How should this topic be assessed?
In 2025 the FDA reported burns, scarring, fat loss, disfigurement and nerve damage; reports do not measure personal incidence or prove causality. One label may cover different devices, needle depths, energy, contents and protocols; studies cannot be treated as directly equivalent. Online information cannot replace an examination-based decision about personal suitability or outcome.
What should be clarified in consultation?
Ask for the exact device, intended use, Turkish registration, needle and energy settings, operator training and adverse-event plan. The goal, alternatives, the option of no procedure, material risks, follow-up and urgent warning signs should also be discussed.
