PIXEL8-RF Microneedling with RF Loss of facial fat and sagging skin

Recently found this in an article that realself published in plastic surgery news. Dr. Amir Karam is a top Facial Plastic Surgeon in San Diego, California. “Attempts to use deep radiofrequency microneedling to tighten up deep muscle or fascia come at the cost of potentially melting and damaging that subcutaneous fat layer, because the fat is directly under the skin,” warns Dr. Karam, who spends a lot of time educating the public on this issue through his social media platforms. “These energy devices place energy through the skin, through the fat, on their way toward the deeper fascia and, along the way, damage that subcutaneous fat.” If you’ve seen the complaints on TikTok about RF microneedling making patients’ faces look older, this is why—fat keeps the face looking young. These pose an even greater risk to your facial fat’s integrity when performed poorly or aggressively.

I was recommended 3 treatments. There was No improvement on my acne scars and this procedure created volume loss. I would not recommend this treatment to older individuals or anyone with a thin face. Waste of money but my biggest regret is for the pain there was no gain.

I would not recommend this service to anyone over 50. I had three treatments spaced over an 8 month period and although it temporarily improved the texture of my skin, now my cheeks appear hollow and my face is really sagging. Nobody tells you this but if you research it, you’ll find out the this procedure will decrease the volume by destroying the fat in your face.
