One Treatment.

The Profound system is an energy-based solution that produces a 100% response rate to facial wrinkles and a 94% improvement in cellulite severity with only one treatment.^2,3,a The end result is younger, smoother-looking skin – with minimal downtime.^2,3,5,8

No Surgery.

Surgery is not the only option to reduce the signs of aging. The Profound treatment is a single treatment, nonsurgical alternative to a facelift or surgical cellulite reduction. A local anesthetic is used to numb the skin and minimize discomfort, allowing patients to go back to normal activities within 24 hours. Please consult with your healthcare provider.

Lasting Results.

It awakens your body’s own natural healing process by stimulating the production of 3 skin elements: collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.^1,5 These 3 elements create lasting volume and firmness for smoother-, younger-looking skin.^15-17

This is a result of our body's collagen levels decreasing, elastin production stopping and hyaluronic acid diminishing.^4,12-14 The Profound treatment awakens your body’s own natural healing process by stimulating the production of these three skin elements to create younger-looking skin.^3,5,a		Dimpling of the skin, referred to as cellulite, is no match for the Profound treatment.

It has allowed our practice to grow on the non-surgical side. This procedure doesn’t replace a facelift, or a limited facelift, but it provides that niche of a nonsurgical treatment—one time, clinically-proven and delegatable procedure. In our practice, a nurse practitioner provides the treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Profound treatment?

The Profound treatment is an energy-based facial and body treatment clinically proven to create new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid^1,a – the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic. A single Profound treatment dramatically improves aging skin, so you can look years younger.^6,a

What is the effect of a lack of elastin and collagen as we age?

Starting in our mid 20’s, we stop producing elastin and collagen decreases each year. Elastin acts like a spring that coils and recoils within your body’s elastic fibers. It is what allows your skin to “snap back” when pulled. Elastin works together with collagen to provide elasticity for your skin. Collagen – another important skin element – is what provides structure to the skin. Collagen is a long, fibrous protein that supports body tissues and helps give your skin its strength and tightness. As we age, collagen decreases and skin becomes more fragile.^12-14

Is the Profound treatment right for me?

Ideal candidates for the Profound treatment are those who want to reduce the signs of aging and have smoother-looking skin, but don’t want the invasiveness, potentially unnatural results, or downtime of plastic surgery. In clinical studies, Profound treatments had a 100% response rate for facial wrinkles and a 94% improvement in cellulite severity.^2,3,a

Is the Profound treatment reliable?

The FDA-cleared Profound treatment is reliable and produces predictable results.^2,3 As with any procedure, you should make sure your provider has received proper training and is experienced in performing Profound treatments.
