FACIAL FAT LOSS FROM RF DEVICES 🤔 Dermatologist @DrDrayzday discusses facial fat loss from radiofrequency treatments and at home radiofrequency devices. Can radiofrequency melt the fat in your face and make you appear gaunt? Can Morpheus 8 melt the fat in your face? Are at home radiofrequency devices safe to use?

This video is so spot on. My friend who was working as a patient care coordinator for a plastic surgeon who opened up a clinic in Calabassas California and it also had a skin rejuvenation side that used a professional grade RF Machine. At night when everyone left, he would be the last person to lock up the place, well he decided to secretly start using the RF Device on himself because it would give him immediate results by firming and tightening his skin and then he would apply a bunch of serums, go home, get dolled up and go out to the clubs.

He ended up moving back to Oregon abruptly and OH MY GOSH, when I saw his face I was MORTIFIED!!! He was NOT trained on how to use the device and literally dissolved not only that fat pads in his cheeks, but the fat in the mid facial section and even the tissues in his nose. I thought he was sick or on drugs and that's when he told me that he had damaged his face from the RF Device and thought that he had a close enough relationship with one of the aestheticians and asked her to help him fix it.

She reported him to the Doctor and they pulled him into the office and explained that what he had done was not reversible and that only a fat transfer or fillers would replace all the volume he had destroyed and even those procedures would have to be repeated overtime. He was terminated immediately and it is so sad, because he is such a social butterfly and he ruined his good looks. I've never heard him cry so hard and it haunts me to this day.

So to see this video and hear exactly what improper usage of this device can do, really put things into perspective for me. This is a valuable lesson for anyone reading this to be an honest employee and to NEVER use high grade medical devices on yourself, especially if you are not licensed nor trained!....

At 61 all I do is botox around every 4 to 6 months. Heavy moisturizer and retinA at night and only a good sunscreen during the day. That's all I'm willing to do. It gets to be to much. Plus I try not to gain to much weight. So far I'm happy with my aging.

That shade of green is flattering to your skin tone, eyes and hair; nice sweater. Thank you for explaining RF.

[beautybeyond]

THANK YOU for making this video! This is the top #1 FAQ I get about my at-home rf devices. I always say they don't reach the fat layer and tell everyone to make sure they follow the manual for best results. So happy to see this video!

[kathryngrace]

Girl… that beautiful, deep green is definitely your color!

[princessrevenge]

So I should buy this and use it on my stomach!

[bogse]

Who wants to take these treatments when you know this. Think about it, you may lose your face volume prematurely for good. Then you start to consider fillers and there is no end to it. Use sunscreen and retinol and forget those risky treatments, just my opinion.

I found that gaining weight made my face look a lot better! Like so much better I couldn't believe it lol. I hope the best for u thank u so much for this video ❤

[esofia]

She’s right about RF at home devices. I’ve been using the NEWA for months. It hasn’t caused any fat loss whatsoever

[cubanmama]

Awesome informative video. You are one of the few YouTube dermatologists I admire for explaining things in depth and making recommendations.

Skinny, thin skinned white women need to be especially careful with all devices. We especially can not afford any fat loss and I learned this the hard way. I got a really high powered IPL done at a reputable plastic surgeon’s office in Beverly Hills and I experienced an immediate flattening of my cheeks over the following days. I was so distraught about it that I had to get filler. They *say* that it is not possible for IPL to cause fat loss because it doesn’t go that deep but my face and filler bills say otherwise. I also have the before and after photos to prove it. I think a lot of these device are too risky for people that have extremely thin skin and minimal facial fat.

I have an RF device and I use it on my chin and neck ONLY. Love the results so far.

[JG-bloj]

Thank you so much for this. Morpheus 8 results for me were not what I hoped. Definitely caused major fat loss where I didn’t want it.

[kathleenrose]

Love your hair here ...looks so healthy and forest green looks good on you!

[jgrsrichelle]

So happy i get to see this before doing rf

[loriannciasulli]

This was so helpful. I didn’t realize they could change the settings. This important to know and I will be discussing this with my provider.

I had HIFU done on my double chin, since i had done kybella twice, and left my double chin saggy... and then i had HiFU done on my face and I regret it so much. Now I have thin skin, mild open pores and I didnt even need it!! I did it cuz the esthetician said it would thighten my skin and make me look younger😢😢😢. But I see a tremendous difference and luckly I had it done ince on my face. Twice on my double chin. And when i asked her if it was going to melt my face she said yes a little but for the better....😭😭😭😭😭 and is not true.. it is not for the better. I wish I could turn back time and never had that done!

I used the Newa device for 8 weeks and it was during a super busy time in my life so I really didn’t pay much attention to any results during that time. Just committed the time and really kind of ignored assessing an outcome until the end. I was genuinely shocked when I finally took the time to stop and take stock of what progress I was making. I have always had very full cheeks naturally, and my big full cheeks are…..flat. I panicked. I didn’t even know that was possible. I was seriously wondering if I was just imagining it but truly, it’s nearly impossible to deny. I haven’t touched the device since. Frankly, I’ve only considered picking it back up again to use under my chin. If it caused significant fat loss on my full cheeks, which was very upsetting, perhaps it can redeem itself by helping with my double chin! All in all, I advise very real caution. Mine is a cautionary tale.

I have been praying for your son's recovery and for your wellbeing. Yesterday I was thinking and wondering how you guys were doing, so pleased to see your video. Sending much love from England

Thank you, Dr Dray. I got the Tripollar Stop VX gold at the start of the pandemic and I love that it's made the fine lines around my eyes and mouth so much less noticeable. (or maybe that's the Omnilux?). I don't even use it as often as I'm supposed to. Glad you mentioned that it's never been shown to cause fat loss. The heat is barely noticeable so I can't see how that could cause fat loss; however, I can't tolerate the RF+DMA mode on my jawline, so I haven't used that.
