DEEP SKIN NEEDLING
PROFOUND TREATMENT BY CANDELA MEDICAL
Performed exclusively by our Cosmetic Doctors
A revolutionary intensive skin needling treatment for the lower face, mid face & neck. Ideal for treatment of thin ‘crepey’ skin, mild to moderate wrinkles and skin laxity (sagging).
Local anaesthetic injections are used to numb the face and neck. Specialised needles are inserted deep into the skin tissue and heated to a precise temperature stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Unlike other needling treatments, only a single treatment is required.

The Profound treatment is primarily used to improve the thickness and elasticity of skin for the face and neck resulting in smoother tighter skin. The ideal candidate for Profound will be in overall good health, looking to improve the signs of aging, such as lax skin and diminishing facial volume. Potential patients should understand the Profound treatment, recovery, and hold reasonable expectations for their results.
Other treatments that use ultrasound and radiofrequency promise great results but delivery of heat into tissue isn’t measured and therefore, it is not guaranteed enough heat has been delivered uniformly into the tissue to induce skin rejuvenation and results may be less than optimum.
Other treatments may require a course of treatments to see results whereas with Profound, only a single treatment is recommended.
Refer to our Profound blog written by Dr Monique Krestan here to see how the two treatments compare.
A 5 micro needle hand piece is injected into the skin at an angle to allow for more precise exposure to the dermal layer (deeper layers of the skin). The needles deliver a very high amount of energy into the dermal tissue to heat it to the precise temperature known to induce optimum skin rejuvenation.
The process is repeated over the entire treatment area and takes around 2 hours.
This treatment is effective but not without ‘downtime’. You can expect mild to moderate swelling peaking at 48 hours after the treatment. Tenderness and bruising peaking at day 4 after the treatment. Bruising can be extensive but may be covered with make up. Side effects usually resolve with in 10-14 days.
Profound stimulates the tissue to regenerate itself so like most intensive skin treatments, the process takes time. You may see some results once swelling subsides but the majority of the affect is seen over 3-6 months. Studies have demonstrated regeneration of new dermal tissue in 10 weeks.
