Viora ReFit and severe Fat Necrosis to Face.

Louise1981Feb 6, 2017
I sought Viora Refit treatment to tighten epidermis in Mode 3 (most superficial). The MedSpa treated me in Mode 1, 2 and 3 at a very high level, a deep treatment to fatty layers to Forehead, Eyes, Mouth and Cheek. In the time afterwards, this resulted in fat necrosis to theses areas, and the appearance of looser skin (not tighter) and unsightly dimples and wrinkles. Question: What are safe treatment options to reverse the damage? Is there any Radio Frequency treatment that does NOT cause fat necrosis?
