Hi Sara, You may have fillers in your face as soon as the swelling resolves after your Profound RF treatment. With Sculptra, I recommend that my patients have their Sculptra injection session just prior to Profound (on the same day.) They can then return two months later for re-evaluation and any further Sculptra treatment. As with any aesthetic procedure, it is essential that you take the time and effort to choose your treating physician most carefully based on their skill, knowledge, experience, and natural artistic vision. Good luck and be well. Dr. P
You could have fillers for volume augmentation along with Profound or anytime thereafter. I find that many aging face patients have a need for both skin tightening and volume augmentation so these procedures are frequently complementary. Do recognize that filler results are immediate and that the results from Profound are gradually developed over 6 to 9 months.
There would be no reason why you could not have fillers or other procedures after Profound but I would recommend waiting at least six months post-Profound for your results. Be patient for the science behind the Profound procedure. A recent patient likes the phrase "show some grace to your face" and is thrilled six months out. Best of luck on your journey!
Hello, Thank you for your question! I do 2-3 profound treatments a week and many of them are combined with fillers. The only caveat being I donthe filler immediately after the profound treatment and not before. It would be great if it could be done before the profound bevsuse there is zero swelling but the heat from profound could alter the filler. In some rare cases patients swell early than others (like during the actual treatment) and I will recommend waiting 4-6 weeks afterward in these patients. Profound is usually come to the lower face and neck so the above doesn’t really apply to cheek or lip filler. I hope that helps!Dr G
Hi Palong1, The most troubling aspect of your question is that an aesthetician is scheduled to perform your Profound treatment. I believe that Profound RF should be performed by a physician, I personally would not allow anyone but a physician to perform the treatment on me. Profound RF is a...
Small bumps on the face are normal after this treatment. Majority of them go away after 2 weeks. If they persist, I use a low dose triamcinolone cream for 1 week. You must see your doctor to make sure there is nothing else going on.
Hi Ictus, Great question! I nearly always treat my Profound patients on their forehead and around their eyes. Profound RF can be safely and effectively used on the forehead and around the eyes for better facial rejuvenation, though the majority of physicians do not perform the treatment in...
