Who did this to you liz75 ?
I can't believe this laser nonsense is still allowed to continue and damage peoples faces. They really should be charged with a crime. I hope you feel better.

I can totally relate. My face is a different shape now.. Flat loss everywhere. My eyes gave changed shape & I can't do my eye makeup the same. I've morphed into a different person time & time again. First treatment was done without any explanation..only that it was heat to dissipate the Botox effect I hate around my mouth. She said the heat will lesson the effect of Botox.. Liar. 3 months later, Botox wore off & friends thought I had a stroke! I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on with my face! I looked horrible & saggy. But I never suspected that damn heating machine until this past Jan when I got a tripolar RF & I saw divots & scars & severe fat atrophy, shrunken eyes, My face is
ruined & I'm ugly.
ruined & I'm ugly.

hi ladies. i just wanted to see how you were doing now? i am 4.5 months out from RF and i lost volume in my cheeks. it's been devastating. i recently did prp injections which actually gave me some volume. it takes time for the tissue to regenerate but i am hoping this will be a more natural approach to fixing the damage. have you guys had any luck with the texture? i have odd lines, large pores, etc.

I just wanted to update on my face.. I went to talk to the nurse practitioner who did the procedure on my face as a fix fo botched Botox. She had assured me that this treatment would heat & dissipate the Botox. She never explained what the machine was& stupid thought it was safe & it wasn't until after the Botox wore off that I realized something horrible was going on with my face.. I had blamed the weirdness on the Botox up to then.. I researched & researched effects of botox, menopause, stress.. I could not figure out.. 3. Years later after having a couple of Tripolar RF I realized that what I had experienced years earlier must have been a result of the machine she has used on me. So I went back to her to ask what the hell she has used on me.. the answer was CT3 laser... of course she denied that it could have caused what I described. The effervescent of that did improve. I regained some of my volume loss but my face shape changed forever & the full round plump cheeks were gone.. but I adjusted & I managed to feel pretty again. But now I'm 13 month out of the 1st RF & 11 month out of 2nd RF.. I look like a different person. I hate taking pictures. I don't look like me anymore. I look old& I'm ugly. Aged so much in a matter of months. I have long indented scars above my eyebrow wher fat melted.. my forehead is uneven & full of divots & dents.. my eyes have shrunk.. they are sunken & hollow... shape is different.. dents in outer corners from fat loss.. fat loss all over, temples, cheeks, jawline above nose... my whole face shape has changed. I try not to dwell on it, but it makes me so sad to know that I have lost who I was.. I don't recognize myself. I was pretty. I am not anymore & I think that I am still morphing. This doesn't seem to stop. It has just accelerated the aging process.. it's just continuing. So I will just continue to age 5 years for every one year for the rest of my life?? That scares the crap out of me. I think the radio frequency just altered the genetic makeup of my skin tissue with radiation.. like radiation poisoning.. is this what is happening?! How can these things continue? How many women get this done & then don't even know why their face is looking off & go back for more in the false hope of fixing things. My friend did.. it wasn't til I told her my story that she connected the dots & realized her treatments were what were causing her cheeks to sag! It's horrible.

I went to a place where this white girl worked for a tall east indian man and his sister. I went in to fix a tiny patch on the corner of my mouth, to tighten it with lazer fraxel and I had to buy half face treatment for 500. so I did and she altered my cheeks fat. a bump on one side and deep groove on the other cheek, never fixing the problem area at all! then I found out that he was using my "before" pics as after pictures and my "after" picutres as before pictures! how terrible. when I went back to see him i was furious and asked them to fix it but they refused....it happened when I was in montreal canada

I have to agree. I had an endymed skin tightening on my face and endybleph around my eyes. I hate the resulsts which have made my face shape change and hollowed out my eyes. My cheeks that I loved and were my favourite feature have lost volume and are flatter. I have been very depressed since this treatment. I am also only 2 months in and am dreading the next few months as I watch my face change. I hope I am over the worst of it but I look different from even 2 weeks ago. These machines should not be on the market or at the very least customers should be warned fully of the effects and side effects they can have. I was assured by my provider I would not experience the very thing I am. I am devastated.

Someone needs to stop this from happening. The very fact that the people operating these instruments are either saying this can’t happen or that when it does happen it isn’t from their instruments is appalling.
I like one of the other people in these forums never knew the side affects and just joined the dots and did some research after I noticed dramatic changes. And then found that other people were saying the same thing.
So it is real and it is damaging people. It has to stop

It's a cruel machine. I don't know how people with any conscience can use them.
I am 7 months out from an IPL combined with RF. My fat loss appeared 18 days after the one and only treatment. The only changes I have seen in the 7 months is textural. I have weird lines and raised pores when I smile. I tried gaining weight over the holidays to see if the fat would come back. I did gain weight in the face but not in the same places, it was very odd looking and gave me a jowly appearance-it looked horrible. The only thing I can suggest that has helped me is to try different hairstyles and colours along with new make up. I can no longer do my eye make up the same way due to the significant fat loss. I relate completely to what you are going through and I'm sorry you have to go through this.
