Should I ask about the device and settings before RF microneedling?
Question to clarify
I am considering RF microneedling for pores or acne scars. What should I ask about device selection, needle depth, heat settings, clinician training, and possible complications?
Source-backed answer
Ask for the device name, the clinician’s training and experience, how depth and energy will be chosen for your skin and treatment area, expected adverse effects, and the plan for unexpected symptoms. The FDA has reported serious complications including burns, scarring, fat loss, disfigurement, and nerve damage. This is not a home-use procedure, and suitability requires assessment by a qualified professional.
