I have been a realself member for years now and have truly found great appreciation for the stories, reviews, and recommendations written by those members who give their true unbiased opinions about the treatment, results and doctors. Since I’ve had the profound treatment (one of the most popular treatments today) I decided to write a review in hopes that I provide the insight to this AMAZING treatment and doctor who gave me the results I’ve wished to have for Years! So, here’s my experience, results, and honest account as to how Dr. Gladstone, his staff, and the Profound treatment have brought me hope and confidence.

I am a 28 year old mixed (Spanish, French and Mexican) female, healthy and in good shape. In my early teens I developed stretch marks on my hips, outer and inner thighs, and buttocks. I was never over weight and believe the stretch marks developed due to hormones imbalance and lack of skin elasticity. Throughout the years, before the profound treatment, I tried EVERYTHING!! From creams, oils, CO2, Lux 1540 and all else with no results what so ever. With the last bit of hope I decided to do research to find the latest treatments out there and found the profound treatment. The skin issues that profound is known for improving are acne scars, wrinkles and sagging skin. In reading how the profound machine works and reviews on women who’ve treated their stretch marks with profound, I decided to give it a try.

Dr. Gladstone and his staff are kind, knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable! Treatment costs are reasonable and are very clear as to the expectation of any treatment. Dr. Gladstone is also one of the Best Doctors in the Bay Area wining a number of awards and has years of experience! If you have any skin issues/concerns, he is the doctor to see!!

I had the Profound Treatment done a little over 6 months ago. I noticed results after A MONTH post treatment and was honestly in SHOCK as to how well it worked!! The texture of my skin improved by about 25%. (I plan to upload the before and after photos taken from my first profound treatment.. as we all know photos are everything!!)

Dr. Gladstone had recommended two treatments during my initial consultation and am scheduled to have my second treatment tomorrow. I can’t be More EXCITED!!!

I plan to document my experience with my second treatment following this review!
