Plastic surgeon on the risk of fat loss with radiofrequency and ultrasound 

I got an RF treatment in a medispa last year. I so wish I researched it before I went there. I was just told it was a skin tightening treatment. Fat loss was never mentioned. About 1-2 weeks after the treatment, I noticed my cheeks were deflating, not tightening! My face got softer, not tighter. Very upsetting to say the least. And I agree, you need to go to a medical professional. Not a spa! I’ve spent more money now trying to fix this mishap with fillers. They helped a bit, but I miss my old face. Ladies, please do your research before you get this treatment. I wish I did. Very expensive mistake that I regret immensely. Btw, I love your videos. You’re adorable and love your accent! Thank you for putting out such great information. I wish I found your channel before I foolishly rushed in to get this procedure. Don’t fall for their great sales pitch. That’s what got me! Half off sale! My cheeks slid half way down to my jawline. My $2000 treatment gave me jowls! Was not the look I was going for!! Do your research!

What a great interview. What an absolutely genuine and wise doctor.

I completely lost all the fat in my middle neck using Ultherapy (4 times, once under Anastasia in a surgery to face and neck) not knowing that instead of tightening which is why I did it each time but doing the opposite and ultimately having now a creepy neck with loose skin because of the major fat loss that occurred. My neck actually looks worse starting at 50 than my 75 yr old mother's. I now have to get a neck lift & was told by 2 surgeons telling me the neck surgery probably won't last more than a year or so because of the unusually loose skin. These same surgeons outright admitted that they stopped using Ultherapy and other devices like it in their office because of the potential negative results and fat loss. And, I'm 112 pounds, with a firm body and face, even jaws. So I know it's the Ultherapy. I was told my whole life I looked 15 yrs younger than my age, getting carded up until early 50's. But it stopped after Ultherapy a few times and my neck is the only thing that gives my age away. Stay away from it, it depletes your fat!!!

Also, every area in the face must go on different settings-parameters. Absolutely nice video

Thankyou so much for yr honesty and professionalism..💝

Thanks for having this doctor on. Good information. ❤

Thank you so much!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video, I would love for you to do a deep dive into laser treatment, and other procedures done on male's with facial hair, what to use, what to avoid, and risk of damage to the facial hair...:)

OMG! Your video about LUMO popped spontaneusly and I clicked superinterested by the device since I' m a FOREO🐻 user. *BUT I DISCOVERED A TRUE GEM AND HER CHANNEL FULL OF DEVICES AND ATO PROCEDURES!!!!* ✨✨✨ Beyond subscribed, binging and wondering why you don' t have zillion subs. Your content and the way you present it are a delicatessen. Hugs from Spain 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

One of the best videos 👌 we have to be so careful when applying anything to the face in case make it worse instead of better 😬 I honestly don’t think enough people worry about this 🤷🏻‍♀️I’m just about to purchase my first ever Beauty Devices -Feipushi Mc & a Hifu 3in 1 with Rf & EMS (from Mojia) so have been searching for accurate info ! So thank you 🙏🏽 😚

Thanks for this video, really!

Very informative. Thank you.

Thanks a lot a lot for this information. I was about to get thermage treatment but I don’t want to lose fat. As a matter of fact I already lost 15 pounds and my skin under the chin is a little sag. So in this case what treatment the doctor suggest so the skin to get tight again ?

What about for tummy ? Anyone have any experience with this procedure on abdominal tissue? Thank you love your Chanel

Looking forward to your home devices …nutrition videos. Thanks

Can Accutite melt fat grafting under the eyes that are undesirable? Can the heat settings be controlled and can it just tighten only with no fat removal?

Great video 👍🏼

Hello, does Opus Plasma cause volume or fat loss? I heard it doesn't, but I am skeptical.

🙌🏻 Great video! God Bless

Great video! Thank you. What I know, the right temp of rf no more than 40, -safe. Like rf microneedling. Also, its just a max 4-6 treatments. Hifu is not safe. Lifting, tightening-yes, but later- you will need injections, ... Constantly tripolar rf- not good, monopolar- safiest, but not strong enough. Need 10-12 weekly. After that break at least 6-8 month. Honestly after 50 , monooolar rf will give you a little progress for the short time. But you won't lose your fat. Ultrasound for face- safe for lower face ones a two weeks. I never go on upper face. We need fat. Because when you loosing it, you start to injections..... our muscles need fat to lay on!!!

what about injectable biostimulators?

