Effects of RF Microneedling While Pregnant?

January 7, 2025
Asked By:Intellectual122583 in Minneapolis, Minnesota

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

Can RF microneedling cause facial nerve damage?
Michael I. Echavez, MD says:

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.
