Profound Builds Elastin & Collagen for Smoother, Tighter Skin –
Within our skin, two proteins work together to provide us with smooth, elastic skin: collagen and elastin. Collagen is responsible for the skin’s structure; keeping it smooth and firm. Elastin, on the other hand, is responsible for elasticity. But as we grow older, our bodies’ levels of collagen and elastin decrease, leaving us with wrinkles, lines, and sagging, loose skin.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to obtain tighter skin, regardless of a person’s age? At AMAE Med Spa in Troy, MI area, such a solution is now a reality!
In 2020 we have added the newly released Profound radiofrequency microneedling treatment. This remarkable procedure has been clinically proven to both stimulate the production of collagen and build elastin. With Profound RF microneedling, patients can expect tighter skin than they’ve had in many years.
In this article, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali discusses why Profound RF microneedling is ideal for anyone wishing for youthful, smoother, tighter skin.
How Does Elastin Build Tighter Skin?
By coiling in a spring-like fashion within the connective tissues of the body, elastin is responsible for providing the body’s tissue with elasticity. Without elastin, organs such as the heart, lungs, skin, and many others would be incapable of maintaining their shape after being stretched or contracted.
By the time we reach our mid 20’s, our body’s elastin begins to break down and lose its ability to recoil. This is why we have tighter skin earlier in life than we do as we age. Generally, the body stops producing elastin by the time we finish puberty.
In order for the body to build new elastin required for tighter skin, the skin must first be subjected to just the right amount of damage. By breaking down old, worn out elastin, the skin’s healing processes trigger more elastin to be produced.
Heating the skin is an excellent way to produce the kind of “damage” needed to kickstart the healing process, which is precisely why Profound microneedling is performed with radiofrequency energy.
How Does Collagen Build Tighter Skin?
Of the many proteins contained within the body, collagen is the most plentiful. Responsible for holding together every single part of the body, collagen sometimes referred to as the glue of the human body.
But despite its critical roll in our anatomy, the body’s production of collagen begins to slow down significantly. Statistically speaking, by the time we reach 25, our bodies begin to break down more collagen than we produce. With collagen and elastin both significantly diminished by this point in our lives, it is no wonder Profound microneedling has become so popular among our Troy, MI area patients.
Certain steps may be taken, however, to avoid putting unnecessary strain on these crucial proteins. If you’re in your mid 20s and your aim is to have tighter skin than your peers for years to come, start by cutting two things out of your routine: smoking and sun exposure. Both tobacco smoke and ultraviolet like are highly degrative to both collagen and elastin, and can cause skin to wrinkle and sag from an early age.
But for anyone in the Troy, MI area area who is interested in restoring their skin’s collagen and elastin levels, we offer a groundbreaking solution in Profound RF microneedling. With Profound, patients are afforded tighter skin with the smooth, youthful complexion that only radiofrequency energy can achieve.
How Profound Builds Collagen & Elastin for Tighter Skin
By carefully applying RF-generated heat energy to the elastin and collagen of the skin, Profound stimulates the creation of the proteins required for tighter skin.
Board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali performs the Profound treatment by inserting microneedle electrodes into the fat’s subcutaneous layer, distributing RF energy and triggering the natural healing process required to produce elastin and collagen.
Additionally, Profound microneedling also stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid, another substance produced by the body to yield smoother, tighter skin.

4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs
/in CoolSculpting, Thigh Lift /by admin4 Ways to Get Thinner Thighs –
Of all areas of the body, the thighs are among the most difficult from which to lose fat. And while lifestyle adjustments like dieting and exercising are important to losing weight, they can only do so much to thin thighs. While we can control (to some extent) how much weight we lose, we have absolutely no control over where weight loss occurs on our body. And, arguably, no area is more diet-and-exercise-resistant than the thighs – something that leads many on the search for some kind of medical thigh reduction solution.
For such individuals, at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, we offer four cutting-edge non-surgical and surgical thigh reduction and toning procedures. In this article, we’ll discuss how despite being such an infamous “problem area,” thinner thighs can now be a reality for anyone.
