Volume loss after RF Microneedling?

prettierandprettierApr 20, 2023
I’ve recently received RF Microneedling twice now about a month apart from each other. I am now noticing my nasolabial folds seem much more prominent than they did before the procedure. I confirmed with both practitioners that the procedure wouldn’t cause me to lose any facial fat but I’m suspicious that it either decreased my fat or possibly affected some of the filler that I had. How likely is this to be the case?
