Had profound RF done on Tuesday. Had half a glass of wine night before. Probably 3 glasses with dinner on Sunday. Lots of bruising and unevenness. Dr kept saying something wrong with needle not retracting but didn’t change cartridge until about 120 on right side and moved to left. No ice handy. Didn’t work well with staff. Seemed unknowing. Very disappointed as I can’t take down time off again for years.

How is your healing going? I was thinking of doing this. What doctor did you use?

I used Dr. Mustafa at 1 brookline place in Boston. She agreed she stopped early but because i am not like "60" I didnt need as much of the procedure! (But I paid the same as a 80 yo who needs it?!" They said it would take months to see results. I dont see anything yet after 1 month. My more sun damaged side, that she barely worked on shows no change. I just dont see any change as of yet x1month. Ill share pics at 6 week mark. I would say, continue research on Realself to find a doctor. The downtime was a little more than expected but was fine. 10days/2 weeks of some bruising. But I am not sure this was worth it. Every office protocol is different so make sure they are covering as much as you want them too. This office considered face to only be below lip line. So my lip wrinkles were not even touched. I think I was paying for office space and location. should have done better homework.

How is your healing going? I had a consultation with the other dermatologist at 1 brookline place, I was going to do it, but a bit concerned now, after hearing about your experience with the cartridges not working well, but wasn't addressed.

Same exact thing happen to me with the profound rf machine. I got it done on my stomach stretch marks.. its been 2 months since since the treatment and my stretch marks look worse then ever. The skin is more creepy, there seems to be missing fat in the areas where the machine got stuck more causing hallow and sagging skin. I am very skinny with not much fat on my stomach, now with these missing patches of fat, my stretch marks are worse then ever. I hope it doesnt do that to your neck and chin ❤
