Hi Rhonda,Profound RF dermal paired micro needles have two levels of treatment, 1 millimeter and 2 millimeters deep. The Profound RF subcutaneous paired needles treat at a depth of 6 mm. Regular micro needling varies anywhere from 0.25 to 2 millimeter. Good luck and be well.Dr. P
There are two different devieces tfor this. A combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with skin tightening for the face.
