As we age, our skin undergoes many changes. One of these changes is that skin loses its elasticity. This can result in sagging jowls around the face, which can be a major source of discomfort and a hit to self-esteem. If you experience sagging jowls and they cause you to feel uncomfortable or lower your self-esteem, talk to your doctor about options to help. One of these options is Profound RF. Profound RF is a treatment option which can reduce the appearance of sagging jowls.
What Is Profound RF?
Profound RF is a non-surgical option that turns back the clock on aging skin. Less painful and invasive than surgery, Profound RF is an alternative to the use of fillers. As we age, skin loses its elasticity. Collagen levels decrease, elastin production slows, and hyaluronic acid decreases. These are three key reasons why wrinkles and saggy skin appear as we age. Profound RF uses radiofrequency and skin-needling, which creates new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. Profound RF works by penetrating the skin at a precise depth with tiny needles and then releasing a burst of radiofrequency energy, or heat. This stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production, which are the building blocks of smooth, tight skin.
Results are typically seen six to eight weeks after the treatment, but optimal results will be seen after a few months. Profound RF produces dramatic results in just one treatment, but you may opt for a second treatment after six months with annual maintenance treatments after. In addition to sagging jowls, Profound RF is a great treatment for anyone who is bothered by aging signs such as droopy skin, wrinkles, and even cellulite.
Although sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, it can lower some people’s self-esteem and self-confidence. Before turning to a treatment like Profound RF, many people turn to facial exercises, which have been promoted as an alternative to medical procedures for facial rejuvenation. However, recent studies have shown that there is simply not enough evidence to prove the effectiveness of facial exercises, including massage, acupuncture, and muscle stimulation. So far, there is simply insufficient data to conclude that facial exercises are effective at reducing the signs of aging.
Until then, Profound RF is a minimally invasive treatment option to address aging concerns in the face and has been shown to be highly effective with minimal downtime. Talk to your doctor today to see if you are a candidate for the treatment.
