Can aggressive microneedling cause facial fat loss? two sessions done 6 months ago and face is significantly thinner.

Marissa29906
I had two regular MN sessions six months ago (2mm and 1.5mm) and although I have gained weight since then, my face is significantly thinner with an odd orange peel like texture since then. Skin is definitely far worse and even NP agrees. Is it possible she went too deep? This depth was used everywhere except forehead and around eyes. I’ve read fat cells can atrophy to some degree when there’s an injury even without heat.
