I’m thinking of getting the Profound procedure. The aesthetician is the one performing the procedure. Is this the norm? (Photo)

In California, only MD's and RN's are allowed to use Profound RF. I do my own radiofrequency treatments. A well trained RN could do a great job but there is more into these machines than just "stamping" the skin. 

hello,
   Thank you for your question! I perform several profound treatments per week to the face, but I do have my aestheticians trained to perform body treatments. In the facial region I feel my understanding of the musculature and desired lifting vectors result in superior technique but that technique can be trained. I do feel that hyper pigmentation should be discussed as anytime you apply hear near the pigmentation forming cells they can make dark spots. I have not seen this in my practice though. I hope that helps!
