I have red pinpoint sized marks on my face after Infini treatment - is this normal?

Question

I have just received my first Infini treatment. I was told I bled a lot during treatment and am very vascular. It's been 1 day and I have red pinpoint sized marks which are scattered in all areas of my face. Is this normal? Should this resolve?

E. Victor Ross, MD · Answer

Yes the occurrence of the small red dots under the skin is quite common, particularly as early as 1 day after the treatment.  Sometimes the small dots can take 8-10 days to completely resolve.

Robert M. Wald, Jr., MD · Answer

Infini has needles that penetrate to different areas of the dermis. Like any needle, small pinpoint holes are made. Depending on the patient, more bruising can occur due to this trauma.  People on some nutritional supplements or blood thinners will form these small pinpoint red areas. They will resolve in several days.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

These marks are called petechia and are minute amounts of blood under the skin surface. It can happen in all patients, but more likely to those on some type of blood thinners. It is likely that a supplement contains fish oils, vitamin E. Also if you took aspirin within 2 weeks of the procedure, this could happen. Also, motrin, advil, or similar products can do the same. I treat this with a vascular laser such as VBeam or Excel V.

Yes, I am sure your specialist would have told you of this. Depending on your skin type, energy levels, depth, passes and PD, these marks will remain for a few days to weeks. For a exact duration, give your Infini Board Specialist a call, and he or she will guide you as to the recovery- as only they know the settings they used on you. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane.
