Do you guys know what I mean?
As a plastic surgeon in Chicago, I can understand your concern about the potential pain associated with Profound RF treatment. Profound RF, or Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling to improve the appearance of the skin.
The Profound RF procedure is designed to be relatively comfortable for patients, with most reporting only mild to moderate discomfort during the treatment. The microneedles used during the procedure create tiny, controlled injuries in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing response and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The radiofrequency energy delivered through the microneedles helps to further stimulate the skin's repair and renewal processes.
Prior to the treatment, a numbing cream is typically applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. During the procedure, patients may feel a slight pinching or pricking sensation, but the discomfort is generally well-tolerated. The level of pain experienced can vary depending on the individual's pain tolerance, the specific treatment area, and the settings used by the provider.
To help manage any discomfort, the provider may adjust the depth of the microneedles or the energy settings of the device. Additionally, they may provide a cooling device to help soothe the skin during and after the treatment. Most patients report that the discomfort is relatively mild and subsides quickly after the procedure is complete.
It's important to note that the level of pain experienced can also depend on the skill and experience of the provider performing the Profound RF treatment. Experienced providers who have received specialized training in the procedure are more likely to be able to minimize discomfort and ensure a comfortable experience for the patient.
If you have any concerns or specific questions about the pain associated with Profound RF treatment, I would encourage you to discuss them with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon in Chicago. They can provide you with a more personalized assessment and help you determine if Profound RF is the right treatment option for your skin concerns and desired outcomes.
