
Profound™ is clinically proven to create younger looking skin. Studies by Syneron Candela (the manufacturer of Profound) show a 100% response rate for reducing the appearance of fine Ines and wrinkles, and 95% response rate for improving sagging skin.

When will I see results?
Results are typically visible 12 weeks post-treatment once the skin has moved through its natural healing process. Optimum results appear at six to nine months.
Does it hurt?
Prior to treatment, local anesthetic injections are used to optimize comfort during the procedure. There is a recovery time after the treatment with most patients experiencing some minor discomfort including redness, swelling, or bruising for 7 to 10 days.

What areas can Profound be formed?
Profound™ can be used just about anywhere on your body, but the most common areas are face and neck. This treatment will improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by increasing the amount of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin in your skin. Therefore your skin will become tighter, which will not only smooth out wrinkles, but also tighten sagging skin on the lower face and enhance your jawline.
How many treatments will I need?
Unlike other skincare tightening procedures, Profound™ generally only requires one treatment.
