Profound laser on malar mounds?

Question

Will the Profound laser be good to use if I have Malar Bags? I’m trying to tighten my skin on my cheeks and hoping they won’t sag as much..

A photo would be very helpful.Are you sure it is a "malar mound" and not a "festoon"?Profound is one of the best and easiest ways to treat festoons.Malar mounds are more of a circulatory problem and fat grafting(stem cells) to enhance circulation is the best cure.Hope that helps-----------Feel free to send a photo

Thank you for your question! We have found out something which takes time for many people to learn. Superficial skin treatments do not affect the deeper layers. That’s one of the reasons why lasers usually don’t work on malar mounds. To address the fluid and distention of the tissues, you need a tightening procedure at a deeper layer, something that ThermiTight could address if you wish to avoid surgery. The ThermiTight procedure of the eyes is an evolving area of treatment that I as medical director of Thermi have been privileged to lead. Best of luck!
