Profound® RF (Skin Tightening) in Largo, FL

Board-certified physician Dr. Ginger L. Urbaniak uses an exceptional approach that creates fantastic results for patients in Largo and Clearwater, FL, using a treatment with Profound RF technology. RF treatments with advanced Profound have existed for a number of years and are well known in the aesthetics industry for their skin tightening effects. This specific type of therapy utilizes heat to stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the deeper layers of the skin to reveal a tighter, smoother surface for both the face and body. Effective for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and creating a nonsurgical facelift effect, Profound microneedling can be beneficial in maximizing your results.

With the ability to create five times the amount of elastin in the skin, Profound can improve skin laxity and create a younger, firmer appearance. At Urbaniak Plastic Surgery, we frequently add this new advancement Clearwater-area individuals' skin treatments to generate lifted, tighter skin for our patients without the need for a more in-depth surgical procedure.

Not only can Profound RF be beneficial in creating lifted, firmer skin for the face, but it can also be used to effectively reduce the appearance of cellulite. While other RF and microneedling treatments may help to stimulate collagen, Profound RF is unique in that it helps restore elastin and hyaluronic acid in conjunction with collagen. Candidates for Profound may be desiring to experience the results of a facelift but are not ready to undergo a surgical procedure. Profound RF can offer beneficial, long-lasting results with less overall downtime. It can also be performed at any time of the year on all skin types.

During your Profound RF treatment, the temperature-controlled device utilizes microneedles to emit RF energy heat into the skin's lower level to stimulate elastin and collagen production. The RF energy, in the form of heat, is transmitted through the needles, which simultaneously punctures your skin and circles back the electrodes on the surface of the skin. The RF energy warms at levels that offer cumulative and ongoing results.

Not only does Profound RF allow for increased elastin and collagen, but it also helps with the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin. As the first FDA-cleared RF microneedling device, Profound can offer long-lasting results after one treatment at Urbaniak Plastic Surgery. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the entire process can take around 45 – 90 minutes to complete. 

Your microneedling sessions will be performed in the Urbaniak Plastic Surgery facility employing a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Downtime after RF microneedling with Profound is limited to minimal pinpoint bruising, which resolves in less than one week. Additionally, results may be seen as soon as one month and will continue to improve every month the entire first year. Our team at Urbaniak Plastic Surgery will also make great skin care recommendations to optimize results.

How many Profound RF microneedling treatments should I get?
Profound is unique in that only one treatment session is needed for optimal results. This allows you to achieve your desired outcome without having to receive multiple treatments. Our team at Urbaniak Plastic Surgery will let you know what to expect during your initial consultation at our facility.

What are the benefits of RF microneedling?
The RF microneedling procedure is effective and safe for most skin types, and it can be used on almost every area of the body and face. RF microneedling offers stunning improvements and very little downtime if you are not ready for a facelift or body lift surgery. 

Does RF microneedling hurt?
After a local anesthetic is put on the treatment area, you should have minimal discomfort during treatment. Throughout the treatment, our team will ask to ensure you are doing all right. After the anesthetic wears off, you may feel mild discomfort briefly while your skin is healing itself.
