Profound RF for a brow lift in London

A brow that has settled lower with age is treated with the needle pairs placed across the brow and the outer forehead in one session, usually under local anaesthetic, each point heated to a set temperature. In our experience the skin firms and the brow sits a little higher over the following months. A 2021 report described a brow lift with a device of this type and has no published summary, so we quote no figure for the brow and say so plainly. Every treatment is given by Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Profound RF London Clinic, 8 Devonshire Place, with the price in writing at a free consultation.

What it does at the brow

In our experience the skin of the brow and the outer forehead firms as new collagen and elastin form, and the tail of the brow lifts by a small amount. A heavy, dropped brow is more than one session lifts, which a surgical brow lift does, and the doctor says so at the consultation. Lines that show only when the brow moves are a muscle question.

What the studies measured

The US clearance names facial wrinkles, and the 100-person face and neck trial gave a 25.6% gain on the wrinkle scale and 24.1% on the laxity scale at six months; the brow report has no published summary. The full guide sets out the main trials.

The session and after

Local anaesthetic, then about an hour in all with the rest of the face. Redness for hours to a day or two, swelling for up to five to ten days, which can track down to the eyes in our experience, some bruising, and most people back to normal activities within 24 hours. The result builds over months and is photographed at six months in our practice.

Who it suits

In our practice, an adult with a brow that has settled and skin that still has spring, who wants one treatment. Not in pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an active infection, with a pacemaker or other electrical implant, or with a history of keloid scarring without the doctor's advice first.
