Can I use radiofrequency after genioplasty with stainless steel plate & screws?

EvaCosaMay 9, 2022
Hello I wanted to ask if I can use at home radio frequency devices after having a genioplasty. I had my procedure done about 5 years ago and love the results. I do have a small step of and because of this my jowls more pronounced. I started using at home radio frequency devices and did not think much of it avoiding where my stainless steel plate and screws are. However when I went in for a consultation for Morpheus I was told I can’t do it because of my SS plate and screws.

You need to take care of the cancer treatment first, and only after cleared by your dermatologist then proceed with Morpheus8 or any other anti-aging treatment. Health first! :) Hope this helps.
