What is Profound

The Profound system is the first and only radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device with FDA clearance for face and body.4 A non-surgical alternative to address aging skin, the Profound system uses RF energy to provide long-lasting facial wrinkle reduction and improve the appearance of cellulite.4,5

How it works

Dermal module for facial wrinkles

Bipolar RF energy delivered to deep reticular dermis provides thermal damage to dermis without thermal impact on epidermis.

Subcutaneous module for cellulite

Bipolar RF energy targets deeper skin layers to coagulate adipose tissue and remodel cellulite.

Physician's Perspective

Given the cost of the Profound device, the predictable results, what you can get per treatment, the ROI is probably the best of any machine that I have ever had.

For patients who want results, but not the downtime associated with surgery, I offer what I believe to be the next best option. With the Profound treatment, my patients get good to amazing results with significantly less downtime required

Peter Capizzi, MD

It has allowed our practice to grow on the non-sur­gical side. This procedure doesn’t replace a facelift, or a limited facelift, but it provides that niche of a nonsurgical treatment—one time, clinically-proven and delegatable procedure. In our practice, a nurse practitioner provides the treatment.
