Profound® RF Microneedling

Description

Many people notice signs of aging when skin loses its elasticity and begins to sag around the jowls and the wrinkles around the mouth. Intrinsic aging, also known as the natural aging process, is a continuous process that normally begins in our mid-20s. Lifestyle, diet, personal habits, and sun exposure often act together with the normal aging process to prematurely age our skin. Most premature aging is caused by sun exposure (photoaging). Other external factors that prematurely age our skin are repetitive facial expressions, gravity, sleeping positions, and smoking.

Profound® is a minimally invasive bipolar RF system with patented Real-Time Temperature Control that utilizes 5 pairs of micro-needle electrodes, deployed into the innermost layer of the skin, to deliver high amounts of precisely controlled energy to the dermis while protecting the surface of the skin and deep into the skin, where the concentration of collagen is the highest. Thermal injury to treated areas stimulates wound healing, dermal remodeling, and new elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid formation, resulting in visible skin improvement.

Profound® is a radiofrequency treatment using the Profound device to tighten the skin but also create more volume and elastic tissue, especially in the area around the jowls and the wrinkles around the mouth. And body areas like arms, thighs, and, abdomen. Profound stimulates the reproduction of hyaluronic acid, new collagen, and elastin. Studies have shown that the Profound® procedure produces one-third the effect of a surgical skin-lift.

The Science That Creates Skin, Profoundly
Profound® uses a handpiece and cartridge containing 5 pairs of microneedles with electrodes to deliver bipolar radiofrequency energy directly into the deep reticular dermis, without thermal impact on the epidermis. A controlled high-volume fractional injury to the dermis creates new elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Profound’s approach creates true fractional zones of thermal injury where it will have the most impact and results in a solid foundation of new dermal volume.

Of all aesthetic devices, Profound has unique Real-time Temperature & Impedance Control (RTIC). This feedback mechanism ensures that the target temperature is reached regardless of a patient’s skin condition. Because the desired treatment temperature can be precisely dialed in and assuredly maintained, only Profound can achieve the target of partially denatured collagen which has been proven to be more effective at inducing wound healing than fully denatured collagen.

What can the Profound® system treat?

Facial Wrinkles
As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and becomes more fragile. This is a result of our body’s collagen levels decreasing, elastin production stops, and hyaluronic acid diminishing. The Profound® treatment awakens your body’s own natural healing process by stimulating the production of these three skin elements to create younger-looking skin.

Cellulite Appearance
Dimpling of the skin, referred to as cellulite, is no match for the Profound treatment. The Profound® treatment delivers fractional RF energy to the subcutaneous layer of tissue. Studies demonstrate a 94% improvement in cellulite severity from a single treatment.

How does it work?
A single Profound® treatment stimulates your body to naturally reproduce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to revitalize the skin and build new, healthy tissue. The Profound treatment is clinically proven to stimulate your body’s own wound-healing response to reduce the signs of aging without the use of chemicals or surgery.
