Infini Microneedle Fractional Radiofrequency - The treatment for acne scars

 

We all know our local Mediacorp Artist Mark Lee. Having depressed acne scars since he was young, he was teased and made fun off during his early days of his acting. Having personally treated him for a good couple of years, I have to say that his results are truly good especially with the duel effects of scar improvement and skin tightening, allowing regrowth of collagen for a tighter smoother skin.

 

  

Infini uses Microneedle that punctures into the skin at a controlled depth, breaking up scar fibres deep beneath the skin. It also delivers radiofrequency at specific energies including the duration of energy to be supplied. This allows very specific collagen growth remodelling and when done in experienced hands have next to no side effects.

 

1) Why choose Infini as compared to other laser resurfacing?
One huge advantage of this procedure is the ability to get huge dramatic results without the need for laser resurfacing, hence avoiding the need for a long down time yet still getting the results they desire

2) Is there any risk of fat atrophy?
Although there has been some reports of this, I personally have not had any patients with this particular side effect. The Infini microneedles are of a variable depth, hence allowing the user to select which depth the energy should be supplied. This microneedle should never be placed in the fatty laser of the skin, hence there should not be any risk of fat atrophy in an experienced user

3) How is Edge Fractional CO2 laser different?
Edge Fractional CO2 is an ablative laser that allows for controlled micro-thermal damage allowing for collagen stimulation and hence scar improvement. It uses a different technology as compared to Infini

4) Any risk of Infini?
The risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is always there, but this risk can be reduced and eliminated completely if your doctor understands the machine well.



The procedure isn't as scary as you think! Will be happy to see anyone who is keen to do this procedure for improvement in depressed acne scars and also for skin tightening.
