The Profound RF is a break-through technology used to treat sagging and drooping skin, jowls, wrinkles and excess fat on the face, neck and body. Known as the non-surgical face-lift, Profound is a revolutionary energy-based, skin-needling treatment. It’s designed to create new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid – the important building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic. It’s an excellent treatment for improving ageing skin and it can also be used on the body to destroy fat cells and reduce cellulite.

About this treatment

   

One Treatment, No Surgery, Lasting Results.

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’s Tri-Lift

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.

The treatment will involve your doctor administering local anaesthetic before treatment, to make the procedure more comfortable. As the skin is numbed, most clients hardly experience any pain during or immediately after the treatment. You will likely experience some mild discomfort in the days following as your skin starts its healing process, however, we will work with you to manage this and make sure you remain as comfortable as possible.

Profound is suitable for anyone who’s noticing significant signs of ageing such as sagging and drooping skin, jowls and pronounced wrinkles. It can also be used to treat areas of fat and cellulite on the body.

You can expect about five to seven days of downtime as your skin undergoes the healing process. This is significantly reduced when compared to a surgical facelift which has a long and painful recovery period of up to one month.
