What Is Profound RF Microneedling?
Profound uses radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling technology to stimulate a deep skin response. It targets the dermis with precise thermal energy, triggering your body’s natural healing processes and increasing the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the building blocks of youthful skin.
Unlike over-the-counter treatments or shallow procedures, Profound penetrates deeply enough to achieve surgical-like results without the incisions or extended recovery time.
Ideal for Treating:
- Sagging skin on the cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Acne scars and rough skin texture
- Early jowling
- Thinning skin from volume loss
- Cellulite (on the thighs, buttocks, and other body areas)
