Or should I try a different treatment? I am looking for a doctor that does infini RF microneedling.
Answer: Acne Scars -- Needs Combination of Subcision; Fillers Like Bellafill; Lasers Like Fraxel/Erbium/Co2; TCA cross; Intensif/Fractor Acne scar treatment needs a combination approach for improvement. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type. As everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, the best solution is a tailored one. Typically you need fillers like bellafill and sculptra for atrophic indented type scars with or without subcision. Subcision for depressed tethered scars. Vascular lasers like yellow laser, aerolase, excel V or IPL for redness or thick scars. And lasers such as fraxel, erbium, co2 or fractional radiofrequency like venus viva, skinfinity, intensif or fractora microneedling RF for textural issues and superficial scarring. Deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars are best treated with TCA CROSS and punch excision. All lasers are combined with microneedling and PRP to get even better results and improve healing times. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment plan is needed by an expert physician. It is never about the laser or product that gives the results, its about the expert behind the equipment that gets you the outcome. Scars cannot be cured and will need life-long treatments to maintain and build on the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Temple scars? Infini RF? Englewood Cliffs New Jersey Your saucer shaped and superficial boxcars should respond to infini RF. However, there is also a marked decrease in volume in the area that may need contouring with a filler. Find an expert. Good luck.

Answer: Infini for Acne Scars michaelcuevas, Thank you so much for your question and for the attached picture. There are multiple treatments that can help your acne scars. Infini or a Fractional Laser are great options that can help reduce their appearance. You will need multiple treatments spread out, so be patient with yourself, as scars can be stubborn and it may take a long time to see the results you are expecting. Finding a provider who is skilled at working with scars and whose goals align with your own will be best! Be well. Hillary Ching, PA-CGerrish MedEsthetics

Answer: Infini and Acne scars From that image it looks like your scars would be improved with Infini. The results take a long time to achieve-- I usually tell patients to give me a year. The process of building collagen and evening out the skin evolves over at least 6 months after each treatment. After that, you likely would benefit from laser resurfacing to further smooth the skin surface.

Answer: Can Infini help my acne scars? I think Infini is a great choice for you. I would combine with subcision, possibly fillers and PRP. Laser resurfacing can be used as well but would save for later. There is an upgraded version going to be FDA approved soon called the Genius which has impedance feedback, sharper needles, better motor, and more ergonomic handpiece. I've been doing the FDA trials and our patients are recovering faster and enjoying their results.