I had a Morpheus done and it caused my face to look worse 2 months after, so I think if you have thin skin it can make a difference as well. I trust my technicians but there is a lot to this so maybe micro needling without RF is best for some.

Hi, I was wondering whether you have tried mesotherapy ?

So does this mean I should get galvanic electrolysis instead of thermolysis electrolysis (also known as RF electrolysis) to remove those stray hairs on my face that got darker and thicker due to plucking the blonde , thin vellus hairs due to boredom? I don't know if that qualifies as trichotillomania or not.

definitely noticed some fat loss with morpheus8, but i had great results bc my face was overly round before!!

Once you get ultherapy done for the first time, how soon would u see the potential fat loss?

Fat lose was spoken about 15 yrs ago with Thermage. Seems nothing has really changed.

Great video I have the luma in my cart. Making me wonder?🤷‍♀️

You must be the only interviewer looking into this issue. It's an absolute tragedy how it's destroyed lives. Unless your injured, noone understands.

Hi! Thank for your wonderful videos! Quick question, is your guest talking about devices other than the at home devices? I just bought the Lumo. The devices that professionals use are a lot stronger, right?? He wasn't talking about the at home devices, such as the Lumo, correct? Thank you!

Hi Clare, thanks so much for sharing this interview. I enjoyed it. Question: has this put you off using the Evenskyn Venus around the eye area? Would you now hesitate to recommend it? Was thinking of purchasing and they have an offer on recently but now I'm not so sure. Thanks!

Do you have any recommendations on non invasive devices for lower stomach fat/skin tightening?

The good news is that we know that the treatments work for fat loss😂😂😂❤. Skip the face but use it for the tummy

I had Ultheraphy for my neck..about two weeks ago. so far .it looks good..but I was told by the RN that i wouldn't fat loss in that area, but if i did it would be like a drop of fat?? I was so hesitate to do the procedure..sorry to hear about one of the subscriber who experience fat loss.. my ultimate fear was having to go to a cosmetic surgeon if i had negative effects from the Ultheraphy. ( by the way, I don't do non surgical treatments in general).. I am hoping for good results..😊😊 Honestly, some of the non surgical treatments can be risky.. I went to cosmetic surgeon for a brow lift and wow i was so pleased with the results...and i believe if you really want a real change..your better off going to a cosmetic surgeon..that's my experience.

Awesome glad I subscribed

Really great video - Thank you for your research! I too have the EvenSkin Luma and now wonder how high the temperature gets on each level. I am going to try and email the company, but will also watch for you video!! 👯‍♀️

Hello , if you use Venus legacy for skin tightening on the face would you lose fat as well ?

So are at home devices like the tripollar also at risk of causing facial fat loss. I still have mine in the box as I’m now scared of this.

Hi, my breast has been sagging after weight loss. I’ve been using exilis for the sagging breast in the uppper part of the breast (where it has lots of stretch marks). What do you think of this new tool?

I wonder if microcurrent melts the fat as well 🤔

Well both my parents had double chins and beautiful faces… So I want to try it around my chin area and my jowls… I don’t want to lose volume in my face… This was a very informative video so thank you

I did fotona 4d and I have had fat loss. What"s the option now?

very interesting but I'm a little confused, do these dangers also apply to the home machines like Nuface etc??

I've been using the Lumo for a year, I look older and more wrinkled around my mouth and feel my cheeks are more hollowed😢 And I didn't even think about it until WATCHING a few videos in the last few days 😢!

I have a regular ultrasonic facial device (NOT HIFU, it doesn't have the highly focused vibrations that HIFU does)- it is supposed to help with collagen repair, slight lifting, and products to penetrate. I wonder if this will do the same thing re:fat loss? Either way, I will be taking a very conservative approach to only use it once a week, and stick to LED and microneedling that I know don't affect the fat layer as much.

Thank you for this video. I was going to order the Evenskyn devices but after hearing the doctor say it DOES affect volume of the face.....I won't. At 67, my face has already lost volume. I was hoping that RF would be an answer for skin tightening but it apparently is not. I already use the Omnilux mask every morning and have seen very good results in texture and increased volume of my facial area which I am assuming is due to increased collagen production. Believe me, you may not like your full face now but in 15 years you will really miss it!

Thank you for this video. I just received my Tripollar Stop VX. Does this mean using it on my face will cause cheek deflation? Concerned and I am within the return period( havnt even opened the box yet). Should I return? I am medium tan Indian skin tone.

Just to be sure, does this apply to the Nurse Jamie triangle, uplift, body uplift, and eyeonix tools? They just use vibration/movement, and the triangle uses heat if you want, but I love these tools. I know they aren’t RF, but do we know if there is any risk from losing facial fat from those tools?

