Will RF treatment tighten my skin or dissolve fat or filler?

October 11, 2015
Asked By:flyingX in San Jose, CA

Almost all RF treatment will cause heat under the skin. They claim it can tighten skin by the heat. But I worry about if it will dissolve the fat in my face (which will cause loss of volume) and the filler I just injected in my face. Will the RF treatment tighten skin or cause face loss volume?
