Profound combines microneedling and radiofrequency technologies as a non-surgical skin treatment. Tiny needles penetrate the skin to a precise depth, releasing a controlled burst of radiofrequency energy. This process may support the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the treated area.
Profound can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and areas affected by cellulite.
Results may become visible at eight weeks post treatment with optimum results at three to six months.

Prior to your first treatment, our doctor will consult with you to assess your suitability for Profound and discuss any concerns or questions you may.
The treatment involves topical numbing cream followed by our doctor injecting a local anaesthetic into the treatment area before using the Profound device. As the skin is numbed, most clients do not experience any significant discomfort during or immediately after the treatment.
