What Is Profound RF Microneedling?
Dr. Rocco Piazza offers Profound RF microneedling in Austin, TX — an FDA-cleared skin-tightening treatment that combines the collagen induction of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered through the needles themselves. The RF energy travels deeper into the skin than needling alone, clinically shown to increase collagen levels up to 2x and elastin levels up to 5x, while also boosting hyaluronic acid production. Unlike other RF microneedling devices that call for a series of visits, Profound is designed to deliver its full effect from a single session.
Profound is the first and only microneedling device with FDA clearance for both the face and body to reduce the appearance of cellulite, in addition to smoothing wrinkles and tightening sagging skin on the face, neck, and body.

RF Microneedling
vs. Microneedling.
Radiofrequency energy makes the effects of microneedling penetrate deeper into the skin, so Profound RF develops faster, more dramatic results than microneedling alone — the trade-off is roughly a week of social downtime, while standard microneedling requires none. Dr. Piazza helps you decide which depth of treatment matches your goals and schedule.
- Deeper Penetration
- One Treatment
- ~7–10 Days Downtime

Results
Your Profound RF Results
Redness and swelling from treatment fade within days, and skin gradually looks smoother as new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid build over the following months. Because the RF energy works beneath the surface, results continue to improve well after the visible downtime has resolved.
Final results typically emerge 3 to 6 months after treatment and are commonly maintained for 1 to 5 years with good skin care and sun protection. Dr. Piazza reviews your progress at follow-up to confirm your results are tracking as expected.
