RF Microneedling with Profound in Houston, TX

Facial plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony E. Brissett utilizes a special technique that creates excellent results for our patients in Houston, TX with a treatment called radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. RF treatments have been around for a number of years and are popular in the cosmetic industry for their skin tightening effects. This specific sort of therapy utilizes heat to stimulate the creation of collagen deep within the skin to reveal a tighter, smoother surface. This technique is then used in conjunction with microneedling in order to optimize the outcomes. At Dr. Anthony E. Brissett, we utilize a groundbreaking device known as Profound that produces firmer skin, a smoother texture, and a glowing complexion.

A handful of causes can lead to flat, sagging skin along with uneven skin texture. Houston, TX patients who experience such skin symptoms might find that RF microneedling is a fantastic fix for their issues, allowing for benefits from the procedure, including:

• Better skin feel, balance, and texture
• Stimulation of the body's natural elastin and collagen growth for lasting results
• Softened, radiant skin that has a natural result
• Overall enhancements to the look of your skin and your self-confidence

If you're 40 years old or older and are beginning to notice discoloration, smile lines, age spots, and other skin problems, RF microneedling with Profound could be the ideal treatment for you. This treatment is an excellent choice if you wish to:

• Firm your skin, producing a more refreshed appearance
• Enhance skin feel, tone, and pigment
• Treat skin irregularities, like discoloration and blood vessels
• Reduce the look of age spots and sun damage
• Treat acne scars and other forms of discoloration
• Rejuvenate skin for a younger, glowing look

Microneedling uses a tool with tiny needles at the end that is rolled carefully around the skin to puncture and make micro-injuries that interrupt the tissues and produce collagen. New collagen and elastin begin to increase in the area as the skin heals, leaving the surface feeling and looking smoother, brighter, and rejuvenated. Combining this advanced technique with RF microneedling technology has enabled us to optimize the results for our Houston, TX patients.

The Profound device works by providing short pulses of radiofrequency energy via an array of 25 sterile, gold-plated microneedles. The energy is transmitted through the needles, which simultaneously puncture your skin and circle back the electrodes to the surface of the skin. The radiofrequency energy warms deeper layers of the skin at levels that offer cumulative and continuing benefits.

The procedure will take place in-house at our facility utilizing a numbing cream to minimize any discomfort you may feel. During the treatment, the Profound handpiece will slide across the desired treatment areas, repeating the technique until the desired results have been reached. Patients should anticipate tiny pinpoint scabs to become pronounced 24 – 72 hours after treatment, which will naturally shed when the inherent skin has healed. Outcomes become visible as the skin heals over the 3 – 4 weeks after having a microneedling with RF treatment. Optimal results generally need 3 – 4 treatments one month apart.
