Profound RF Microneedling Facelift Treatment

Profound is a unique treatment that combines microneedling and radiofrequency technologies for an advanced skin tightening and rejuvenating effect. It works by penetrating the skin at a precise depth with tiny needles, before momentarily releasing a burst of radiofrequency energy to heat the skin. The deep skin tissue is heated to exactly 67 degrees Celsius and held at this temperature for a number of seconds. The process awakens your body’s own natural healing process by stimulating the production of three skin elements – collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, resulting in a tighter, smoother, more lifted appearance.

Profound is clinically proven to create younger-looking skin. It’s the only technology currently available which can monitor the exact skin temperature in real time, ensuring precision, safety and consistency of results. Studies show a 100% response rate for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and a 95% response rate for improving sagging skin after only one treatment.

The treatment is mainly used to treat facial wrinkles, sagging skin, jowls and deep lines on the face but it can also be used to destroy fat cells and improve cellulite on the body.

Dr Sophie Shotter may combine Profound RF with filler to offer her patients a 5-star skin remodelling treatment that targets three modalities – the skin, subcutaneous tissue and bone. While the Profound provides an exceptional skin tightening result, it doesn’t address bone loss, which happens as we age. In order to be able to offer our patients, what we consider to be the best non-surgical facelift, we may also need to address bone loss.
