Profound microneedling. Is it safe?
RealSelf actual patient comment:
I am a 33 years old with great skin but need more volume in my cheeks.. I am looking for the most natural treatment that can safely build my collagen to more youthful plump skin look. A doctor advised me to try PRP with Profound Micro-needling. Then if I need more volume I can do fillers such as voluma Should I do what he suggests? is Profound Micro-needling safe? I heard it has swelling and bruises as side effects. .. is it right it has 100% response rate ?
A.One of the most commonly seen results with Profound RF treatment is that cheeks look elevated and larger, almost as if they have been lifted. Not only is Profound RF effective but it is extremely safe when performed properly. As with any facial aesthetic procedure, the most important aspect of the treatment is making sure that you choose your treating physician very carefully based on their experience, skill, knowledge, and natural artistic vision. I have treated hundreds of patients with Profound RF and have fortunately not had an adverse event or complication. There is significant swelling which maximizes at about 2 days and resolves by 5 days at which time we allow our patients to resume exercising. There is also significant bruising which maxs out at about 3-4 days and is gone from 7 to 12 days after the treatment. By 5 days concealer may be used. We have seen a response in all of our patients, though results may vary from patient to patient. The young patients that we have treated such as yourself have enjoyed excellent results and have been very happy that they underwent the Profound RF treatment. Good luck and be well.
