Is it okay to do microneedling RF (Infini RF) over lumps from subcision?

Question

I have been getting subcision for pitted acne scars over the last 4 months. I have read that it is normal to have hard lumps post subcision which I do have. The last few nights I've been massaging them and they've gone down, however there is still slight tenderness where the lumps have been. I want to get Microneedling RF (Infini) to further help with the acne scars. Is it okay to have Infini if you have post subcision lumps/tenderness?

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is OK to have microneedling following subcision. I would wait until the lumps resolve and the tenderness is gone. I would continue to massage the lumps.

yes you can do subcision and microneedling RF together. we have all our patients do at home dermarolling weekly at home too (see link to emeragecosmetics.com where we do free skincare consultations daily).  Best, Dr. Emer.

I will often combine subcision and Infini in the same sitting. Treating lumps from subcision with the Infini is fine, but in your case, I would wait until you are less tender and have healed more. It is quite possible that this issue subsides on its own.
