I recently read about a new laser that is supposed to be "injectable" for tightening?? I think that it is called Profound? I think they have been using it on the face but going to be getting a new way to use it on the legs for loose skin? Has anyone heard of this and what kind of results it is having? I'm curious about it. I would love to have tighter skin on my legs.

Answer: Profound radiofrequency microneedling Thank you for your question. We were the first plastic surgery/dermatology group in the greater Houston area to bring on the Profound device. This is the only device where they have shown consistent results in terms of patient satisfaction as well as the production of Elastin, Collagen and Hyaluronic acid. Elastin is on part of the soft tissue (connective tissue) that helps the skin the recoil like an elastic band. This is a device that requires quite a bit of advanced training in injectable anesthesia prior to the procedure to help with patient comfort. It also more than rivals some of the existing collagen stimulating devices out there including other radiofrequency, ultrasound, infrared devices.

Answer: Laser for Skin Tightening There are many lasers, ultrasounds, and radiofrequences that work for skin tightening. I find that VASER and ThermiRF work the best internally but that externally other devices work well -- Thermage/Ultherapy/Velashape/VenusLegacy. Best, Dr. Emer.
