Would microneedling after Profound help chin area?

Question

I had profound done in September. Overall happy, approx. 15% reduction in chin area fat but I would have liked more. Would a microneedling session help? I was hoping doing Profound would have been enough.

Microneedling can be a beneficial follow-up treatment after Profound for enhancing skin texture and firmness, but it may not significantly reduce fat in the chin area. Here are some considerations:

Microneedling Benefits: This procedure primarily targets skin texture, tone, and collagen production. It can help improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and scars, potentially enhancing the overall appearance of the treated area.

Fat Reduction: Microneedling is not designed for fat reduction. If your primary goal is further fat reduction in the chin area, you might want to explore other options such as additional Profound treatments, Kybella, or CoolSculpting, after consulting with your provider.

Combination Treatments: Sometimes combining treatments can enhance overall results. Discuss with your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon whether microneedling, possibly in combination with other procedures, could help you achieve your desired outcome.

Consultation: It’s important to have a thorough consultation with your healthcare provider to assess your skin and discuss your goals. They can recommend the most appropriate treatment plan based on your specific needs and previous treatments.

Expectations: Make sure to have realistic expectations about the results of any cosmetic procedure. Each treatment has its own set of strengths, and a professional can guide you on what to expect from microneedling in this context.
