1 month post Profound RF and I have more laxity. Is this due to all the residual swelling dissipating?

Hi Eric,Depending on what kind of filler and where your filler was placed, it is possible that the heat from your Profound RF treatment may have caused some loss of the filler volume which would lead to the effect that you are noticing.  I do not believe that the skin "stretches" from the swelling.  Over the next 6 to 9 months after Profound RF your body should produce collagen, elastic, and natural hyaluronic acid adding volume to your face, especially to your cheeks.  In the meantime your treating physician may use Voluma and/or Sculptra to strategically add volume until the effects of your treatment take hold.  Good luck and be well.Dr. P

Thank you for your question. The Profound post treatment will leave some swelling, therefore, your skin may appear to be more lax once the swelling goes away; however, the elastin, collagen and HA will continue to reformulate over the next three to six months. We are seeing amazing results with Profound on the arms, legs, abdomen, face and neck. Please follow up with your provider. Wishing you the best.
