There is a new treatment called Profound for cellulite reduction that has quickly become a favorite in dermatology and cosmetic offices around the country.
Profound is the first device approved by the FDA for cellulite removal through radio frequency technology.
The radio frequency technology utilized by Profound is distributed through microneedle electrodes in to the subcutaneous layer of the skin.
Once effectively targeted, Profound dissolves adipose tissue and stimulates production of elastin, as well as collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin.
Elastin is the protein within your skin that keeps your skin tight.
As you age, your skin produces less elastin. This can cause it to look droopy, and more relaxed.
By stimulating elastin and collagen in the skin, Profound is prompting your skin to become more firm and smooth.
Profound is a great treatment option for any patient who is looking to reduce the appearance of cellulite on their skin.
Yes, Profound is perfectly safe for men and women of all skin types and colors.
You can expect your treatment session to last anywhere from one to two hours.
You should expect to reach your desired results from Profound with only one treatment session.
Following your Profound treatment, you can expect some bruising, redness and swelling. This is normal and should go down over the next 5 to 10 days.
You should see the full results from your treatment within 6 to 9 months.
