People started worrying that radiofrequency would melt their facial fat.
Here is the truth: We do not use radiofrequency as a fat melting device. In fact, in most areas of the face and neck, you want to preserve fat. That volume protects you from crepiness and thin, sagging skin.
Fat heats up faster than skin. It absorbs energy more easily. If the settings are too aggressive or the depth is wrong, you risk fat atrophy instead of collagen building.
That is why the area matters. Under the chin or along the jawline, a little fat reduction might be appropriate. Around the eyes, it is the opposite. We already lose fat there with aging. The last thing you want is more.
This is not a one setting fits all treatment. The number of passes, the tip size, the depth, and the heat all change based on the area being treated.
Radiofrequency is about precision. The goal is collagen induction. Not unintended fat loss.
In this episode of The Skin Real, I break down where it works, where to be cautious, and how to protect your facial volume while building collagen. Watch more: https://youtu.be/djXn0yZu1XI
