RealSelf actual patient comment:

My nasolabial folds are deepening with age. I am developing marionette folds, too. Will treatment with Infini RF or Profound RF to these areas markedly reduce these folds given the fact that they both generate one or more of the components of facial volume (elastin, collagen, hyaluronic acid)? Can they increase volume (with enough treatment sessions) as effectively as Sculptra or fat grafting? Or are these two devices better suited to treating lipstick lines?
A.Both Profound RF and Infini are safe and effective non-surgical lifting and tighteningtreatments. They both use micro-needles that emit radiofrequency energy creating heat that stimulate natural collagen production. I find that the nasolabial folds improve in a natural fashion as the cheeks seem to have increased volume and lift. These devices are the best non-surgical lifting and tightening devices and do work on improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. I often use them in combination with fillers when needed. Sculptra, Voluma, and other fillers are used on an individualized basis depending upon the unique needs of each patient.As with any facial aesthetic treatment it is essential to makesure that you choose your treating physician carefully based upon their skill, knowledge, results, experience, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well!!!
