Are there any risks with Profound RF?

Question

Are there any risk with profound RF. There has been controversy with ultherapy melting facial fat and causing facial trophy...is this a risk with profound? Can i get this procedure done if i have small metal wire inside my face from past reconstruction work?

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

Profound RF was not only rigorously scientifically tested for safety but also for efficacy. The 2mm hair thin needles deposit more than 96% of their energy is the dermis and the temperature is checked 10 times a second!  Patient satisfaction is greater than 95%----and after three years I can attest to this high level of patient satisfaction. To date, I have not seen an untoward complication.

Yes, I have been using Profound for the past 5 years- many risks. This should be discussed with your specialist of choice. 1. Swelling that maybe prolonged for 3 weeks. 2. Prolonged bruising lasting more than 2 weeks 3. Atypical pain 4. Possible nerve damage 5. Needle marks 6, Thermal injury 7. No result 8. Needle breakage. Many more. A full content needs to be undertaken for any treatment. See a specialist for an honest opinion on this first generation insulated RF microneedling. Dr Davin S. Lim, Brisbane. Australia
