Fillers, chemical peels, and other nonsurgical aesthetic therapies are great but have limitations. They may not be an appropriate option for individuals with more moderate signs of aging. Many patients at Perfect Skin MD are not ready, nor do they wish to undergo, surgical treatments such as a facelift or “tummy tuck.” Enter Profound^® RF treatment to bridge the gap. When searching for an “alternative to surgery near me,” look no further than Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Susan Schroeder and her line-up of advanced rejuvenating treatments in Juno Beach, Florida.

We’ve highlighted how to get firmer, smoother skin without going under the knife in four key steps.

No. 1: Schedule a consultation.

During your visit, Dr. Schroeder will evaluate if you are a candidate for Profound RF^® or if you may benefit from alternative products and/or therapies. Profound RF^® treats both the face and body. It can soften scars and wrinkles, tighten skin, and restore defined contours.

No. 2: Prepare for your treatment.

If you decide to proceed with Profound^®, we will review care instructions at every step. Generally, staying well-hydrated in the days leading up to treatment is important. You should avoid alcoholic beverages for a week before your appointment. To minimize the risk of bruising, refrain from taking any NSAIDs (like ibuprofen and aspirin) for one week prior. 

No. 3: Treat your trouble spots.

All Profound^® procedures start by numbing your skin with topical anesthetic cream. Next, we provide Pronox (nitrous oxide laughing gas that you control) while tiny needles are used to numb your face with dilute anesthetic. Once fully numb, a handheld device is used to treat the targeted treatment sites. This device creates tiny microchannels and precise temperatures in the skin, causing controlled heat energy and damage, which stimulates the tissues to heal. This precise combination of radiofrequency and microneedling supports “profound” results by doubling collagen and increasing elastin five-fold with every pulse. No other technology of its kind can do that! Treatment can be completed in 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas to be targeted.

No. 4: See your improved skin!

Side effects typically last 7-9 days and consist of red discoloration, swelling, and bruising at the sites. These effects may be camouflaged with makeup. This is a true minimal-downtime procedure that supports maximum results. Results can be sustained for two to three years with a single treatment session. You may also notice some improvement instantly, while these enhancements only improve over time as more collagen and elastin are produced.
