What is Profound?
The Profound treatment is a nonsurgical alternative for treating facial wrinkles. It combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with ultrafine needles (microneedles) to renew your skin from within. Healthcare providers across the globe rely on the Profound treatment to provide lasting wrinkle reduction for their patients.

One Treatment.
The Profound system is an energy-based solution that produces a 100% response rate to facial wrinkles with only one treatment.7,a The end result is younger, smoother-looking skin – with minimal downtime.2,4,7

No Surgery.
Surgery is not the only option to reduce the signs of aging. The Profound treatment is a single treatment, nonsurgical alternative to a facelift.

Lasting Results.
It awakens your body’s own natural healing process by stimulating the production of 3 skin elements: collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.1,4 These 3 elements create lasting volume and firmness for smoother-, younger-looking skin.2,3
Facial Wrinkles
As we age, our skin begins to lose its elasticity and becomes more fragile. This is a result of our body's collagen levels decreasing, elastin production stopping and hyaluronic acid diminishing.3,9-11
Regenerate your face with these three elements - without the use of toxins and fillers - to have a more extensible, elastic and pliable skin using Profound, a single treatment, nonsurgical laser system.4,a

How does Profound work?
A single Profound treatment stimulates your body to naturally reproduce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to revitalize the skin and build new, healthy tissue. The Profound treatment is clinically proven to stimulate your body’s own wound-healing response to reduce the signs of aging without the use of chemicals or surgery.

The Profound treatment has been named “New Treatment of the Year” by The Global Aesthetic Awards, a leading aesthetic industry award, also known as MyFaceMyBody Awards USA.

The Profound system received the award for the best energy-based microneedling device at the 2018 Aesthetic Industry Awards.
