Profound Treatment Overview
Depth-Driven Regeneration for Skin Structure
Profound uses temperature-controlled radiofrequency delivered through microneedles to reach the deeper dermal layers where collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are produced. Unlike treatments focused on texture or tone, Profound addresses the structural components responsible for firmness, elasticity, and support.
At Gerrish MedEsthetics, Profound is selected when a single, decisive regenerative stimulus is appropriate. Treatment planning prioritizes long-term tissue response, recovery capacity, and facial balance rather than repetitive sessions.
Every plan balances art and science. Not every concern requires this level of intervention.
How Profound Is Used Within AGE Technologies™
Technology Is a Tool. Timing Is the Treatment.
Profound may be considered based on:
• Loss of firmness or structural support
• Skin laxity in the face, neck, or jawline
• Desire for regeneration without surgery
• Skin resilience and healing capacity
• Preference for a single-session approach
All decisions are guided by The AGE Method™, Dr. Gerrish’s proprietary diagnostic and sequencing framework. Profound is used when deep regenerative signaling is needed and when other technologies would be insufficient or redundant.
Clinical Guardrails
What We Don’t Do Matters
• We do not use Profound as routine tightening
• We do not repeat Profound unnecessarily
• We do not overheat tissue
• We do not ignore recovery timelines
• We do not position Profound as a substitute for surgery
Profound requires precision, judgment, and respect for tissue response.
What Can Be Addressed
Profound may be appropriate for addressing:
• Skin laxity in the face or neck
• Loss of firmness along the jawline
• Fine lines related to structural weakening
• Reduced skin elasticity over time
Suitability is determined during consultation. Profound is not intended for surface texture correction or pigmentation concerns.
Target Areas
• Lower face
• Jawline
• Neck
• Select areas of facial laxity where structural support is needed
Profound is not a full-face resurfacing treatment. It is used selectively, based on anatomy, skin behavior, and regenerative readiness.
What to Expect
Session Length: Approximately 60–90 minutes
Comfort: Local anesthesia is used
Downtime: Swelling or tenderness may occur and typically resolves over several days
Aftercare: Gentle skincare and sun protection are recommended during recovery. AGE ClockWork™ homecare is introduced to support healing, protect skin integrity, and extend results between treatments.
Results develop gradually as regenerative processes unfold.

Quick answers to questions you may have
Q: What makes Profound different from other RF microneedling treatments?
A: Profound is designed to reach and heat deeper dermal layers at a precise temperature, stimulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in a single session. Other RF microneedling devices focus on repeated, surface-level stimulation.
Q: How long do results last?
A: Many patients experience results that continue to evolve over several months and may last up to two years. Longevity depends on skin condition, aging factors, and supportive care such as AGE ClockWork™.
Q: Is Profound a replacement for surgery?
A: No. Profound supports structural regeneration but does not replicate surgical lifting. It is selected for patients seeking non-surgical improvement with realistic expectations.
Q: Can Profound be combined with other treatments?
A: In some cases, yes. Profound may be sequenced with other AGE Technologies™ or AGE Essentials™ when skin readiness allows. Knowing how and when to layer treatments is where Dr. Gerrish and the team’s expertise matters most.
Is Profound Right for You?
Profound may be appropriate if you:
• Want meaningful firming without surgery
• Prefer a single-session regenerative approach
• Understand that results develop over time
• Value physician-directed treatment planning
Some concerns may be better served by other AGE Technologies™. This is determined during consultation.
Next Steps
Begin with The AGE Method™
Profound is introduced only when it supports your long-term skin structure and regenerative capacity. Every plan begins with The AGE Method™, Dr. Gerrish’s proprietary diagnostic and planning process.
During your consultation, we assess skin behavior, laxity patterns, recovery tolerance, and goals to determine if Profound should be used, when it should be introduced, and how it should be sequenced within your care plan