Liposuction for Thinner Thighs
Out of every thigh reduction option available to our patients, liposuction is perhaps the most popular. By gently removing excess fat from the thigh area, liposuction is a safe and effective means of attaining thinner thighs. Less invasive than thigh lift surgery, thigh reduction liposuction also has a shorter recovery time.
Through the use of tiny tubes called micro-cannulas, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon gently dislodges fat from the treatment area. The micro-cannulas then suck the fat from the thigh, resulting in thinner thighs than ever before.
Usually, this particular thigh reduction procedure requires only light anesthesia. Liposuction patients are afforded thinner thighs with only a few days of downtime – far less than with thigh lift surgery.
CoolSculpting for Thinner Thighs
CoolSculpting for thigh reduction is a completely non-invasive, non-surgical method of obtaining thinner thighs. Unlike liposuction, which simply removes unwanted fat via suction, CoolSculpting instead physically freezes the fat cells of the treatment area. In the weeks that follow, these unwanted fat cells will die, collapse, and be naturally eliminated from the body. While highly effective at getting rid of fat, CoolSculpting does not result in the body contouring produced by liposuction.
And, while CoolSculpting is a safe and effective way to get thinner thighs, patients should not expect immediate results. In most cases, it takes a few weeks for full thigh reduction results to become visible. Furthermore, while liposuction can provide thigh reduction with just one trip to our Troy, MI area practice, CoolSculpting delivers peak results only through a series of treatments.
Profound for Tighter, Toned Thighs
When performed on its own – or in combination with fat loss from liposuction or CoolSculpting –amazing new Profound radiofrequency skin tightening can help patients achieve firm toned thighs!
This revolutionary thigh reduction procedure is as effective as it is groundbreaking. Using radiofrequency energy, Profound RF skin tightening is able to deliver incredible, toned results completely non-surgically. With results that last, patients can say goodbye to sagging, lax, or loose thigh skin.
Thigh Lift Surgery for Thinner Thighs
Unlike the other less invasive thigh reduction procedures, thigh lift surgery is a more invasive, but extremely effective, way to get thinner thighs. Many of our Troy, MI area patients visit us for thigh lift surgery as a way to get rid of stubborn fat, but the procedure is equally effective at removing and tightening significantly loose or excess skin.
During thigh lift surgery an incision is made under anesthetic, and Dr. Ali removes fat and surgically reshapes and tightens the tissue. He will also remove excess outer skin and redrape it to offer a smooth, proportionate looking contour.
Deep support sutures will be placed in the underlying tissues to ensure that the new shape of the thinner thigh area remains in place. Then, Dr. Ali will close the skin incisions with sutures. Dr. Ali will take great care to make incisions in areas that will be masked by most clothing and bathing suits.
Thinner Thigh Procedures – Troy, MI area
Whether you’re looking to get rid of stubborn fat or to simply tighten the skin of your thighs, we have the solution you need. The thigh reduction experts at our Troy, MI area practice are just a call away, waiting to help you get the thinner thighs you’ve been dreaming of.
Contact AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa today, and schedule a consultation – it’s the first step on your journey to your ideal physique.

Profound: the New Non-Surgical Butt Lift
/in Brazilian butt lift, Front Page Posts, Skin Tightening /by adminProfound: The New Non-Surgical Butt Lift
Profound Radiofrequency Microneedling is a new, advanced procedure that is capable not only of tightening the patient’s skin, but can also dramatically increase volume, plumpness, and elasticity in the treatment area. For these reasons, when applied to the face, Profound Radiofrequency Microneedling is occasionally referred to as the non-surgical facelift. At AMAE Med Spa in Birmingham, MI, when used to tone and tighten the buttocks, the procedure is sometimes referred to as a “non-surgical butt lift”.
In this article, board certified Birmingham, MI plastic surgeon Dr. Ali discusses the many benefits of the Profound Butt Lift, providing prospective patients with everything they need to know about this remarkable new procedure.
