Why Patients Consider Profound
When Skin Starts to Feel Thinner and Less Firm
As collagen and elastin production slows, skin can gradually lose the firmness and bounce that once came naturally. Creams reach only so deep, and the change can feel like it is happening beneath the surface, because it is. Rebuilding those deeper structures requires reaching them.

Profound Explained
How Profound Works
Profound combines microneedling with bipolar radiofrequency energy delivered directly into the dermis. Fine needle pairs place the energy at a precise depth, and the system monitors tissue temperature in real time, adjusting delivery to hold the target temperature associated with collagen remodeling. This dual action, controlled injury plus sustained warmth, signals the skin to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid over the following months.
Is It a Fit?
When Profound May Be the Right Tool
Early skin laxity
Considered for early laxity in the face, jawline, and neck, where deeper dermal remodeling is the goal.
Nonsurgical firming
Firms and renews skin from within by prompting the body to build new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Gradual, natural-looking improvement
Because results come from your own collagen production, they develop naturally over months rather than overnight.
You are noticing early skin laxity in the face, jawline, or neck
You want meaningful firming without surgery
You prefer results that build gradually and look natural
You are comfortable with a short recovery period
The Experience
What Profound Treatment and Recovery Involve
Thorough numbing
The treatment area is thoroughly numbed for comfort before treatment begins, and comfort is monitored throughout.
Temperature-controlled energy delivery
Fine microneedles deliver radiofrequency energy into the dermis while the system monitors tissue temperature in real time, keeping energy delivery consistent and predictable.
A realistic recovery
Plan for several days of swelling, redness, and possible bruising, along with temporary marks from the needle entry points. Most patients return to normal activities within about a week.
Commonly a single treatment
Profound is often planned as a single-treatment protocol, which distinguishes it from series-based approaches. Whether one session or a staged plan suits you is confirmed at consultation.
Three to six months of development
Firmness and skin quality improve gradually over three to six months as new collagen and elastin build.
Combinations with Profound
Distinct Roles in a Combined Plan
