Profound RF combines microneedling with temperature controlled radiofrequency energy delivered deep into the dermis. Insulated microneedles heat tissue to precise levels, triggering the skin to produce new collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, the building blocks of firm, resilient skin. Because it reaches deeper layers than standard RF microneedling, many patients need only a single treatment.
It is designed for early to moderate laxity in the lower face, jawline and neck, along with wrinkles around the mouth and eyes and uneven texture. At our Merrick clinic, your provider studies your skin and anatomy, plans the treatment zones and anesthesia for comfort, and sets realistic expectations for gradual change over several months.