How Profound Non-Surgical Butt Lift Works
The incredible, non-surgical results of the Profound Butt Lift are achieved through the use of cutting-edge radiofrequency technology. Using a specialized method of microneedling, the Profound delivers radiofrequency energy to the deepest dermal layers of the treatment area. The Profound Butt Lift is capable of directing radiofrequency energy directly to specifically targeted layers of skin, enabling Dr. LAi to firm, tighten, lift and contour the buttocks,
The clinical grade needles used to penetrate the skin of the treatment area are of an extremely fine width, which allow for the radiofrequency energy to reach deep within the dermis. This thermal energy triggers what is known as the “thermocollagenesis” effect, wherein the natural healing processes of the skin stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. As the skin cells are regenerated, patients experience tighter more youthful skin – and plumper more shapely and voluminous curves.
Profound Non-Surgical Butt Lift Results
Profound butt lift patients can typically expect to see visible results from their procedure as rapidly as four to six weeks after treatment. And over the course of the following three to six months, the dramatic, long-lasting results of the Profound butt lift only continue to improve.
At AMAE Plastic surgery & Med Spa, we take great pride in offering personalized care that meets the needs of everyone in the lively and diverse Birmingham, MI community. Unlike many older laser treatments, Profound Radiofrequency Microneedling treatments- including the Profound Butt Lift – can be safely performed on patients of any and all skin colors and tones.
Despite only taking about an hour or so to administer, the Profound butt lift provides an impressive roster of benefits. With minimal to no side effects, the Profound butt lift can:
Profound Non-Surgical Butt Lift Reduces Cellulite
In addition to toning, lifting and tightening the buttocks, Profound also reduces the appearance of cellulite.
The unsightly, rippled appearance of cellulite is known to develop on bodies of all shapes and sizes. In fact, the amount of fat a person has does not determine whether or a person will get cellulite at all. Instead, it is the result of the specific way one’s body holds certain fat deposits. Fortunately for anyone in Birmingham, MI with concerns about cellulite on their backside, the Profound butt lift can provide relief.
The dermis and the muscle are connected to one another via fibrous cords of tissue called septae. The septae forms a vertical pattern with small pockets of adipose (fat) tissue filling up the uneven sections between them. When the fat cells are pushed towards the surface of the skin, the dreaded lumpiness of cellulite becomes visible. But through the Profound butt lift, saying goodbye to cellulite is as simple as booking at appointment at our Birmingham, MI medical spa.
Profound Non-Surgical Butt Lift – Birmingham, MI
At AMAE Med Spa in Birmingham, MI, we offer Profound skin tightening treatment as a non-surgical way to achieve many of the same benefits of traditional butt lift surgery – without the pain, expense or downtime. Get a lifted, tighter toned butt – and get rid of cellulite – with a Profound butt lift. Call today for more information.

Should I Get A Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?
/in Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift /by adminShould I Get A Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?
At AMAE Plastic Surgery in Troy, MI area, many patients come to us asking whether their cosmetic goals will be better achieved with breast augmentation surgery or with breast lift surgery. Since both procedures can result in a youthful, confidence-boosting silhouette, it can seem a little tricky choosing the right one. Both surgeries come with their own unique benefits, and some women even ultimately wind up deciding to get both procedures.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some crucial deciding factors in choosing between a breast lift, breast augmentation, or both!
Differences between Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation
When considering a breast lift versus breast augmentation, one must first understand what makes the two procedures unique. To put it quite simply, breast lift surgery is performed to change the position and shape of the patient’s existing breast tissue, while breast augmentation is performed to increase the patient’s breast size. For this reason, at our Troy, MI area practice, we often perform both procedures on the same patient.
Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery is performed by making an incision in each breast, after which the skin and tissue of the treatment area is carefully lifted. This results in a tighter, firmer breast shape, which is retained by closing and tightening the incision. Unlike breast augmentation, nothing is implanted within the breast itself.
Breast lift patients can expect their breasts to feel firmer, accentuated by the perky “lifted” appearance from which the procedure gets its name. Breast lift surgery can correct the appearance of downward-pointing nipples, as well as restore the appearance of fullness, and correct the shape or position (height) of the existing breast tissue.
