Some raised flesh colored areas, skin was smooth before, some raised areas are linear oriented on forehead? Will this resolve?

Question

Had profound to face, neck, 10 days ago, and have some raised flesh colored areas, skin was smooth before, some raised areas are linear oriented on forehead? Will ths resolve? Suspect needle track marks. Should i do anything for now. Or wait and do something later it persists.

Mark Beaty, MD · Answer

I have seen small raised areas after Profound treatment which can persist up to a few weeks.  I would recommend seeing your treating physician to insure this is just residual inflammation from the needle insertion points.

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

I like to see my patients 2 weeks after Profound. If you are not scheduled to see your provider, I would suggest you do. I can't tell you that what you are describing sounds normal, but it could just be post inflammation from the actual handpiece needles being inserted into the skin. It's hard to say without a photo so that's why I suggest you follow up with your provider. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and cannot be held as true medical advice, but only opinion. Seek in-person treatment with a trained medical professional for appropriate care."
