Two Concerns, One Advanced Solution

Skin laxity and cellulite often develop together, yet most treatments only address one concern at a time. At Leif Rogers, MD, we offer Profound treatments to patients in Beverly Hills and Pasadena seeking a single, FDA-cleared solution that improves both firmness and texture in the same treatment course.

What Is Profound?

Profound is an FDA-cleared radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that delivers precise thermal energy deep into the tissue responsible for skin firmness and structural support. This extensive reach makes it uniquely suited for improving both laxity and cellulite in a single series. Here, we tailor every treatment to your exact needs, and your Profound session can help you achieve the following benefits:

FDA-cleared results backed by clinical data
Improvement in skin laxity across the face and body
Visible reduction in cellulite dimpling
Long-lasting collagen and elastin stimulation

Why Choose Leif Rogers, MD?

Profound's results depend on delivering energy to a very specific tissue depth, and even small variations in technique can significantly affect outcomes. Our team has received extensive training in Profound's protocols, and every treatment plan is reviewed by our founder, Dr. Leif Rogers, MD, FACS, to ensure a surgical understanding of tissue structure. This clinical foundation allows us to set realistic expectations and build a treatment plan that’s fully customized to your body. Here, we treat Profound with the same gravity and precision as our surgical procedures. Our focus is on delivering anatomically aligned, gentle treatments that work with your body to remodel tissue rather than overpower it with unnecessarily harsh procedures.

What to Expect From Your Profound Treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena

Reaching the Right Tissue Depth

Profound's needles deliver radiofrequency energy at a depth calibrated to reach the specific tissue layers responsible for firmness and structural support. Your aesthetician will adjust your device settings based on whether laxity, cellulite, or both concerns are being addressed during your session.

A Whole-Body Focus

Profound is versatile across several areas of the face and body, and common treatment areas include the following:

Jawline
Lower face
Neck
Décolletage
Thighs
Buttocks
Hips
Abdomen

During your private, one-on-one consultation, your aesthetician will assess your concerns and determine whether Profound is suitable for all of your intended treatment areas. Depending on your body, they may suggest an alternative treatment that’s better suited to your skin and tissue health.

Your Day-Of Experience

Your aesthetician will apply a topical numbing agent well before your session begins, allowing sufficient time for it to take effect in the deepest layers of tissue. Once your skin is ready, they’ll guide the Profound device across your treatment area with careful, consistent movements for even results. Sessions typically last 45-90 minutes, depending on the size of your treatment area.

Establishing Your Treatment Schedule

Most patients complete a single Profound session per treatment area, since its deeper energy delivery is designed to achieve meaningful results without requiring a lengthy series. Some patients choose a second session several months later to refine their results further and target emerging signs of aging.

Gentle, Patient-Centered Recovery

Recovery after Profound treatments in Beverly Hills and Pasadena is typically more intense than with lighter skincare procedures, and you should plan for roughly three to five days of downtime. Most patients experience noticeable swelling, redness, and tenderness for several days following their session, with some bruising possible depending on the treatment area.

Depending on your treatment area, we may provide you with compression garments to help reduce early swelling. Typically, patients return to normal social activities within a few days, though you’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise for at least one week. Swelling in body areas like the thighs may take slightly longer to resolve than facial treatment sites. We recommend resuming light movement, such as short walks, early to encourage circulation and lymphatic drainage.

Schedule a Consultation

Your Post-Treatment Process

Following your Profound session, our team will provide you with a detailed aftercare plan, given the treatment's more involved recovery process. This plan may include the following:

Compression garment guidance
Swelling and bruising management strategies
Sun protection and exposure requirements
Hygiene recommendations
Side effects to monitor
Activity limitations
Sleep position restrictions, if applicable

You'll return to either our Beverly Hills or Pasadena practice for a follow-up visit with your aesthetician a few weeks after your initial treatment. There, your aesthetician will evaluate your healing and discuss whether a second session would benefit your results.

Lasting Firmness and Smoother Texture

Because Profound stimulates deep collagen and elastin production, results build gradually over several months as new supportive tissue forms. Most patients notice improved firmness and reduced cellulite dimpling around three to six months after treatment, with results lasting for several years in many patients.

Profound Frequently Asked Questions

How is Profound different from Morpheus?

Profound delivers radiofrequency energy to deeper layers of tissue than Morpheus, making it particularly effective for treating more significant skin laxity and cellulite. Morpheus is often better suited for improving mild to moderate skin laxity, contouring, and overall skin texture.

Is Profound a good alternative to a surgical facelift or body lift?

Profound can noticeably improve mild to moderate skin laxity without surgery, but it is not a substitute for a surgical facelift or body lift when significant excess skin is present. During your consultation, your aesthetician will help determine which treatment best aligns with your goals.

Why does Profound only require one session instead of a series?

Profound delivers a higher concentration of radiofrequency energy in a single treatment than many other skin-tightening procedures. This stimulates substantial collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in the deeper layers of the skin, allowing many patients to achieve meaningful results with just one session.

Will Profound results look natural?

Yes. Because Profound stimulates your body's natural production of collagen and elastin, improvements develop gradually over time and produce natural-looking results rather than an overcorrected appearance.

Can Profound treat cellulite on areas besides the thighs?

Yes. In addition to the thighs, Profound can be used to improve cellulite on areas such as the buttocks and abdomen. Your aesthetician will customize the treatment depth and technique based on the area being treated and your specific concerns.
