Can professional microcurrent/nanocurrent procedures cause facial fat loss?

Question

I am 36 y/o female considering Alift nano-current sessions to address the beginning of facial skin sagging and loss of volume. Do these microcurrent procedures cause facial fat loss? I've read so many conflicting things online yet med spas and aestheticians have told me I shouldn't worry. I want to keep all the fat in my face that I can!

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

These low current procedures will not make you lose facial fat, but they will also not help you in skin tightening. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
