Effects of RF Microneedling While Pregnant?

Intellectual122583Jan 7, 2025
I had 3 sessions of RF microneedling done 2 years ago. My final session I found out I was pregnant the day before (4 weeks pregnant). Esthetician said there was no problem at all with that and did the RF MN. After I had my baby I noticed my face is way different. Long, thin, saggy. I’m confident RF microneedling caused fat loss in my face. Did me being 4 weeks pregnant contribute to this? I only gained 23 lbs my whole pregnancy. Is there anything to do to help? I’m 35

Morpheus8 is FDA approved for soft tissue contraction using fractional radiofrequency with microneedling. This indicates its safety and effectiveness. All treatments carry some risk. Morpheus8 can cause temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and rarely infection.

Typically prior dental work would not be a contraindication for RF devices, but as always it is best to refer to the manufacturer for specific questions.

The RF microneedling device that I use is called Morpheus8. With the depths that are normally done on the face, there should be no facial nerve damage because the needles do not go deep enough to reach the facial nerve.
