Profound
Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser is excited to provide the Profound Lift, a revolutionary new energy-based face/neck or body treatment designed to create new elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid which are the building blocks that keep your skin smooth and elastic. The Profound Lift provides 1/3 the results of a surgical facelift without surgery, minimal cost and less downtime. For most patients one treatment is all that is needed and will last several years. The Profound is the only FDA approved device on the market that dramatically improves aging skin so you can look years younger and has a 100% response rate for facial wrinkles. As we get older, our skin begins to lose some of its vitality, becoming looser, wrinkled and less full than it once was. This is because the skin has begun to break down faster than it can naturally rejuvenate. Profound Lift uses a micro needle technology to transmit radio frequency energy, at exactly the right depth and temperature to stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. When used on the body, the Profound not only stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, but can smooth cellulite as well with a 94% response rate. The Profound Lift is a quick, single treatment usually between 45 minutes -1.5 hrs. depending on area. The system delivers precise temperatures to the deeper skin layers, exactly where the energy being delivered is most beneficial. Desert Sands Aesthetics & Laser is the only office in Southern Utah with the Profound Lift treatment and the only one that provides sedation from a board-certified anesthesiologist for the ultimate comfort service.
What role does elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid play in creating smooth, youthful-looking skin?
These 3 skin fundamentals work hand-in-hand to keep our skin strong, elastic, and flexible. Without enough of one, the others cannot support our skin properly, and facial wrinkles may appear.
Collagen is a protein that naturally occurs in the body. In fact, nearly a third of all the protein in your body is collagen. It is responsible for maintaining the healthy structure of your bones, connective tissue, and skin. It is a very strong protein, unfortunately it is vulnerable to several things, such as aging, smoking, and the sun’s harsh UV rays.
Collagen sets up a framework for new cells to attach and grow. Without this framework, the skin becomes weak, and unable to hold its once healthy form. By stimulating the growth of your body’s own collagen, Profound is able to bring back that essential framework your skin needs to be healthy.
Elastin is also a protein found naturally in your body. However, it is a little different from collagen. Whereas collagen provides the strong, rigid framework for healthy cells to grow, elastin is a flexible protein, which, as the name suggests, is very elastic. The properties of elastin allow it to flex, and quickly return to its normal state. consider it like a chain of proteins that form a rubber band for the tissues in your body. Both collagen, and elastin combine to make your body’s tissues strong, yet flexible.
As we age, time takes its toll on elastin, the sun breaks it down, and life’s stresses wear it down even further. This results in sagging, and wrinkles. Thankfully, the same RF process that stimulates collagen, also stimulates elastin. When Profound is used to boost elastin production, the skin is able to regain its lost plasticity. This results in lifting, and tightening of the skin, which reduces wrinkles, and sagging.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is usually found naturally, and abundantly within the skin. HA helps keep the skin looking bright and healthy. It keeps collagen present in the skin, and aids elastin in its job of keeping the skin flexible.
The special thing about HA, is its ability to retain water, and thus provide the skin cells, collagen, and elastin with the vital moisture they need, to remain healthy. By stimulating HA production, Profound gives the skin a lasting boost in health. The skin becomes healthier, more elastic, brighter, and enables the skin to retain the moisture it needs to remain healthy.
