What is the recovery from Profound RF like?
A.Profound Lift is a wonderful lifting and tightening treatment of the face and neck, it stimulates your own collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acids resulting in a natural rested, healthy, and rejuvenated appearance. It is safe and effective. The recovery is predictable and involves some downtime that varies among patients. All patients are swollen and bruised for the first few days, maximizing at about 2 to 3 days after the treatment. The swelling resolves by day 5, and sometime bruising may as well, but I inform my patients that there is a good possibility that they will have some residual bruises for 8 to 14 days. After discussing the treatment with my patient, I will usually treat them with an aggressive treatment for best results (this includes treating the forehead, the entire neck, and using PRP as well, areas not included in the standard Profound protocol.)Bruises can usually be hidden with appropriate cover-up concealer. My wife said that the weird thing about the recovery was that after the first 24 hoursshe felt completely normal except when passing by a mirror, at which time she looked as if she had lost a boxing match. The good news is that there is no pain during the recovery. It is an excellent time to catch up with things on the “to do” list around your home, and catch up on those binge watching Netflix shows. Patients may return to full physical activities and working out after 5 days.Results can be noticed as early as a week or two, in other patients it may take up to
As with any aesthetic treatment choosing your treating physician is essential for excellent results. Choose your treating physician based on their judgement, skill, experience, knowledge, and most importantly their natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well.
