Profound® uses radiofrequency energy diffused with ultrafine needles to rejuvenate mature skin, erase wrinkles and restore firmness in one session.
Facial rejuvenation
Profound® erases the signs of ageing without resorting to a surgical facelift or to the injection of fillers.
Skin ageing is a continuous, natural, physiological process that starts when you are 25 years old. The skin loses its elasticity and begins to weaken on the face and neck. The volume and the appearance of the face gradually change while the wrinkles are deepened.
Profound® treats:
- Loose skin (jowls, contour of the face, double-chin, folds of the neck)
- Wrinkles and fine lines (nasolabial folds, expression lines, wrinkles around the mouth)
All other skin colors can be treated without risk of depigmentation with the exception of phototypes V and VI.
In casse of herpes, it is necessary to follow a treatment three days before and three days after the session.
This treatment is also restricted to patients who suffer from psoriasis, eczema, etc. or who are on anti-coagulants.
How a Profound® session works
The session is done under local anesthesia, preceded by the application of an numbing cream and lasts two hours on average. A single session is enough.
Profound® delivers non-ablative bipolar radiofrequency in the dermis (Dermal handpiece) or hypodermis (SubQ handpiece) using sterile single-use micro-needles.
Radiofrequency heats skin tissue at 67 degrees for 3 to 4 seconds to stimulate the production of collagen (x2), elastin (x5) and hyaluronic acid in the deep dermis, restoring the dermal skin volume of the face in a totally natural way.
The heat passes through the skin and targets the skin layer in which it is most effective for rejuvenation.
- 88% of the heat in the dermis
- 10% of the heat in the hypodermis
- 2% of the heat in the epidermis
Clinical studies have shown that partially denatured collagen is much more effective at triggering a neo-collagenesis than fully denatured collagen thus, partially denatured collagen can be reconstituted 38% faster than fully denatured collagen to produce a more consistent restorative action.
Dosimetry studies have shown that in order to regenerate partially denatured collagen, it is essential to reach and maintain an optimal target tissue temperature between 67 ° C and 74 ° C for three to four seconds.
Currently, Profound® is the only system to reach the necessary thermal energy threshold (the right temperature and the duration of maintaining this temperature) to partially denature collagen and promote restorative action for the purpose of remodelling the dermis.
The effects of radiofrequency and microneedling
After a session of Profound®, there will be redness and some papules on the skin for two days. There is also edema for a week which is more or less important according to patients.
Women can wear makeup the day after the treatment.
Results
There is a low effect after three weeks with the final results visible after three to six months.
Radiofrequency restores the dynamic properties of the skin, regenerating elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid and restoring the loss of volume to the dermis. The skin is softer, firmer, smoother and plumper.
Profound® treatment has a success rate of 100% on wrinkles and 95% on loose skin, six months after the session.
The effects last for a minimum of three years.
