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, changes in skin tone, acne scars, or a loss of firmness that you’d love to smooth out.
That's exactly why we offer RF Microneedling in Highland Park. This treatment is a beautiful bridge between advanced skincare and a surgical facelift. It provides a significant lift to your tissues, helping you achieve a refreshed appearance that looks as energized and youthful as you feel.
At our office in Highland Park, RF Microneedling is an advanced, minimally invasive skin-tightening technology. We use the Profound system, which cleverly combines radiofrequency microneedling with collagen induction therapy.
Instead of just treating the surface, the ultra-thin needles deliver precise RF energy into the deeper layers of 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 for ultimate skin rejuvenation.
Traditional microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, while radiofrequency microneedling adds heat beneath the surface for stronger tightening and improved skin texture. This makes it especially useful for patients who want natural-looking results without surgery.
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."
RF microneedling 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, acne scars, fine lines, forehead lines, smile lines, or deep wrinkles. RF microneedling can also be a smart option for many skin types, including darker skin types, because the radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the surface of the skin. If you want to take a proactive approach to your aesthetic future, RF microneedling using the Profound device is an excellent option. A thorough understanding of your medical history, skin condition, and desired outcome helps us ensure this is the absolute best fit for your life.
We use Profound in Highland Park to treat specific skin concerns where gravity, aging, and texture changes tend 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 and helping enhance facial features without changing your natural beauty.
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. RF microneedling may also help smooth forehead lines, smile lines, and fine lines that appear with common signs of aging.
For patients with acne scars or uneven skin texture, radiofrequency microneedling can encourage new collagen where the skin has become irregular. As the skin heals, many patients notice better skin clarity, smoother texture, and a more refined 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, your skincare routine, and your specific skin concerns. We also talk through other treatments that may complement your results, including dermal fillers, laser treatments, chemical peels, skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, lip fillers, or other med spa services when appropriate. This gives us the ability to design a customized plan to 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. The tiny needles enter the treated area at controlled depths while RF energy creates precise thermal damage in the dermis. You might feel a little pressure, but the numbing ensures a very comfortable experience. The entire process takes about an hour, depending on the treatment areas we work on. Steven Bloch, MD, and our clinical team ensure everything goes smoothly.

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.
After your treatment with RF microneedling, Highland Park patients can return to their 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 RF microneedling 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 Highland Park RF microneedling 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.