Since a breast lift does not increase or decrease the volume of the breast, patients may chose to have a breast augmentation or reduction performed in conjunction with their breast lift. Board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali has years of experience performing both procedures. When performed simultaneously, Dr. Ali is capable of delivering results of both breast lift and breast augmentation surgery that compliment one another in perfect harmony.
Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation patients can expect their procedure to result in larger, fuller breasts. At AMAE Plastic Surgery in Troy, MI area, we are capable of providing the exact increase in volume our breast augmentation patients desire. From the subtlest increase to something significantly more substantial, Dr. Ali and his expert team will not rest until the patient’s goals are met.
Unlike breast lift surgery, breast augmentation achieves its increased volume by making small incisions in the breasts, through which a saline or silicone implant is inserted. At our Troy, MI area practice, the implants we offer – made with either silicone or saline – have been approved by the FDA, and are both equally safe and effective.
Good Breast Lift Candidates
Breast lift surgery is an excellent option for sagging breasts and lax breast skin that is causing the breasts to hang low or point downward. During the breast lift procedure, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali removes excess skin from each breast, allowing him to lift the tissue and form a firmer, tighter shape. Breast lift surgery is also a popular choice among women who have undergone significant weight loss and have loose, lax or sagging skin as a result.
Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation
No matter how subtle or dramatic the increase, with breast augmentation, the size and shape of one’s bust can be adjusted to meet the exact and specific wants and needs of the patient. During your consultation with board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, you will be aided in determining exactly what type, shape and size of breast implant is right for you.
Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation Together
So ultimately, which is better: a breast lift or breast augmentation? This will depend upon each woman’s body and her personal aesthetic goals. For many women who have visited our Troy, MI area practice, the answer is unequivocally both! If you are interested in a tighter, lifted silhouette and increasing your cup size, breast lift and breast augmentation surgery may be the combination you’ve been looking for.

Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck Alternatives
/in Oakland County Plastic Surgery /by adminNon-Surgical Tummy Tuck Alternatives –
Tummy tucks, while very effective, can sometimes be cost prohibitive for patients – and can subject the patient to significant downtime. But thanks to remarkable advancements of aesthetic technology, a wide range of treatment options now exist as non-surgical tummy tuck alternatives. And, fortunately for anyone in the Troy, MI area area, we offer the best tummy tuck alternatives at AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa.
If you are interested in an alternative to a tummy tuck that offers fat reduction and smoothing and tightening of the abdominal skin, we offer 3 non-invasive treatments that may be right for you: liposuction, CoolSculpting and amazing new Profound skin tightening. These can be used separately or together for a highly effective non-surgical tummy tuck alternative!
Liposuction as a Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
Traditional tummy tuck surgery is almost always performed under general anesthetic. Liposuction, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive tummy tuck alternative that only requires local anesthetic. This eliminates the risks that come along with general anesthetic, one of the many benefits of this particular non-surgical tummy tuck alternative.
When performing liposuction, board certified Troy, MI area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali creates incisions that are so small – less than 3 mm in length – they can barely be noticed at all, and will gradually fade with time. Yet another reason to opt for this non-surgical tummy tuck!
The best liposuction candidates are either at or near their ideal, healthy weight, who wish to remove stubborn deposits of fat from specific areas. Additionally, this particular non-surgical tummy tuck treatment works best on patients with both good abdominal muscle tone and good skin elasticity.
CoolSculpting as a Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
Another excellent non-surgical tummy tuck alternative, CoolSculpting is a noninvasive procedure during which unwanted fat cells are frozen and destroyed, to be eliminated from the body through natural processes.
At our Troy, MI area practice, we tend to recommend CoolSculpting to those who are close to their target weight, but are looking for a non-surgical tummy tuck alternative to get rid of stubborn “problem areas” of fat.
Like liposuction, CoolSculpting also works best for people who have both toned abdominal muscles and good skin elasticity.
Profound Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
When performed on its own – or in combination with fat loss from liposuction or CoolSculpting – amazing new Profound radiofrequency skin tightening can give patients a firm, toned tummy!
