When you look in the mirror, are you less than pleased with your reflection because of a melting jawline, lax skin on your neck, and jowls? Does the idea of surgery to correct these issues seem like too much? Luckily, there are less invasive treatment options at Colorado Skin & Vein to effectively address loose skin of the neck, jowls, and volume loss in the lower face and chin.

The Profound RF Difference

Profound RF is a non-surgical treatment designed to restore the contours of your jawline and neck to address gravity’s effects as we age, including volume loss, lax skin, and wrinkles. Our facial and neck tissues respond to heat in a variety of ways, and Profound RF takes advantage of that response. Precisely controlled temperatures and radiofrequency energy are introduced into the dermal layer, stimulating new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production to nourish and tighten skin from the inside out. Patients experience tighter, younger looking skin in just a few weeks.

Dr. David Verebelyi and Colorado Skin & Vein are pleased to be one of the few Midwestern providers of this truly innovative procedure. Profound RF has the unique ability to lift, add volume, and tighten skin all in one procedure, saving you time, money, and minimizing recovery time. The results are so effective we refer to the procedure as a non-surgical face lift.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Ideal Profound RF patients are those concerned about jowls, volume loss in the lower face, and lax skin in the jaw and neck area. Because radiofrequency does not depend on pigment in the skin, it is suited for all skin types. Pregnant patients, those with a pacemaker, or previous history of poor wound healing should not consider this treatment.

What are Profound RF Treatments Like?

The Profound RF procedure is so remarkable, patients frequently only require one treatment session. Patients are administered local anesthetic to the treatment area, to prevent pain during or in the hours following the procedure. The handpiece delivers radiofrequency energy and precise temperature control through a series of needles that penetrate to an exact depth within the face and neck tissues. The result lifts the underlying layers and stimulates collagen, the support structure of our facial tissues. Hyaluronic acid nourishes and hydrates the skin to bring back your natural glow, and elastin restores youthful elasticity stolen by age. These effects also restore volume, so your skin returns to the suppleness of youth. Results become visible in as little as 2 weeks, with continued improvement over the following 6-9 months. Expected side effects are swelling, redness, and minor bruising that subsides by the end of the first week. You may see some minor skin shedding as your body works to replace the topmost layer with new, youthful skin cells.

At Colorado Skin & Vein, our team stays on the cutting edge of the cosmetic aesthetics industry, giving our patients access to the latest technologies available. We are frequently among the first clinics in the nation to offer treatment advancements, and as a result, our patients have access to the best, most innovative treatments available, oftentimes at lower cost. Our passion, our extensive expertise, and our continued commitment to bringing the best in facial rejuvenation makes our patient care and our results truly profound.

\”The staff at Colorado Skin & Vein is very helpful and always makes sure to answer any questions during visits. I can tell that they truly care about the patient experience. Thank you Dr. Verebelyi and Team!\”

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
