What Is Profound
RF?

Profound RF combines two proven technologies to achieve results that go deeper than traditional treatments. The process works like this:

Microneedling + Radiofrequency Energy

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries at precise depths in the skin. Radiofrequency energy then delivers targeted heat to the dermis—the deeper layer where your skin’s structural proteins live. This dual action stimulates your body’s natural production of three essential building blocks:

• Collagen — provides structure and firmness
• Elastin — gives skin its bounce and elasticity
• Hyaluronic acid — hydrates and plumps from within

Unlike topical treatments that work on the surface, Profound RF works at the foundational level of skin health. It doesn’t inject anything foreign; instead, it awakens your skin’s own regenerative machinery.

Profound RF is effective for a range of concerns:

• Jawline laxity and jowls — the lower face is one of the most popular treatment areas
• Skin laxity on the face and neck — tightening loose or sagging skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles — smoothing and softening fine lines
• Cellulite — body applications for skin texture improvement
• Overall skin texture and firmness — restoring a more youthful appearance

Many treatments stimulate collagen. Some stimulate elastin. Profound RF is the only technology clinically proven to create all three simultaneously—collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Results develop naturally over 3 to 6 months as your body builds these proteins. Most patients achieve their goals with a single treatment protocol at approximately $4,000—compared to multiple sessions required by many other treatments. This makes Profound RF an efficient choice for patients seeking meaningful, long-lasting improvement.

Profound RF vs Microneedling Alone

Standard microneedling stimulates collagen, but Profound RF adds radiofrequency energy to reach deeper tissue and create a more robust response. You’re getting more comprehensive skin remodeling.

Profound RF vs Laser Resurfacing

Both are effective, but they work through different mechanisms. Laser resurfacing removes layers of skin; Profound RF targets structural proteins deeper in the dermis without removing surface skin. The choice depends on your specific goals and skin concerns.

Profound RF vs Facelift

Profound RF is ideal for mild-to-moderate skin laxity. A surgical facelift addresses more significant laxity and sagging. Many patients choose Profound RF to improve skin quality and mild looseness before considering surgery—or to delay surgical intervention altogether.

Profound RF technology isn’t widely available. Dr. Huq’s clinic at Niagara Plastic Surgery Centre is the only Profound RF provider in the Niagara Region. With over 28 years of experience and board certifications (FRCSC, ABPS, FACS), Dr. Huq brings expertise and precision to every treatment in an accredited facility.

Profound RF is best suited for:

• Patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity looking for non-surgical improvement
• Those not yet ready for surgery or wanting to delay surgical intervention
• Anyone seeking natural-looking results that develop gradually
• Patients who value efficiency—meaningful results from a single treatment protocol

If you’re curious about whether Profound RF aligns with your goals, the next step is a consultation. Dr. Huq can assess your skin and discuss what’s achievable for you.
