What is the difference between the ProFound and ThermiTight?

Profound RF is a microneedling treatment that combines needling with RF energy to boost collagen production within the dermal structure. The treatment is effective in rejuvenating skin and improving acne scars, with some mild tightening effect. ThermiTight also uses radiofrequency energy, but delivers it under the skin, deep into the connective tissue, where it causes constriction of the tissue fibers and increases collagen production. The result is firmer, tighter skin, with long-lasting results in a single treatment session. If you are specifically looking for a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment, ThermiTight will likely provide a better result for you.

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Profound is a microneedling treatment that combines the microneedling process with gentle radiofrequency energy to boost collagen levels in the dermal structure. ThermiTight is also a radiofrequency treatment, but this procedure delivers the RF energy deeper into the dermal structure to produce more dramatic tightening results. I encourage you to schedule a consultation with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist for further assessment and to determine which procedure is the right one for you.

Profound uses radiofrequency microneedles to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and provide skin tightening. ThermiTight uses radiofrequency energy delivered underneath the skin to stimulate collagen production. Both treatments work well in the appropriate candidates. ThermiTight provides a more diffuse tissue heating. I have found ThermiTight to be the best non-surgical option for lifting and tightening the skin on the face and neck. Results in my clients last several years. Both of these treatments are technique dependent so I would make sure you see an experienced physician provider. Best wishes.

There is quite a large difference. The ThermiTite is
Radiofrequency through a small probe that is inserted under the skin, mainly in
the jaw line, to melt fat, and tighten the jawline and chin. The newest device,
that has taken over this market is the FaceTite or NeckTite.  On the majority of patients, fat is suctioned
from the chin and jowls if needed. I have done many treatments with the
ThermiTite, but I have now upgraded to this new device, the FaceTite.
The ProFractional  a
stamping treatment performed by a handpiece with a series of needles with heat
at the tips. This can be done with topical Lidocaine alone, and is often
performed by a nurse or aesthetician. The entire, face neck and chest can be
treated to improve texture, tone and tightening of the skin can be achieved.
Fat is not removed.
The ThermiTite is mainly used on the chin and jawline, and may
produce a better result than Profractional alone in this area,  with only one treatment needed. The other
areas of the face, neck and chest can be treated with a series of 3 treatments
using ProFractional. Also, ThermiTite can be performed first and then
ProFractional over the area in the same treatment, to treat more externally the
skin texture.  Which you chose depends on
your goal. If you pick an experienced physician, they should be able to chose
the best device to achieve your goals.
