Level III: Filling of the papillary dermis, but no extension into the reticular (lower) dermis

It removes fat but does not remove cellulite (reticular dermis).

Each removed layer goes seregenerer via the reticular DermIS which will tend to produce collagen in large quantities.

Profound takes us to the next level…we deliver the RF energy directly to the reticular dermis, which is the target.

The present invention relates to methods for administration of a substance into the junctional layer of a subject’s skin, i.e., a transitory tissue between the reticular dermis and the hypodermis of the subcutaneous layer of the skin.

Phenol at 88% concentration has the ability to penetrate the upper reticular dermis and is keratocoagulant, which prevents its penetration at deeper levels.

Phenol in an 88% concentration penetrates the superior reticular dermis and is keratocoagulant, which prevents it from permeating to deeper layers.

For Velasco et al. (2005), Phenol in the concentration of 88% penetrates the upper reticular dermis and is keratocoagulant, preventing its penetration in the deeper layers.

Lesions involving the reticular dermis, may be out of the reach of pulsed-dye laser, cautery or shave excision and therefore have a recurrence rate of 43.5%.[5] Definitive management requires full-thickness skin excision.