I am confused, you use Lumo yourself, is it good or bad for sagging cheeks ?microcurrent or RF is better?my face has lost all the fat on my cheeks, is there a way to use a at home device to make them look a bit fuller please?

Great video, I used a video at home in my early twenties and felt I got fat loss but being in my early twenties would this typically come back?

Is hifo is safe for double chin?

This is really helpful I'm on a waiting list for morpheus 8 with Dr Judy Todd Glasgow I'm hoping to discuss some pdo threads at my consultation, on top of which I would like to have sculptra for volume (if she does that? ) I hope that the RF at home devices don't go over the temp limit for fat loss I use the polar stop one its said to increase collagen and tighten skin I haven't noticed any loss of fat where I use it 🙏

My plastic surgeon used under 43 heating point all over my face and neck and only one session of rf microneedling. Would that have been ok, with respect to fat loss?

Hi, please mention if the micro current devices like ZIIP at home facial device also causes fat loss? Thanks

I love your Chanel and so happy I found you ! I’m looking at devices for months now what to buy . I want to shrink or loose fat in no laces in my body through RD or Red light laser .I’m not convinced convinced in microcurrent even though I’ve seen it lift and it for sone is amazing I don’t believe it’s permanent? My question is when I step out of the box of skincare anyaging and step into physical therapeutic devices of RF and laser it’s so much less expensive ! But is it safe to burn fat ?Or tighten skin it’s still low level but it’s strong

This makes me not to want to even use my at home RF device(Nebulyft n1). Maybe I should just stick to Red Light Therapy and Tretinoin?

I had 3 V beam lasers for facial redness and im 38 and I have lost fat from it and my skin looks saggier now.

Would this be a good thing if you hsve a wide and fatty nose?

Does high frequency wand from nuderma cause facial fat loss or is this only associated with radio frequency?

I'm 51 and use the Tripollar Stop RX gold 2 RF device, which I use at home for the last 2 months, with good jowl tightening results. DO you think that a home device such as mine could be powerful enough to melt fat?

I can see this with rf micronedling...but my little dermawand...I wouldn't think ti would be heating up fat to any extent. I would like to know.

What about nebulyft device. Does it make fat loss ??

I'm thinking of getting Agnes rf, just to get rid of small jowling.. so I want targeted fat loss and tightening

If you lose the subcutaneous fat using RF, is there still a way to regain it?

Can this treatment get rid of overfilling from fat grafting to the face?

Fat starts melting at the temperatures 39-45 C. On the face the temperature is supposed to be kept lower than 39 C. RF facials are scheduled only once a month. Good to know that cold temperatures increase the brown fat that can be found on the neck, for example.

Hey, love your content! Was wondering if LED therapy for the face is in this category of procedures that could cause facial fat loss, anyone know? xx

A 15 minutes rf treatment, which happened only once can cause fat loss?

Thank you so much for the video! Would Exilis also contribute to fat loss on face?

Does regular microneedling without the RF also cause fat loss?

Do you think that this effect of losing fat could result from the use of Foreo Bear, or in general, microcurrent use on the face?

Can you use a home RF device to melt fat pads under the eyes?

Hi, is there any one good in the uk doing facial fat transfer?

This happened to me I had high frequency with heat treatment initially the result was great but 6 months later my face lost fat and started looking hollow I stopped this treatment

is it hifu you are talking about ? thank you very much

What about fat freezing?

Hi I am 28 years old male and was looking at RF Micro needling to burn a bit of fat on my cheeks, I don’t like my chubby cheeks and want a more chiseled face. Is this a good idea ?

So then how do you gain the fats on your face again? Do you eat alot sleep better?

Great video!! I needed this! But for me the thing is: I want to lose fat. I’m young, but wanted some lipofilling in my cheeks (my own fat injected) but the doctor injected too much fat and now I have a bloated face/overfilled cheeks. And unlike with normal fillers, this won’t dissolve by itself. I’m not looking for an extreme difference but I WANT to dissolve some fat but nobody seems to treat my cheeks. When I ask if they can do it with morpheus8 they say it doesn’t burn fat. I know it could wihen you go high and 3.5mm deep. This is so frustrating!! Any recommendations? I’m in the Netherlands so looking for something in Europe.

Hi Clare. Interesting interview. I was reading most of the comments. I was going to buy the Nebulyft after doing some research. I didn't see anyone mention it here. I have a thin face so am concerned about fat loss. know the home devices do not heat up like the in-office ones. The Nebulyft reaches 107 F. Was curious if you heard any negative reviews from people. Thank you

Does lumo cause facial fat loss?

