Royal Tunbridge Wells Skin and Laser Clinic has Permanently damaged my face.
I went to have fillers to my nasolabial folds but this was put wrong , so the doctor suggested i have it in my cheeks using Belotero she told me it was a very good product but this has left me with massive bags under my eyes , that is when the Doctor told me to have RF , she assure me this will help with the puffiness and their were NO SIDE EFFECT what so ever. I trusted her . Unfortunately i am now left with Fat Attrophy , you can see where the device has been , Burn scars, wrinkles , bad skin, out of pocket and depression. This has affected my life I am left devastated . Nothing can be done except for Fat Transfer but even that isn't guaranteed and very risky. I have seen a lots of professionals , from plastic surgeons to dermatologists to my GP and all confirm Fat attrophy/Burns. Please note RF when is done too hot the atrophy continue for up to 2 years , this has been only 15 months and it is getting even worse. MY cheeks are now almost flat and dented , my chin is very allow , i lost most of my fat under my eyes and above my mouth.
Please do not believe what the CLinic doctor tell you and do some research, i sowish i did .

Michael177777 Why are you here making comments if you are inexperienced and ill informed about side effects from any procedures discussed? Not sure if you own a spa or are you just a Negative Nancy trying to put down people. Unless you want to post a story positive or negative or have useful information I am perplexed why you are on this site? Do not be a doubter this can and does happen. Go on Pubmd and look it up. This is a medical website that writes reports on everything. Educate yourself before you pass judgement. If you wish to see others with bad results or adverse side effects just keep on reading here under different topics i.e.. IPL, Fraxel, lasers , Botox and facial fillers. They can help some but do not doubt that a certain percentage have side-effects. It happens all the time in meds even those out for years than the FDA will take them off the market or must put all those warnings out. Some time the negative side-effects out weigh the promised results. It is a unknown factor off everything in the medical field.

Sorry that you are going thought this my experience was resolved when i went to a different doctor he injected me with something that dissolved it's been a year and still i see a little hollowness around my eyes but ti looks much better than before i had bolatero around the eyes and went to my cheeks i had water retention there also then it looked like i had too black eyes because it had water and it bruised every time the new doctor injected me, he did that a few times. I used my glasses to cover up and makeup.lesson learned.

How so? What was the solution?
UPDATED FROM Z01

Belotero was a mistake but radiofrequency was the worse decision ever make in my life.

Z01
I am left looking 10 years older and looking gaunt , my eyes after the filler never gone back to how they were but not sure if this was a combination with the RF which has melted my cheeks, my chin and under my nose fat . I look awful , my cheeks are flat, and have all sort of indentation from the Radiofrequency . I am only early 40 and look mid-50 , this has made me so depressed . it has been almost 15 months and the damage is getting getting worse . How don’t know how to cope anymore , and cry everyday . Those device can be extremely damaging to your face .

Radiofrenquency update

it is now 11 months since i had the last RF , the Boletero has gone BUT the RF has damaged my face. I am now left with Fat Loss, scaring, dry skin and a lot more wrinkles , aged 10 years in 1 year.
The damage seem to continue the dents i have on my cheeks from the RF are getting deeper and larger, i also started to have little holes , on my cheeks like i had acne. My skin was very good before and i had very nice cheeks , all this has gone.
If you decide to have any RF please read all the side effects and story from people who was unfortunate and now suffer from disfigurement , depression etc..
Unfortunate for me i didn't and now suffer the consequences.
