Sagging Skin
Profound RF skin tightening helps improve moderate skin laxity by delivering radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to support firmness, structure, and collagen remodeling.
Powerful energy treatment for multi-benefit, impactful results.
Monthly SpecialsProfound RF is an advanced radiofrequency microneedling treatment designed to tighten skin, remodel collagen, and improve texture on the face and body. Because it is a more intensive RF treatment, provider expertise, depth, energy placement, and patient selection matter. At Zavant, our skin experts use 20 years of laser, skin, and aesthetic experience to customize Profound RF with precision.
Book a ConsultationDuration: Profound RF treatments typically take 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the complexity of your treatment plan.
During Treatment: After numbing the treatment area, your provider will use the Profound RF device to deliver radiofrequency energy through fine microneedles beneath the skin. You may feel pressure, warmth, or intensity as targeted areas are treated.
Downtime: Profound RF downtime is more involved than lighter microneedling or facial treatments. Swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, firmness, and sensitivity are common during recovery. Your provider will review what to expect based on your treatment area and intensity.
Longevity: Profound RF results can be long-lasting because the treatment supports collagen and elastin remodeling. Natural aging continues, so maintenance or complementary treatments may be recommended over time.
Results: Profound RF results develop gradually as the skin remodels and collagen support improves. Patients may begin to notice firmer, smoother skin within weeks, with continued improvement over the following months.
Aftercare: After Profound RF treatment, you may be advised to avoid heat, strenuous exercise, alcohol, sun exposure, exfoliating products, retinoids, and pressure on the treated area for a short period of time. A comprehensive post-care guide will be provided to you.
Kybella may be recommended for patients whose double chin needs more than one approach. Profound RF helps address under-chin fullness while supporting tightening and firmness, while Kybella targets submental fat for a more defined lower-face and neck profile. These treatments are scheduled at different times as part of a customized double chin treatment plan.
LEARN MOREDermal filler may be recommended at a separate appointment for patients with age-related volume loss in addition to skin laxity. Profound RF helps tighten and remodel the skin, while filler restores structure, contour, and facial balance in areas where volume has naturally changed over time.
LEARN MORESculptra may be recommended at a later appointment for patients who want collagen support, facial balancing, or subtle volume restoration in addition to skin tightening. Profound RF helps tighten and remodel the skin, while Sculptra supports gradual collagen-building structure over time.
LEARN MOREProfound RF delivers radiofrequency energy through fine microneedles into targeted layers beneath the skin. The controlled heat creates a remodeling response, encouraging the body to produce new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which are key components of firmer, smoother, more resilient skin. Over time, this process can improve laxity, wrinkles, texture, acne scars, stretch marks, cellulite, and overall skin quality.
Book a TreatmentProfound RF recovery can include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, firmness, and sensitivity in the treated area. Downtime varies based on the area treated, the intensity of your Profound RF treatment, and your individual healing response, but most patients should expect a more involved recovery than lighter RF microneedling treatments.
Profound RF results develop gradually as collagen, elastin, and skin remodeling build beneath the surface. Some patients notice early firmness as swelling improves, but the most visible Profound RF before and after changes typically appear over the following weeks to months.
Yes. Profound RF for jowls can help improve lower-face laxity, tissue softness, and skin firmness. It is a strong option for patients with early jowling or mild to moderate loose skin who want a more supported, tightened lower-face profile without surgery.

Profound RF, Vivace RF, and Secret RF are all radiofrequency microneedling treatments, but they are not the same.

Your provider will recommend the best option after evaluating your skin and downtime preferences.
Profound RF can feel intense because it delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin through fine microneedles, however numbing is used to improve comfort, and your provider will talk you through what to expect based on the treatment area, whether you are treating the face, neck, under chin area, acne scars, cellulite, or body contouring concerns.

Profound RF may be a strong choice for loose skin, deep wrinkles, jowls, under-chin fullness, acne scars, stretch marks, cellulite, or poor texture. If your main concern is volume loss, pigmentation, surface damage, or more advanced sagging, your provider may recommend filler, Sculptra, CO2 laser resurfacing, Morpheus8, Ultherapy, Kybella, or another customized Zavant treatment plan.
Kybella and Profound RF treat double chin concerns differently. Kybella is designed to target submental fat beneath the chin, while Profound RF can help address under-chin fullness while also supporting skin tightening and firmness.
