Infini RF for tethered and rolling scars?

Question

Is the Infini device effective on tethered scarring, and rolling scars? Based on my rudimentary understanding of the mechanism of the device, it seems that Infini might be more effective for treating tethered scars than subcision. Is this true?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

"​Acne scars need a combination approach for long-term improvement. Everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, and most people have various types of scars, so we create a tailored treatment plan for each patient. We often use:
- Injectable fillers like Bellafill and Sculptra (with or without subcision) for atrophic, indented scars. 
- Subcision for depressed, tethered scars. 
- Vascular lasers like Yellow laser, Aerolase, excel V, BBL, or IPL for redness or thick acne scars. 
- Lasers such as Fraxel, Erbium, CO2, Halo or fractional radiofrequency (Venus Viva, Skinfinity, Morpheus, PiXel8, Fractora, Intensif microneedling RF) for textural issues and superficial scarring. 
- TCA CROSS and punch excision for deep ice pick scars and narrow box car scars.

All lasers are combined with microneedling/PRP to improve the results and accelerate your healing time. Keep in mind that a personalized combination treatment by an expert physician will give you the improvement you're looking for. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist and acne scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer. ​"

This device treat multiple scar types including rolling, and to some degree tethered scars. I have seen excellent results for tethered- anchored scars, however subcision still remains the Gold Standard for the treatment of these scars. Infini is not a targeted scar approach (unlike punch excision, subcision, excision, TCA CROSS) but gives a global improvement in acne scarring. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
