Is Profound the same treatment as Ultherapy?
A.Good question! Profound RF and Ultherapy are different non-surgical device skinlifting and tightening treatments that are both safe and effective. Profound RF uses paired micro-needles that emit radiofrequency energy while deployed1 to 2 mm beneaththe skin for 3 to 4 seconds creating a controlled temperature of 67 degrees C. Ultherapy uses the topical application of micro-focused ultrasound energy at different skin depths (4.5, 3.0, 1.5mm) creating heat. Both technologies work by stimulating new collagen over time. Both continue to improve over a 6 to 9 month period and both are thought to lastabout5 years, though you will look better for the rest of your life compared to how you would have looked without having the treatment.The downtime for Profound RF is 7 to 10 days due to bruising and swelling. There is little to no downtime with Ultherapy. In some patients, the two procedures may be combined for even better ultimate results.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!!!
