Benefits of Profound RF Skin Tightening

How Does Profound RF Work?

Profound RF combines microneedling and RF energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. As collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production increase, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful. This non-surgical approach can produce significant cosmetic improvements, with results typically visible within 2-4 weeks and continuing to improve over several months.
