Can Profound RF (lift) be done on hands?

Question

I would like to know if Profound RF can be done on back of hands to tighten skin. Since the skin on hands is thin is this a safe procedure? I am not concerned about volume. I am concerned about the skin wrinkles and texture of the hands.

Andrew Kornstein, MD, FACS · Answer

The skin on the back of the hands is too thin; the radiofrequency energy will be delivered below the level of the skin. It's unfortunate as hand skin could certainly benefit from the "Profound" effect. Fat grafting(fat derived stem cells) improves skin quality as well as rejuvenating the soft tissue atrophy of aging. I highlighted the Profound video but would suggest the fat grafting video as well. Hope this helps.

Currently, we are doing Profound on the lower face and neck areas for lifting and tightening. For hands, we recommend laser such as the Halo, along with the BBL for color irregularities. Also, we use filler to create more fullness and youthful appearance. We see great results with this combination!

No .This treatment is not indicated for hands. Too many nerves and tendons to deliver safe RF insulated needles in this area. For hands, the combination of HA fillers, Radiesse, and CO2 fractional lasers can give good results, all the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
