Profound skin tightening uses a Bi-polar radio frequency energy delivery system through fine needles. By carefully heating the skin’s elastin and collagen to an exact amount, Profound leads to the creation of new elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid with just one treatment. Profound can achieve 37% the effect of a lower facelift without surgery or scars!
Profound can be used to correct sagging skin and loss of volume around the mouth, cheeks, and neck. It can also be used to correct the appearance of cellulite. After our mid-twenties, our bodies slow down collagen production and along with diet and lifestyle habits, our skin will begin to age. Non-surgical skin rejuvenation is a great way to start to address these aging concerns.
Profound has also created a handpiece to use for cellulite treatment. The needles in this device go deeper than the fat layer. This is where the fibrous bands are that cause the appearance of cellulite. The energy used from Profound melts some of the tight bands to release the indents, while also tightening the surrounding skin. This allows for a smoother appearance of cellulite on the buttock, thighs, and hips.
Good candidates for Profound skin tightening have mild to moderate signs of aging. Signs of aging that can be treated with Profound:
Most patients who are in good health whose skin is also in good condition are typically candidates for this procedure. For more severe signs of aging or a greater percentage of correction, you may wish to opt for a surgical facial procedure performed by Dr. Sadati at our plastic surgery practice, Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery.

The most distinguishing characteristic of Profound skin tightening is that it only requires one treatment. Because Profound uses the body’s own natural collagen production through triggering the reparative process to rejuvenate the skin, patients will experience some slight swelling and redness. Results appear gradually.
Most patients begin to see improvement 6-8 weeks post-treatment with final results being delivered up to 6 months post-treatment.
