Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Turn back the clock with Profound RF—the only FDA-cleared technology proven to stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for visibly firmer, younger-looking skin.
Why Skin Loses Firmness—And How We Fix It
As skin ages, collagen and elastin production slows, causing loss of firmness and elasticity. Weight changes, sun damage, and gravity compound the effects, leaving skin loose or sagging.
Profound RF is the only FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling device proven to rebuild skin’s structural foundation. Using ultra-fine needles, it delivers precise, controlled heat deep into the dermis, triggering production of collagen (firmness), elastin (elasticity), and hyaluronic acid (moisture). The result is clinically proven tightening and lifting—often called “the non-surgical facelift.”
With over 20 years of aesthetic treatment experience, Colorado Skin & Vein delivers safe, comfortable, transformative results using cutting-edge technology.

skin tightening FAQ
How does radiofrequency skin tightening work?
Profound uses ultra-fine needles to deliver precise radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis. This controlled heat stimulates your body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which tighten and firm skin over time.
Is Profound RF painful?
Topical anesthesia is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients report feeling pressure and warmth during the procedure, but pain is well-controlled. Post-treatment tenderness is mild and resolves within days.
How long do results last?
Results continue to improve for up to 6 months as new collagen develops. Most patients enjoy visible tightening and lifting for 1-2+ years. Annual maintenance treatments help sustain long-term results.
What areas can be treated?
Profound RF effectively treats face, neck, jawline, jowls, abdomen, arms, thighs, buttocks, and areas with cellulite. It’s versatile for both facial rejuvenation and body contouring.
What's the difference between Profound RF and other skin tightening treatments?
Profound is the only FDA-cleared device proven to stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in a single treatment. Its precision temperature monitoring ensures optimal results with fewer sessions compared to other technologies.
When will I see results?
Initial improvement appears within 2-4 weeks. Results continue to develop over 3-6 months as collagen remodels and skin tightens. Maximum tightening is typically visible at 6 months post-treatment.
Is there downtime?
Most patients resume normal activities within 1-3 days. Expect redness, swelling, and mild tenderness immediately after treatment. Makeup can be applied after 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise for 3-5 days.
Will my skin look natural?
Absolutely. Profound RF works with your body’s natural healing process, delivering gradual, natural-looking tightening and lifting. You’ll look refreshed and rejuvenated—never overdone or “pulled.”
Can Profound RF treat cellulite?
Yes. Profound RF is FDA-cleared for cellulite reduction. A single treatment can reduce the appearance of cellulite by up to 50%, with results lasting years.
How much does skin tightening cost?
Cost varies based on treatment area and individual goals. We provide transparent pricing during your consultation and offer financing options to make treatment accessible.
