While traditional Micro Needling provides a boost, RF Needling amplifies the process. Heat created by the added RF energy also works to constrict underlying skin layers, helping to further smooth out even the most severe lines and wrinkles.

Micro-Needing using thin needles but can’t inject any type of active. Their purpose is solely to make a myriad of tiny ‘wounds’ that stimulate the skin to ‘heal’ via producing more collagen. Micro-Fillers involves using a cluster of short, thin multiple needles to inject a mix of active ingredients. These go directly into the middle layer of your epidermis improving effectivity.

Profound is clinically proven to create younger looking skin. Studies by Syneron Candela (the manufacturers of Profound) show a 100% response rate for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and a 95% response rate for improving skin sagging.

Results are typically visible six to eight weeks post-treatment once your skin’s moved through its natural healing process. Optimum results appear at three to six months.

During the treatment our doctor will numb the treatment area before using Profound so, most clients hardly experience any pain during or immediately after the treatment.

You will likely experience some discomfort in the days following as your skin starts its healing process, however we will work with you to manage this and make sure you remain as comfortable as possible.
