Are you looking for the best non-surgical option for tightening the skin on your face? As it ends up, it isn’t just a single treatment. Instead, it is the combination of Profound® RF and CO2RE laser treatments.
When combined, these two procedures enhance each other, delivering stunning results for the majority of patients. If your goal is to roll back the hands of time without surgery, you can’t do better than Profound and CO2RE.
Ultherapy was once the best non-surgical skin tightening treatment. However, Profound has unseated it, and when combined with CO2 laser skin resurfacing, the results are often amazing.
But What About Ultherapy?
If you follow the world of med spa treatments, you might be confused by the idea of Profound being the top treatment. After all, hasn’t Ultherapy reigned supreme for years?
While it’s true that Ultherapy was the king, it is no longer the best skin tightening treatment on the market. There are several key factors that give Profound a leg up on the competition.
- Profound is less painful than Ultherapy, according to patients.
- Profound tends to offer longer-lasting results. With Ultherapy, a second treatment is needed within six months, while Profound can last over 2 to 5 years.
Together, these facts mean that while Ultherapy is a quality treatment, it just doesn’t hold up against Profound. And once you combine Profound with CO2 laser treatment, it is in a league of its own.
Why Combining Profound and CO2RE Works
When these two treatments come together, the skin is tightened and new dermal tissue is generated.
CO2RE is a form of laser skin resurfacing. Using a powerful cosmetic laser reduces age spots, improves skin texture, diminishes acne scars and even tightens the skin to a degree. Laser energy is used to remove the outermost layer of skin while also stimulating the natural healing process to encourage new skin growth and the creation of collagen and elastin.
Profound RF is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that combines radio frequency energy and microneedling. While it does not address issues with texture or coloration, it does help stimulate collagen production to a greater degree than CO2RE. The needles used in the Profound system help to create microscopic wounds that trigger the body’s natural healing process. New cell growth is activated, as is the formation of proteins that help make the skin plumper. The Profound is clinically proven to create the three basic fundamentals of our skin structure. Treatments can produce up to five times the elastin to give your skin flexibility and resilience, twice the collagen for the structure and support and produces hyaluronic acid for moisture and volume.
When combined, these two treatments play off of each other to maximize the results either would achieve on their own. For most patients, the end result is skin that is smoother, softer, plumper and overall younger-looking.
If you are interested in making the biggest difference possible in your skin, don’t settle for just one treatment. Instead, talk to your local med spa about the possibility of combining Profound RF treatment with CO2RE laser skin resurfacing.
