Looking for a non-surgical treatment to improve the appearance of aging skin? If sagging neck 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.
Profound is a bipolar radio-frequency treatment involving usage of the Profound device for tightening skin. It benefits by adding more volume and elastic tissue in the treated areas such as wrinkles around the mouth and around the jowls.
Profound works by stimulating the reproduction of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. The doctor will use radiofrequency energy for increasing dermal volume. Adequate tissue support helps tighten, smooth and tone skin for a younger, more attractive look. The resulting trauma from the needles and the RF will stimulate the proteins of the skin to help regenerate the skin from the treatment of Profound. Almost all the modern treatments use the same pattern, trauma ( mechanical, thermal, radiofrequency, ultrasound, etc ) to stimulate the wound cascade and reproduce collagen and elastin.
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.
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.
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. It is more intensive than the Morpheus 8, but with one Profound the result is like having three Morpheus 8 treatments. Profound is for the LOWER FACE AND NECK in regards to the face. If it is done over the cheek bones, it may result in falling cheek bones.
