For neck rejuvenation& face lifting, I've seen two doctors who perform Profound RF. One suggested a treatment at 67 degrees for 4 seconds, and the other suggested 68 degrees at 3 seconds. How do these two treatments differ? Is one better than the other?

Answer: Profound Settings Mark83: A significant amount of evidence points to optimal results for collagen induction with heating the collagen to 67 degrees Celsius. Increasing the temperature by one degree should not substantially alter the results. Heating at a duration of 3 seconds is standard for the lower face/upper neck. Individuals with thicker skin may benefit from increasing the time to 4 seconds. Ultimately your results are more dependent on the treatment technique of the practitioner vs the subtle setting variations. Be Well
