Profound RF: Non-Surgical Skin Tightening in Houston

By Dr. Sato

Profound® RF offers a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that continues to rise in popularity at the plastic surgery practice of Erika Sato, MD in Houston, TX. Following is an in-depth look at how this treatment restores elasticity to skin tissue and has transformed the approach to skin tightening and addressing early signs of aging without invasive surgery.

What is Profound RF?

Profound RF is an innovative aesthetic technology that offers a non-surgical alternative for treating sagging skin and loss of elasticity. This method uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to precisely target the deeper layers of skin, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These three components are crucial for maintaining youthful, firm, and resilient skin.

How Does Profound RF Work?

Profound RF combines the deep targeting capability of radiofrequency energy with microneedling, a process that involves using tiny needles and has proven to be effective in stimulating collagen and elastin growth. The delivery of RF energy through the micro punctures at the surface triggers the body’s natural healing mechanisms within the deeper layers of skin tissue where structural integrity needs to be restored. 

Candidates for the Benefits of Profound RF

The treatment is adaptable to a wide range of individual skin types and color tones and offers the potential for significant improvement in skin tightness and overall tone, texture, and elasticity without surgery. Additional advantages include:

• Results with one treatment – Profound RF offers the benefit of optimal results in just one treatment. A series of three treatment sessions are commonly recommended with similar skin rejuvenation device platforms.
• Minimally invasive – Due to the treatment’s non-invasive nature, there is a lower risk of complications and minimal recovery time needed following the procedure. 
• Effective on various body parts – This technology can be used on the face, neck, and body, making it versatile for addressing multiple concerns.
• Natural results – By enhancing the body’s regenerative processes, Profound RF offers results that look and feel natural.
• Long-lasting improvements – The improvements from Profound RF are gradual and continue to enhance over time as the skin produces more collagen and elastin.

The Procedure

The procedure is typically completed within a single session lasting 45 to 90 minutes. Once the treatment area is numbed from a local anesthetic, the Profound RF device is used to target skin layers at precise depths and address individual aesthetic concerns with targeted precision.

Profound RF Recovery and Results

The recovery period following Profound RF involves minimal downtime, patients can expect some minor redness and swelling, and some pin spots of blood are possible. Most patients return to normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. 

Results begin to show within a few weeks, with optimal outcomes visible after three to six months as the skin continues to produce new collagen and elastin. Depending on the individual patient’s skin condition and aging process, the results can last for several years.
