It got worse. It is mostly stabilized now but I'm 1.5 years out from the damage. I was told the RF settings were too high as RF penetrates deeply. I wish I had better news.
Wow. I did a little bit of research. These treatments cause a thermal injury versus a radiation injury. I'm wondering if the symptoms are similar in general. From what I can tell, heat and radiation damage tissues in similar ways. Ionizing adiation injuries are far worse. My skin still sweats in some areas but is full of little blood vessels and there is an obvious loss of subcutaneous fat tissue which is a known complication of radiofrequency treatments. I hope for more research into the damaging effects these treatments can cause. Sadly the money for research is mostly from the laser companies or for new studies, not complications.