At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we offer this best-in-its-class non-surgical tummy tuck alternative. Thanks to its use of radio-frequency energy, Profound RF Skin Tightening can significantly reduce the appearance of loose, sagging or lax skin with results proven to last.
Good Candidates for Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck
All of these procedures are all ideal for both men and women of almost any age who wish to achieve a flatter abdomen. At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, we consider a number of factors when evaluating prospective patients for a non-surgical tummy tuck procedure.
For starters, patients should be non-smokers, who are in generally good health. Patients should also be no more than 20lbs above their target weight, and should not require muscle tightening as part of their non-surgical tummy tuck procedure. Furthermore, non-surgical tummy tuck candidates should not require extensive skin to be removed as part of their treatment. Additionally, we remind our patients that if they have experienced separated abdominal muscles (a common occurrence after pregnancy), these procedures will not be capable of correcting this issue.
While Tummy Tuck surgery is the only way to actually remove loose skin and repair lax or torn abdominal muscles, liposuction, Coolsculpting and/or Profound can offer significant fat reduction and skin tightening in the abdominal area.
Non-Surgical Tummy Tuck Alternatives – Troy, MI area
At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in Troy, MI area, our patients can choose from a number of surgical and non-surgical tummy tuck alternatives.
The best way to find out which procedure best suits your needs – be it a traditional tummy tuck or a less invasive, non-surgical tummy tuck alternative – is to schedule a consultation with us. Call today and find out which procedure is best for you.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Pellets: FAQs
/in Hormone Replacement /by adminHormone Replacement Pellet Therapy: FAQs
At AMAE in Birmingham, MI we offer the safest, most natural and truly effective hormone replacement treatment in the form of BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellet therapy.
In this article, Birmingham, MI board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Ali, MD answers patients’ most frequently asked questions about BioTE® bioidentical hormone replacement pellet therapy.
What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Almost every aspect of human health and wellness is regulated by the body’s hormones. But, decreases or imbalances in the production of hormones puts a person at risk for a great number of health issues. Some of the many problems that can result from hormone imbalance include: loss of energy, weight gain (particularly belly fat), decreased sex drive, painful sex, thyroid problems, aging skin, osteoporosis and many more health problems.
Hormone replacement therapy is used to replace a patient’s missing or declining hormone levels, to restore the healthy functioning of the body’s many systems.
What is “BioIdentical” Hormone Replacement?
The hormones used in bioidentical hormone replacement are derived from natural sources and are structurally, identical to the actual human hormones that occur naturally within a person’s body.
The BioTE® hormone replacement pellets we offer our patients at AMAE in Birmingham, MI are chemically identical to human hormones, as well as completely naturally derived. BioTE® hormone replacement pellets are 100% derived from natural plant or animal sources, and are NOT synthesized in a lab like other hormone treatments.
Naturally restoring hormone balance to patients with bioidentical hormones can offer lasting relief from a wide variety of medical issues and symptoms that are caused by hormone deficiency.
How do Pellets Deliver Bioidentical Hormone Replacement?
BioTE® hormone replacement pellets are inserted under the patient’s skin, by Dr. Ali in our Birmingham, MI medical office. It is a quick 5 minute procedure that only requires a mild local anesthetic.
The pellets are time-released, and continue to release estrogen, and/or testosterone into the body incrementally and consistently over time – replacing the depleted or missing hormones and maintaining a healthy hormone balance.
Why are Hormone Pellets the Best Delivery Method?
Other methods of delivering hormone replacement – including pills and creams – only provide inconsistent delivery of hormones. So, the hormone levels do not stay level or balanced – and relief from symptoms is irregular and unpredictable. However sub-dermal (under-the-skin) time-released pellets deliver constant, consistent, and balanced delivery of the bioidentical hormones.
Why Choose BioTe Hormone Replacement Pellets?
At AMAE Med Spa, in Birmingham, MI Dr. Ali exclusively uses BioTE® natural bio-identical hormone replacement pellets because of their unparalleled quality and well established safety record. Every batch of BioTE® bioidentical hormone pellets is subjected to rigorous testing, to guaranteeing the highest quality.
