Over time, living a full life naturally changes the shape of your face and body. You might start noticing a little extra laxity around your jawline or a loss of firmness that you’d love to smooth out.
That's exactly why we offer Profound. This treatment is a beautiful bridge between delicate skincare and a surgical facelift. It provides a significant lift to your tissues, helping you look as energized and youthful as you feel.
Profound is an advanced, minimally invasive skin-tightening technology. The Profound system cleverly combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling.
Instead of just treating the surface, the ultra-thin needles deliver precise heat deep into the dermis. This triggers your body's natural healing process to build fresh collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the three vital elements that keep your skin plump and firm.
A single session can have a profound impact on your appearance and your overall confidence. When you stimulate your skin at this deep level, the results are incredibly natural.
Dr. Bloch's Perspective: "Most non-surgical skin tightening devices only graze the surface. Profound is completely different. We are actually penetrating the deep dermal layers to wake up the exact cells responsible for keeping your skin tight. It's one of the closest things we have to a surgical result using a non-surgical tool."
Profound is incredibly popular among both men and women who want to address signs of aging but aren't quite ready for a facelift.
Our ideal candidates are people dealing with mild to moderate skin laxity, jowls, or deep wrinkles. If you want to take a proactive approach to your aesthetic future, Profound is an excellent option. A thorough understanding of your goals helps us ensure this is the absolute best fit for your life.
We use Profound to treat specific areas where gravity tends to show up the most. We tailor the approach to focus our attention exactly where you need it.
A drooping jawline can alter the entire frame of your face. Profound tightens the tissue along the jaw, restoring a crisp, youthful contour.
The delicate skin on the neck often loses its elasticity early on. This treatment firms up loose neck tissue for a smoother, tighter profile.
Deep folds around the mouth and cheeks soften beautifully as new collagen plumps the skin from beneath the surface.
Profound is also FDA-cleared to treat cellulite. It smooths out dimpled tissue on the thighs and buttocks by targeting the structural bands beneath the skin.
Every great aesthetic experience starts with a comfortable conversation. When you visit us in Highland Park, IL, you will sit down with an expert provider under the guidance of Steven Bloch, MD.
We discuss your medical history, your skin health, and your specific goals. This gives us the ability to design a customized plan. We make sure you are fully prepared and perfectly comfortable before moving forward.
Your comfort is our top priority. We start by providing a local anesthetic to completely numb the treatment area.
Once you are relaxed, we use the Profound handpiece to deliver the radiofrequency energy. You might feel a little pressure, but the numbing ensures a very comfortable experience. The entire process takes about an hour, depending on the areas we work on. Steven Bloch, MD, and our clinical team ensure everything goes perfectly.

Because we are doing meaningful work beneath the surface, you'll need a little downtime. Most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and redness for about five to seven days.
You can return to your normal routine quite quickly, but we usually recommend holding off on major social events for about a week. We give you all the aftercare instructions you need to heal beautifully and safely over time.
Your body needs time to build new tissue. You will start to see early changes in a few weeks, but the real transformation happens between three to six months after your Profound treatment.
As your new collagen and elastin mature, your skin becomes noticeably tighter, smoother, and more lifted. The results are incredibly durable, lasting for years as part of your ongoing wellness journey.
The final cost of your Profound treatment in Highland Park comes down to the physical work required to lift your tissue. Patients needing heavy structural repair require significantly more time in the chair than someone coming in for a quick surface fix. Skin thickness also dictates the bill. We refuse to give out blind price estimates over the phone because quoting a fee without actually touching the tissue is a complete guessing game. Muscle depth changes everything. During your consultation, we measure exactly how your face moves before calculating the exact requirements of the procedure. You get a hard number. We hand you a firm, printed quote with zero hidden fees detailing exactly what it costs to pull the tissue tight.
Steven Bloch, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon with decades of experience physically altering the structure of the human face. We know the architecture. Handing a powerful radiofrequency device to an untrained technician creates a massive liability for your skin. It demands absolute precision. At our Highland Park, IL clinic, we map the exact depth of your facial fat before starting the work.
You need a provider who understands how much energy the deep tissue can withstand before sustaining a burn. We watch the skin contract. We set the microneedles to penetrate exactly two millimeters into the dermis. At Body By Bloch, you're being seen by experienced professionals who actually care about you, your safety, and your results.
You deserve to look as vibrant as you feel. Give your skin the support it needs to stay firm, smooth, and beautiful. Contact our Highland Park, IL office today to schedule your Profound consultation.
We use a local anesthetic to thoroughly numb the area beforehand, so the procedure itself is very comfortable. You may feel some soreness during the first few days of recovery.
One of the best things about Profound is that most patients only need a single session to achieve significant, long-lasting results.
Yes! Because the radiofrequency energy is delivered directly into the dermis rather than the surface of the skin, Profound is safe and effective for all skin tones and types.
The new collagen your body creates is permanent, though your skin will naturally continue to age over time. Many patients enjoy their tighter, smoother results for several years.
