Infini RF treatment for acne scars while on antibiotics (Tetralysal 300 mg)?

March 21, 2016
Asked By:nightjar in Morton, Illinois

My dermatologist has just prescribed Tetralysal 300 mg for treatment of my active acne. I am also applying tretinoin 0.1% every night. I'm interested in the Infini RF treatment for acne scars, but I'm wondering if I can undergo this treatment while on antibiotics. Should I finish the 1-month course before I consider Infini RF, or can I do this concurrently while on antibiotics?

Infini - is the damage permanent? Is there anything more that can be done? (photo)
Steven Swengel, MD says:

Rest assured these marks will clear over time.   The needles of Infini are quite sharp and small and those puncture holes clear quickly.  It appears you got too much energy placed too superficially, hence the gooseflesh appearance.  These will gradually clear over time as well.  You might con...
