I have read reviews saying that patients experienced fat loss with microneedling. Is this a possibility?

Asked By:DJ53 in Pennsylvania, PA

I received one SkinPen treatment and I feel that my temporal hollows are worse after the treatment. My doctor says no. Please help me find the answer to this question before I finish my prepaid treatments. I have read all the literature from SkinPen and see nothing about fat loss as a side effect.
