RF Microneedling has become a go-to treatment for skin tightening, scars, and rejuvenation. But the U.S. FDA recently issued a safety communication (Oct 2025) after reports of some serious side effects linked to improper use.

💥 Reported Complications

• Burns or blistering

• Scarring and pigment changes

• Fat loss or facial hollowing

• Nerve pain or numbness

BUT these issues were mostly seen when devices were used by untrained operatorsor not cleared for medical use.

🧴 How to Stay Safe

✅ Choose a board-certified dermatologist or qualified medical professional

✅ Make sure the device is FDA-cleared and used for approved indications

✅ Avoid “home-use” or non-medical spa settings

✅ Report any severe reaction such as persistent swelling, burning, or asymmetry if any. 

👩‍⚕️ Note from dermatologist 

When performed by experts with the right technology, RF Microneedling is effective and safe. The FDA warning isn’t to discourage treatment — it’s to remind everyone that techniques, training, and device choice matter.

Your skin needs expertise, not risk. ✨