How long does it take for the body to naturally restore and regenerate fat on your face after this procedure? I had RF Microneedling 2 months ago (1.3mm depth, 120w power) and I feel like there has been fat loss on my cheek area which I'm not happy about at all. I assumed RF Microneedling did not go as deep as ultrasound so fat loss would not be an issue. Obviously this is not true. I also feel the medical Dr who carried out the treatment should not have targeted my upper cheek area but should have only focused on the lower face.

Lol!!!! People need to use common sense with this. Number one- When listening to any "expert" always remember the old adage- Follow the money!!! He's a famous plastic surgeon. He makes the biggest part of his income performing plastic surgeries, not doing non surgical face treatments. He is naturally going to do what is best for him to make the most money. Which means that he will scare people away from a treatment that costs very little and is now available for home use. I have had the Lumo for 2 weeks and have used it almost every other day. I am 70 and was a smoker, sun bather when I was younger, and ate the usual crappy American food. I have lots of wrinkles and loose facial skin with not much fat. Part of that is also due to the fact that I have dentures and that makes your lower face cave in and wrinkle. I am very pleased with the results so far. My cheeks and middle face have now plumped up and the part where my nasal folds have fallen are no longer as noticable. Hmmmm. My upper cheeks were skinny before.... but have plumped up now. I do not believe that the heat of the instrument is enough to melt the fat. I think that's a deliberate falsehood. Think about all the times you lay out in the Sun and how hot you get. I'm sure the heat goes deeper than a half inch down into your body. How many of us have lost fat from sunbathing????? If all of this were true, women would be heating up their bodies to get rid of their fat. Common sense, people. Just because someone is a famous expert, don't think they won't lie to keep their money coming in!!!!

I believe Fat loss from RF & ultrasound is not permanent, and can come back with time. A good example is Former super model Linda Evangelista who’s all over social media about her horrible & adverse side effect from device fat loss. SHe had Cool sculpt ( fat freeze) at a reputable medical office to get rid of fat from her face and body. Not only did the fat come back, but it multiplied leaving her looking a lot heavier than what she started with. She wouldn’t leave home for a long time because she felt ashamed of how she looked. I guess that means that device fat loss does come back with time. It is not permanent. Red light skin therapy masks or hand held devices are a good treatment before the micro current face lifting. It warms up and prepares the muscles before tightening and lifting. However, if one has melasma or dark pigmentation.. Red light therapy can make it worse.

How about red light does it cause fat loss ?

So, I guess it work well for legs and abdomen then?

New subscriber here ❤️ What about red light therapy???!!!!!! I have been using my red light therapy mask at home, however, im not ready to loose a single ml of my face fat !! Thank you for the great one of a kind content! 🌷

Has anyone here got experience with potenza? I received a few days ago and now seeing comments I am very worried

I wish I would have known this could happen. I had Thermage done a week and a half ago.

I love being Fibroblasted its cheap and the most effective for wrinkles texture

What about NEWA devices?

That’s why I only use them on my body 😂

this wrecked my face radio frequency

i did IPL for skin brightening, my face looks good at first but after a week , i lose face fats, which is not good i become look old than before

How about HIFU. Like the HIFU mini 2.0? Also how often should we use them when we are in our 40/50's with some jowling?

I lost fat in my face from an interesting source. I have pitting on the left side, and a pouch of fat loss on two areas… Not fun, not to mention expensive

I have had a great time with Hifu. No problems at all. about to do it again. But then again, I do have a enough fat on my face that I dont need to stress. Sometimes I think women blame the treatment rather than the fact that they are already losing fat due to hormonal issues. I dont think you need to be a medical professional, just have some training and knowledge. Why on earth do you need someone with a medical background? Its not heart surgery!

I’ve read way too many terrible outcomes with this fat loss from these procedures. I wouldn’t do it if it was offered free. Face looks pretty good till all the swelling is gone and they look like they aged 20 years. Granted, it doesnt always happen, but it happens enuf. I don’t believe enuf is known about long term damage from these devices and procedures. It has destroyed the lives and looks of many women, who spend every waking moment trying to find someone to “fix” this damage. None do. I cannot believe anyone would do this, knowing there is that much of a risk.

Would the fat loss be permanent?

I've been badly damaged by morpheus8 8 months ago. Fat loss, scarring and indents all over and face now like wax. Temples have lost fat
