Tampa’s holiday season fills up fast with family photos, work parties and dinners with friends and family. If you’re thinking about getting a skin treatment like Profound RF microneedling to refresh your look before the holidays kick into full gear, now is an ideal time to start.
While Profound RF microneedling delivers excellent tightening and smoothing results, there is a short recovery window right after treatment and results will show up gradually on the skin. Thus, starting in October gives your skin time to heal and begin showing results before your calendar fills up with holiday activities.
What Is Profound RF Microneedling?
Profound RF pairs fine microneedles with radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the skin’s surface. This allows the device to gently heat the deeper layers to stimulate the skin’s own production of collagen and hyaluronic acid, two important building blocks for firm, youthful-looking skin. Because the treatment works from the inside out, results continue to improve for months after a single session as collagen continues to build.
What Can Profound RF Microneedling Treat?
On the face, Profound RF addresses fine lines, deeper wrinkles, volume loss and skin that has started to droop along the jawline or neck. On the body, it can also be used to smooth cellulite on the thighs, hips and buttocks and to tighten loose skin on the arms, abdomen and thighs, making it a flexible option whether your goal is a firmer face for holiday photos or smoother skin under a party dress.
What to Expect During Recovery
Most of our Tampa patients notice some redness, minor bruising, swelling and soreness right after treatment. For this reason, we recommend planning for about a week of social downtime as your skin heals. Normal activities usually resume within 24 hours, but visible redness and swelling can take closer to a week to fully settle. So if you book your appointment for October, your skin should be healed and ready to debut well before Thanksgiving.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Many people see a noticeable difference after a single Profound RF session, since the treatment triggers new collagen production that continues over time. Results typically develop over 3 to 6 months, so one October treatment can still be improving well into the New Year. Men and women with more significant volume loss or looser skin sometimes choose a second session for added tightening.
Because results build for months rather than overnight, you want to give your skin time for downtime to pass and for the collagen rebuilding process to start showing improvement before holiday festivities.
