While on your quest for healthy, youthful looking skin, you may have considered facial rejuvenation procedures. There are many existing treatments that can help with facial rejuvenation, but the most common are Profound RF and Ultherapy. Both of these treatments are designed to reduce the signs of aging and improve the appearance of the skin, but there are three key ways that make Profound RF the most effective skin tightening procedure.
Comfortability
One of the key differences between Profound RF vs Ultherapy is the way the treatment works. Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology, and Profound RF uses radiofrequency technology. Profound RF also uses microneedling to penetrate deep into the skin, providing the best results. Both treatments are used to generate heat and stimulate the tissue to produce more collagen. However, most people report a great deal of discomfort during Ultherapy due to the lack of anesthesia used. With Profound RF, anesthetic is required with treatment, allowing you to feel completely comfortable during the procedure.
Multiple Treatment Areas
While Ultherapy only treats the face and neck area, Profound RF can treat other areas of the body. This includes the legs, thighs, and buttocks. This can be especially helpful if you have cellulite on areas of your body that you want to treat with a nonsurgical procedure.
Fewer Treatments
One of the most convenient aspects of Profound RF vs Ultherapy is that you will typically only need one treatment with Profound RF. With Ultherapy, results start to decline as early as a year after treatment, requiring a second treatment at six months. Profound RF results last up to two years, or even longer depending on your individual circumstances, making it the most effective skin tightening procedure on the market. This not only saves you time, but it will save you money. One treatment of Profound RF costs less than multiple Ultherapy treatments, allowing you to get the most bang for your buck.
If you’re considering Profound RF, it is important to consult with a cosmetic surgeon or a licensed skincare center. They will be able to assess the condition of your skin and conduct a treatment plan that is suited to your individual needs.
