Profound is a minimally invasive system that treats lower face laxity and body cellulite. The procedure takes less than an hour for a full lower face and neck. It does involve numbing injections. It is an advance and very safe micro needling system that delivers radio frequency energy. Because of the injections and energy infused, there is some swelling and bruising for 5-7 days. Normal activity can be resume at 5 days. Follow your provider's instructions for best recovery and results.
The recovery period is about 5-7 days of bruising and swelling. Compared to facelifts, both are much less. Typically, patients walk out of the office with mottled appearance of skin and feeling/ looking like a pincushion, due to the multiple insertions of the micro needles. The bruising tends to be focused more around the mouth and can be covered by makeup. The swelling is pretty mild in nature.
