Microneedling and chemical peels, such as TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peels, are commonly used for improving skin texture, reducing acne scars, and enhancing overall skin appearance. However, these treatments should be performed by experienced professionals to minimize risks and ensure safety.Regarding your concern about changes in facial volume or "drooping," it is unlikely that microneedling or a TCA peel at 35% concentration would directly affect the deeper fat tissue. These procedures primarily target the superficial layers of the skin. However, there are a few possibilities to consider:Temporary Swelling or Inflammation: After such treatments, temporary swelling or inflammation could alter the appearance of your facial contours, but this should resolve over time.Skin Tightening Effects: Microneedling and chemical peels can promote collagen production, which might cause temporary changes in skin tightness or texture.Volume Loss with Aging: Middle-aged individuals often experience natural volume loss in the face due to aging, which might be more noticeable after treatments that improve skin texture.Reaction to Treatment: If there was an adverse reaction or if the treatments were too aggressive, they could potentially affect the skin's appearance or texture.It would be advisable to consult with a dermatologist or the professional who performed your treatments to assess your concerns. They can evaluate your skin and provide guidance on any necessary steps to address the changes you’ve observed. Additionally, they can determine if further treatments or interventions might be beneficial for your skin care goals.
