What is Profound?

Profound is a revolutionary new energy-based microneedling facial treatment designed to create new elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid—the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic. This is all without surgery, fillers, or toxins. Profound dramatically improves aging skin, taking years off of your appearance.

What are the Effects of a Lack of Elastin and Collagen as We Age?

Elastin is a protein that coils and recoils like a spring within the elastic fibers of connective tissue in the body, such as your skin. Elastin is what makes your skin, heart, lungs, and many other tissues “snap” back into shape after stretching or contracting. This material provides elasticity and collagen (another protein in your skin), which in turn provides structure to keep your skin smooth and firm.

However, as we age, our elasticity begins to disappear. This is due to simply living life. Factors such as sun exposure, the way you sleep, smoking, drinking, diet, stress, gravity, daily facial movement, and weight gain or loss can contribute to the loss of elasticity.

How much does Profound skin tightening cost?

Profound skin tightening treatments are customized to meet your specific aesthetic concerns. Pricing will depend on several factors such as the areas targeted and the total number of sessions, as well as on your age and overall health. We will offer you a personalized quote at the time of your confidential consultation.

How Does Profound Create Younger Skin?

Starting in our mid-20s, elastin starts to break down, becoming less elastic. It begins to lose its “spring”—think of a lumpy mattress as the springs become old and lose their ability to recoil. Profound skin tightening in Pittsburgh is a clinically proven treatment that builds elastin and collagen. By using a process called microneedling, we very carefully heat the skin’s elastin and collagen to an exact temperature, for an exact period of time. This leads to the creation of new elastin and collagen to repair aging skin.

We offer three Pittsburgh Profound treatments:

Profound Lift to treat sagging facial skin and loose skin under the neck
Profound Contour to define the jawline
Profound Smooth to treat other areas of loose skin on the body, including cellulite
