Will Profound RF dissolve fat cells in addition to tightening skin?

Question

31 year old male I had chin lipo a year and a half ago. I still feel that I have a thin layer of fat remaining (in addition to some thicker skin) underneath my chin. Does profound rf also destroy fat cells to better contour the neck, or is it solely used for skin tightening?

Hi Wolverine,
Great question.  Profound RF has two different sets of needles, one for tightening the skin at 1-2 mm deep which stimulates elastin formation tightening and lifting the skin, the other for melting unwanted fat at 6 mm deep.  This deep set of needles is used to destroy fat cells in the neck to give an improved contour.  Please feel free to contact me any further questions.  Good luck and be well.

Profound RF has different settings and handpieces for each use. One hand piece is for skin tightening and lifting while the other goes deeper and destroys some fat cells. We find that for the face, we need to use both handpiece to get the desired outcome if a client wants to remove fat from the chin. Please find an experienced doctor because you want to preserve fat on certain parts of your face while getting rid of the fat under the chin area.

The subcutaneous version of Profound does affect adipose tissue. A physical exam would be necessary to determine if there is enough tissue under your chin to allow the use of this tip or cartridge. It's needles penetrate deeper and could cause injury if your remaining adipose layer is not substantial enough. But yes, Profound RF does tighten the skin and can diminish the fatty tissue below it.
