Will Microneedling cause facial volume loss?

Asked By:Cassieeeee in Orange County, CA

Will microneedling at depth of 3mm or more have the risk of losing facial fat/volume loss? I researched that microneedling w/ rf such as morpheus8 can kill the fat if it were to go beyond the dermis into the subcutaneous layer but not sure if this is the case for regular microneedling. I am mainly targeting acnes scars. What about for lasers such as co2 fractionated ablative laser? If volume loss is the result how can it build collagen and tighten the skin as that seems counterintuitive. Thanks
