I am a 40 year-old female with tight facial skin, but some redness and acne scarring. I lost weight and have loose skin under my chin. My primary focus, though, is to deminish the deep neck banding and fat between those bands. The Provider I saw recommends Profound. How effective is this for smoothing neck bands and removing fat from the neck?

Answer: Profound RF Neck Result Hi, Profound RF is an excellent treatment for collagen and elastin stimulation, which together helps with improved skin tightening and quality. Fat reduction is minimal and I think based on your photos, you would be better served by a midline neck lift, which would address 3 layers: muscle laxity in the neck, excess fat, and also skin tightening. This involves a small 2 cm incision hidden underneath the chin. I often times will combine Profound RF with this surgery to help with skin tightening, but Profound RF alone will not reduce fat and tighten the muscle layer of the neck. I hope this helps and please contact me with further questions.

Answer: Neck bands This would require a surgical neck lift . Profound would have little to no effect . The radio frequency heat is not a substitute for surgical liposuction . In addition any effects from profound would have to be done multiple times and have very limited longevity
