How long does Profound RF take to work?
Profound RF is a revolutionary aesthetic treatment that has gained significant attention in the world of non-surgical skin rejuvenation. This innovative technique stands out for its ability to deliver remarkable results in skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and overall skin improvement. Here, we’ll explore what Profound RF is, how it works, and the typical timeline for seeing results.
What is Profound RF?
Profound RF is a minimally invasive treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to rejuvenate and revitalise the skin. It’s particularly noted for its effectiveness in treating sagging skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and improving skin texture and tone. This technology is versatile and can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, neck, and areas with cellulite.
How Does Profound RF Work?
The procedure involves using a handpiece equipped with tiny needles. These needles penetrate the skin to deliver radiofrequency energy at a precisely controlled depth. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Targeted Energy Delivery: The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, specifically the dermis, where collagen and elastin fibres are located.
- Natural Healing Response: The controlled injuries caused by the microneedles and the heat energy stimulate the body’s natural healing process.
- Collagen, Elastin, and Hyaluronic Acid Production: This healing response triggers the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, essential components for skin firmness and elasticity.
- Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation: Over time, as new collagen and elastin are formed, the skin becomes firmer, tighter, and more youthful in appearance.
How long is the downtime?
After the treatment, patients can expect some redness, swelling, and bruising, which typically resolve within a week. The recovery is relatively quick, and most people can return to normal activities within a week.
When will you see results?
The results of Profound RF are not immediate. Since the treatment relies on the body’s natural processes of collagen and elastin production, it takes time for the full effects to be visible. Most patients start to see noticeable improvements within 2-3 months after the treatment. However, the final results may take up to 6 months to fully develop as the skin continues to improve.
Studies show a remarkable 100% response rate for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and a 95% response rate for improving sagging skin. It’s a one-off treatment that can deliver 1/3 of a facelift result in a single treatment and results last for several years. The results are noticeable and long-lasting, and in most cases, just one treatment is required.
Profound RF is an exciting option for those seeking a non-surgical solution to combat signs of ageing and improve skin quality. Its ability to stimulate the body’s natural regenerative processes makes it a unique and effective treatment. As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s crucial to consult with a qualified professional to determine if Profound RF is the right choice for your specific needs and goals.
