Infini for Festoon treatment?

Question

My doc wants to treat my festoons with Infini laser. Has anyone heard of treating festoons with this laser? And Are there any proven trials? I'm thinking if it were that easy, everyone would be using this treatment... I know festoons are difficult to treat, every doctor starts his advise with that fact.

This was just presented at the American Society for dermatologic surgery meeting. I don't know of any published articles. It appears that multiple treatments of festoons with infini seem to be effective. It's important to distinguish between festoons and malar fat pads as the latter have not been successfully treated.Cosmeticskin.com

I have been treating festoons with Infini with good results. It will cause a heating and contraction of the deeper tissue and tightening of the skin. Since nothing is very good, at least this option gives some results. It is quick and without much discomfort. Make sure that there is no bulk heating - allow for enough time between passes for the heat to dissipate. Count on about 3-4 treatments.

I am not aware of any studies of using the infini for festoons. I have used both the CO2 and erbium yag laser to treat this problem with some good results. It makes sense to me that the infini would help this problem since it tightens the skin by increasing collagen production. I would talk to your doctor about this.

Yes, it can be. It is not my preferred option for treating festoons by using a long PD with this device can be effective. 2-4 sessions. Ensure you see a Board Certified Dermatologist -Plastics or Occuloplastics for this procedure. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane Australia.
