Answer: Profound danger Profound has its own risks but with this procedure, the microneedles in the dermal cartridge target a specific depth ( deep dermis) and so the fat layer is not affected; this means there is not a risk for melting the face. However, there is a subcutaneous cartridge to help melt fat- we use this for submental fat or thighs; if this is used in the face, you could see similar concerns as with Ulthera about melting the face. Additionally, this is more invasive than Ulthera so there is the possibility of nerve damage/ weakness, as well as numbness/ paresthesias.
