Profound Skin Tightening

Profound Skin Tightening

Looking for a minimally-invasive (non-surgical) treatment to improve the appearance of aging skin? If sagging or loose skin has been an issue with you, the Profound skin tightening treatments offered at GV Plastic Surgery, Miami may be the ideal solution. The procedure can be performed in just 45 minutes or less. Minimal downtime is one of the major benefits of this treatment.

Understanding ProfoundⓇ

Profound is a radiofrequency treatment involving usage of the Profound device for tightening skin. It also benefits by adding more volume and elastic tissue in specific areas such as wrinkles around the mouth and around the jowls.

Profound works by stimulating the reproduction of elastin, fresh collagen, and hyaluronic acid. The doctor will use fractionated radiofrequency energy for increasing dermal volume. This is a non-ablative energy that heats the deepest skin layers to tighten and trigger production of fresh skin for supporting structures. Adequate support helps tighten, smooth and tone skin for a younger, more attractive look.

It has been revealed by different studies that this procedure produces an amazing one-third the effect of a surgical face-lift!

When will I see results?

The results of our ProfoundⓇ skin tightening treatments develop gradually as the newly formed collagen and elastin develop and improve the overall quality of the skin at a cellular level. As the collagen and elastin develop, your skin will start looking tighter, firmer, and more youthful.

A noticeable improvement is noted in the treated area by most patients within a span of 6 to 8 weeks of their treatment session. Actual results may take longer for some patients. This depends on their age, lifestyle, general health, and post-treatment skin care.

Am I a Candidate?

The procedure is applicable for both men and women who want to tighten and tone loose or sagging skin. Those looking for restoring facial volume and enhancing appearance of aging such as fine lines and facial wrinkles are also a candidate.

Before starting the treatment, Dr. Varkarakis will schedule an analysis and consultation session to review your general health and medical history. You can also expect to have a discussion over treatment goals and if the procedure is right for you.

Side Effects

The procedure may cause some side effects such as tenderness, minor swelling, bruising, and/or redness in the treated area after treatment session. Side effects are temporary and tend to resolve on their own within 7-10 days after the ProfoundⓇ skin tightening treatment.