The creation of the hormones used in BioTe hormone replacement pellet therapy is overseen by a dedicated FDA compliance officer. And the pellets used are compliant with the rigid FDA process of sterility and endotoxin control.

Better Sex with Vaginal Rejuvenation
Among the many components of a healthy romantic relationship is sexual intimacy. For many couples, their sexual relationship is the focal point of the early days of their partnership.

And the changes in a woman’s body due to childbirth and hormone decrease can negatively affect sexual enjoyment. At our Detroit area med spa, many of our vaginal rejuvenation patients come to us out of a desire for a better sex life.
By the time many couples find themselves with more time to devote to sexual intimacy, other factors may begin to present themselves that prevent them from doing so. Due to physical changes in a woman’s vagina (especially after menopause) laxity, dryness, and pain during intercourse can dampen a woman’s sexual enjoyment, as well as that of her partner. Maturing women and their partners often wish they could experience better sex. But thanks to vaginal rejuvenation, that desire can become a reality.
Vaginal rejuvenation can help correct the laxity, dryness, loss of sensation, and even vaginal pain that often follows childbirth and aging. At our Detroit area med spa, we perform Viveve vaginal rejuvenation to improve the tightness, tone, moisture, and all-around sensitivity of the vagina. Through vaginal rejuvenation, women can also eliminate pain during intercourse, and enjoy greater sensation that results in all-around better sex for both partners.
The incredible non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation procedure is capable of reversing myriad problems of female intimacy. Using groundbreaking radiofrequency technology, vaginal rejuvenation is able to improve the tightness, elasticity, lubrication, and all-around sensation of the vagina. With just one treatment, our patients access better sex -without the need for hormones or surgery.
Vaginal rejuvenation is performed using gentle, non-surgical radiofrequency to stimulate the vaginal tissue. This triggers the regeneration of the cells of the vagina, and promotes the production of collagen. The end result is a restored, tighter, more lubricated and elastic, youthful vagina – and better sex for both the patient and her partner.

At AMAE Plastic Surgery and Med Spa in the Detroit area, we proudly offer our patients the innovative new Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift.
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift is a form of radiofrequency treatment capable not only of tightening the patient’s skin, but also increasing volume and improving elasticity of tissue -particularly in wrinkles around the mouth and in the area around the jowls. The unparalleled results of this RF Non-Surgical Facelift treatment are due it its ability to stimulate the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Profound is so effective as an RF non-surgical facelift alternative, it has been clinically proven to produce results that match the effect of facelift surgery by as much as one-third or more.
With over 30 years of experience in his field, board certified Detroit area plastic surgeon Dr. Ali views the profound RF non-surgical facelift as one of the most remarkable advancements in the history of aesthetic medicine. This article focuses on the technical science behind the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift. For more general information read our Profound Non-Surgical Facelift FAQs.
The Science Behind Radiofrequency Non-surgical Facelifts
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift treatment is performed using a long-pulse, multi-bipolar, radio-frequency microneedling device. This allows for the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift to deliver precisely the correct amount of energy required to safely and reliably smooth and tighten the skin of the treatment area.
Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift vs CO2 Lasers
In addition to the Profound RF Non-Surgical facelift, we also offer our Detroit area patients CO2 laser skin resurfacing. While this procedure is an excellent way to treat facial lines and wrinkles, it does noting to improve the skin’s elasticity. The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift device is the first of its kind to receive approval from the FDA to promote the production of elastin.
The Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift is able to treat sagginess in the skin of the jowls, neck, and lower face in a way that a CO2 laser simply cannot. The Profound RF Non-Surgical facelift also has an advantage over CO2 laser treatments thanks to its superior ability to soften and improve wrinkles and lines surrounding the mouth.
And unlike a Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift, results from CO2 laser skin resurfacing are preceded by a lengthy period of redness. Additionally, the Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift has the added benefit of being able to treat skin anywhere on the body besides the eyelids. CO2 laser skin resurfacing, on the other hand, can only be performed on the face. And finally, CO2 laser skin resurfacing has the ability to permanently lighten the skin of the treatment area -something Profound RF Non-Surgical Facelift patients do not have to worry about.
