Can you do subcision between infini rf treatments say I had my first infini rf treatment 1 week ago planning on doing subcision at 3rd week after subcision and go back for my 2nd infini rf 3 weeks later?

Answer: Yes you can but combination treatments often better. Yes, you can, but to save time, and for better results we often combine treatments on the same day, depending on the extent of your acne scars. I use both the Infini and Instensif devices, each as its pros and cons. Infiini needs a stronger solenoid, and if you fibrotic scars that are deep, possibly Intensif or Co2 will be better. If you have severe tethered scars than NOKOR subcision is best. You should have all you treatments either performed, or in some cases supervised by a Board Specialist. Acne scar revision is a sub-specialised field. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments and not just one device. The web reference below will take you to a resource to help you understand acne scar revision at a specialist level. I embedded all the videos in one page to help. For example deep ice pick scars, and narrow box car scars can be treated with TCA CROSS peels, mixed scars, rolling, and atrophic scars treated with fractional devices such as Fraxel, fractional lasers, PRP and INFINI radiofrequency. Atrophic scars (depressions) can be treated with either fat grafts, or with HA dermal fillers. Tethered and anchored scars are best treated with surgical techniques such as subcision. Other surgical techniques that we use include punch elevation, surgical elevation, punch excision and traditional excision of focal scars. The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment METHOD will be best. Careful examination, especially under angled lighting with scar mapping will give you an understanding of what are the best options for your scars. In the majority of patients its finding the correct combination that give you best results, and everyone is unique! All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Acne scar dermatologist specialist.
