I want to try Infini RF Microneedling. I am Asian in my 20s so want to avoid hyperpigementation that Fraxel Laser may leave. I have a mixed of scars- boxcars, icepicks, rolling, and round ones. Before paying for consultation, I want to know if it will help. Will I be a good candidate for Infini RF Microneedling? If so, how many sessions will I need? I understand I will not be 100% scar free. Also, I still have some pimples but this is the best my skin has ever be. Can I still do micro needling?
Answer: Infini RF Thank you for your question and your photos. Infini treats at variable depths to precisely target the different thicknesses of the facial skin for truly customized treatment. Infini stimulates your body to rebuild collagen and elastin to help fill in the scars and indentations. As far as the number of treatments it is safe to say you may need at least 3 treatments to see significant improvement. Most patients typically have more than one treatment. Full results can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months for the new collagen to fully grow. Hope this helps,Dr. Newall

Answer: Recommend a combination of TCA cross and a resurfacing laser to help even out skin texture caused by acne scarring Acne scars are usually characterized within the subtypes of atrophic, hypertrophic, pigmented, or inflammatory. These subtypes of acne scars can be visually discerning in ambient light and can cause significant cosmetic concerns. Indented and atrophic scars require a combination approach to stimulate collagen and elastin, thereby smoothing contour and uneven skin. These are usually combined with lasers and depigmentation protocols to reduce inflammatory hyperpigmentation (Melarase AM and Melarase PM). Our Hidef protocols for acne scars include fillers such as Sculptra, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Restylane to improve deep acne scars; Vascular lasers to reduce inflammation and post-inflammatory redness and erythema; Fractional lasers to smooth contour and collagen; and Fractional RF to stimulate production of collagen within atrophic scars. Textural improvement and superficial scarring can be improved with Cosmelan peels, TCA Cross for ice-pick scars, deep chemical peels, and fractional CO2. We offer a personalized approach to your combination of scars and a formal evaluation with consultation is recommended to help you achieve your final results. Our plastic surgery office offers subcision and combination TCA Cross to help reduce deeply pitted scars. In terms of pigmentation and skin resonance, we recommend daily use of Melarase AM and Melarase PM coupled with Retinoid creams to achieve brilliant skin.

Answer: Infini RF for acne scarring In our clinic we have seen incredible outcomes with improved acne scarring with the use of Lutronic's RF Infini. We would recommend 4 treatments of Infini followed by LaseMD separated by 4-6 weeks apart for a corrective scarring regimen.

Answer: Infini microneedling can help reduce acne scarring in Asian skin and all skin types There is always a risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (or darkening after a skin procedure), whether a chemical peel, laser or radiofrequency device. In the short time that Infini microneedling has been available, the company has collected from different doctors photographs showing very good results in acne scar reduction without hyperpigmentation, but no one should say there is zero risk!

Answer: Excellent Choice Infini is an excellent choice for the treatment of acne scars.Other types of treatments, such as laser resurfacing, can cause hyperpigmentation as you've mentioned, but Infini is safe for all skin types without the risk of hyperpipgmentation. For most patients, I recommend a series of 3-4 treatment sessions, 4 weeks apart. As there are different types of acne scars, I recommend that you be seen for a consultation to determine if other treatments would be additionally beneficial.
