PlastyWhat it involves
RF microneedling combines needles with radiofrequency energy delivered into tissue. Adding energy changes the risk profile and is not simply a stronger version of a facial.
Risks and limitations
FDA has reported serious complications with certain uses, including burns, scarring, fat loss, disfigurement and nerve damage. Some injuries have required medical or surgical repair.
Recovery and follow-up
Ask about the exact device, intended depth, treating professional and follow-up. Persistent pain, unexpected contour loss or signs of injury warrant medical assessment. A simulated tightening effect cannot predict safety.
Questions for your consultation
Why use RF for this concern? What evidence supports the proposed use? How would the clinic recognize and manage an injury?
