By far one of the most popular anti-ageing treatments around, Profound works by creating new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid—the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and tight. The non-surgical face-lift whittles away years of damage in just a matter of minutes without any downtime.

During the procedure, small doses of pure hyaluronic acid are injected under specific conditions that are optimized to benefit skin cells—helping them produce a larger amount of collagen that gives your skin a youthful radiance.

The procedure takes around 30-60 minutes, depending on the area of treatment, and is usually pain-free. However, if you’re hypersensitive or have other medical conditions, the doctor may apply topical anaesthetic cream for your own comfort. You might experience redness or swelling after the procedure which can last anywhere from a few hours to a day or two.

Prior to treatment, we will have an individualized treatment consultation to determine your goals and to establish the target area for treatment. On the day of your treatment, the doctor will apply a local anaesthetic cream to help you manage any discomfort from the procedure. After the treatment, you can experience:

• Skin ageing process deceleration
• Skin moisturization and hydration
• Wrinkle resurfacing
• Skin elasticity improvement
• Pronounced lift effect
• Reduce Redness and blotchiness of skin
• Reduce hyperpigmentation

The treatment has a 100% response rate for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as a 95% response rate for improving skin sagging, according to Syneron Candela, the manufacturers of Profound. The end result is smoother-looking younger skin with minimal downtime.

Prior to the procedure, there are no specific limitations on medications however it’s recommended to avoid aspirin and other non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs against pain, temperature or inflammation a week before the procedure.

• Following the treatment, some patients may experience reactions such as bruising at the injection site, redness, formation of small nodules and so on which can last anywhere from a few hours to a day or two.
