Do treatments that target and rejuvenate collagen also melt fat?

Hi, great question. The short answer is that energy-based treatments that use, say, ultrasound or radiofrequency energy can do this, if the energy that is meant to be directed at the collagen-layer in the skin is aimed instead into the fat that lies underneath the skin. Take a look at this article for more detail on the way that RF needling can in some circumstances, melt fat – which is great if this is done deliberately because you want fat reduction in the face, but not so good if it happens by accident.

The key thing is to find a practitioner who has enough expertise to use the treatment appropriately for your face and skin, so that you get the results that you want – and not the ones that you don’t.
