Profound Before & After
The Profound Process
Profound is the only skin tightening treatment on the market with a 100% response rate after only 1 treatment!
The treatment delivers concentrated RF energy through 5 pairs of micro-channel electrodes. They create micro-injuries in the skin as the RF heats deeper dermal layers. This prompts the body’s natural healing process to activate, greatly increasing levels of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Profound RF microneedling can improve skin laxity and address other issues in several areas, including your:
- Face
- Jawline
- Submental area (double chin)
- Upper neck
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
Good candidates for Profound treatment include adults who:
- Want tighter, smoother skin.
- Want to address the appearance of cellulite.
- Want to tighten the skin under their chin.
Profound can treat all skin types and tones, including tanned skin. Candidates should be in good overall health, not have injuries or active acne in the treatment area, and have realistic expectations for results. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should refrain from having Profound during either.
Profound stimulates your body’s natural abilities to regenerate tissue and restore collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid levels to help skin become thicker, firmer, and more resilient.
Because the process is based on your body’s abilities, seeing the full benefits requires time to heal. Every patient is different, so your full recovery time will be different from others. However, in general, Dream Spa Medical patients can expect to see some enhancements immediately, with deeper improvements becoming visible 8 to 12 weeks after their Profound treatment.
As another amazing effect of Profound RF Microneedling, improvements continue for up to 6 months. Profound is renowned for a 100% response rate for wrinkle reduction and a 95% response rate for sagging skin after just 1 treatment.
Pre- & Post-Care Instructions for Profound in Brookline
- Women who are pregnant should not receive Profound. If you are nursing and would like to pursue treatment, we ask that you consult your PCP for clearance.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
- We ask that if you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids, you discontinue the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are currently taking or have taken a medication in the Isotretinoin family, such as Accutane, we ask that you wait at least 6 months before pursuing Profound RF microneedling.
- It is best if you arrive at your appointment free of makeup, perfume, lotion, or deodorant in the treatment area.
- Your provider will help guide you in your current home care routine and make recommendations on what to avoid. As a general rule active ingredients such as acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc.), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions such as antibiotic or steroid creams should be discontinued 7 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- If you have a lidocaine or epinephrine allergy or sensitivity, you are not a candidate for this treatment.
- Your provider may decide based upon your skin type to have you do a pre-treatment course of topical products. This will be discussed in detail at your consultation, if you are a candidate.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best as well as help to accelerate your healing time and enhance results.
- The treated area will feel uncomfortable and warm post-treatment. Redness, swelling, and a hive-like appearance in the treated area are an expected and desired response. Your provider will apply SkinCeuticals HydraBalm post-treatment and provide you with ice packs to begin applying when you are home. We want to keep some of the inflammation that the treatment has produced since this stimulates collagen.
- You may ice for 30 to 45 minutes at a time (10 minutes on, 10 minutes off) for 24 hours. We provide disposable ice packs in your post-care kit.
- Expected downtime: 5 to 7 days. The expected healing sequence and expected treatment side effects include: redness, swelling, bruising, light discomfort, and possibly small bumps and pinpoint bleeding.
- Please use the disposable pillowcases provided in your post-care kit for 5 days post-treatment. Switch the pillowcase out every night. (for Profound Body, see below)
- Wash the treated area 3 to 4 times daily. To clean, use SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser provided in your post-care kit. Avoid face cloths and harsh scrubbing until your skin is “back to normal,” which means no scabbing, bruising, or irritation present. Allow your skin to dry, and then apply a thin coat of SkinCeuticals HydraBalm, that has been provided in your post-care kit, to the treated area. Keep the treated area moist at all times for 1 week to avoid scab formation. If you are treating a body part, please omit this step and follow the instructions below.
- Sleep with your head slightly elevated on 2 to 3 pillows and avoid sleeping with pets for 48 hours after treatment.
- We strongly encourage you to avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area or the use of tanning beds for at least 3 weeks following this procedure.
- If you are healing well, you may resume using mineral makeup 48 hours later. Alternatively, we offer ISDIN Skin Drops post-procedural makeup for purchase at Dream Spa Medical. This can be applied immediately after your procedure and can help assist in the healing process.
- Avoid the use of perfumes, lotions, and deodorant in the treated area for at least 7 days.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, sweating, and excessive temperatures for 48 hours.
- You may resume your normal daily skincare routine, including all active ingredients, after the first 7 days of healing. If you have been instructed by your provider to use a pre- and post-care regimen for pigment, please follow those instructions instead.
Additional Instructions for Profound Body Treatments:
- If you are treating a body part, we suggest avoiding tight, constricting clothes. This will allow your skin to heal properly and avoid friction.
- If you are treating a body part, you will be provided with Environ’s A, C, & E Body Oil. You should generously apply A, C, & E Body Oil to the treated area at least 2 times per day.
- If you are treating a body part, you will be provided with sanitary pads to apply to your treated area to cover every night. These areas should be covered for 5 days post-treatment.
Clinical testing suggests that wrinkle improvement can continue to develop for 3 to 6 months following treatment. Clinical literature suggests that the dermal remodeling process following non-ablative RF treatments can continue for 6 to 12 months.
Re-treatment with the Profound system is not recommended for 6 months following the initial treatment.
