Question

Would RF Micro-needling be an effective treatment for subcutaneous fat dissolution to slim my jawline & jowls and improve shallow, untethered rolling scars on chin? If so, looking for experienced provider who is proficient in SQ fat dissolution and jawline slimming. Much appreciated!

Hello,Yes RF Microneedling will smooth and tighten your skin in the areas you mentioned. It is particularly good at reducing scarring. One method we employ is RFMN combined with Bellafill filling of any deep acne scarring.

I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer.

Microneedling, which I have been performing for over twenty years, is best reserved for improving very superficial, surface skin texture and color irregularities. In other words, best used as a final "polishing" step after more appropriate therapies are first done. It is not a particularly good first-line therapy. A field subcision accompanied by the injection of an appropriate fillers would help to elevate and smooth the chin depressions, and a robust HA filler can be used to better define the jawline contour. Make sure to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist. Best of luck.
