Is it possible to have Profound RF done on the forehead and temple area?

Question

At 38 I am seeing the start of eyelid creepiness. I am reluctant to rely on Botox for this as it is costly and I’m not sure about the long term effects of using it. I am more interested in a procedure that will address the laxity and can be repeated over the years. Is this recommended and are there doctors near me who do it. I live in Northern California.

Hi C,Yes, Profound RF can be used to treat the forehead and temple area for improvement of forehead lines, wrinkles, and skin tone/texture as well as slight brow lifting and improvement of "crows feet" lines around the eyes.  I routinely treat these areas with the face and neck as it is thought that there is a better overall result proportionate to the total surface area treated.  There is the possibility of increased bruising when the temple and crows feet areas are treated, and the forehead requires tumescent infiltration to avoid breaking the micro-needles.  In the NoCal bay area I believe that James Newman, MD is expert at the Profound RF treatment.As with any aesthetic procedure, you must choose your treating cosmetic physician carefully based on their experience, skill, knowledge, and most importantly their natural artistic vision.  Good luck and be well!!!

The answer to your question is "yes."
I have worked closely with the company on both facial and body applications and believe I was (one of) the first to use Profound for the forehead and crow's feet. It works reliably and safely. I use it frequently for my patients. Hope this helps.
