I underwent two sessions of Scarlet RF and was told there were no known side effects however after my first treatment I noticed my face sallowing and sagging. I went back to my Doctor who said that couldn't happen, so went into my second treatment. within the next few days I could see my face hollowing out infront of my eyes each day. I looked sick and everyone was asking me "have you lost weight" because of my facial fat loss. I got my money back for the next two treatments that I'd prepaid and would not touch this laser again. I've now had to get fillers all over my face to try and rectify the situation however my face has sagged and I can't get rid of that. Heartbroken! The fat has not come back after over 12 months.

I heard it was about to get FDA approval and so just wanted to let everyone know that there can be side effects, despite practitioners saying there are none.

I had radio frequency on my face & have had fat loss all over my face. My cheeks are saggy my forehead has dents all over, eyes have shrunken & sunken. I have severe fat loss especially above one eyebrow.. there is a long 2 inch indentation from wher all th fat melted as a result my eyelids are sagging. Thus has changed to shape of my eyes & face. Over 12 months and I do not believe there will be improvement. On the contrary I believe the changes are correct continuing & has accelerated the aging process. I feel ugly & old now. It makes me sooo angry that this is being done to so many women & then they deny any negative effects.

Same thing happened to me. Fat lose, skin texture changes. I'm 3 years after the rf treatment and I can attest that it speeds up the ageing process. I was only 25 when I did it. I wanted to firm my skin on the face after I lost 30kg and it was recommended to me as highly effective and non-invasive. Oh, what a cruel joke! I regret doing it every single day.
