I lost a lot of volume in my face and have thin, sagging skin. I am looking to get rid of fine lines around my eyes and mouth and to tighten my skin. I would probably be a good candidate for a face lift, but can't afford the cost nor the downtime. At this time, I can only afford either 1 Infini treatment or a series of 3-4 regular microneedling treatments (which cost about the same where I live.) Which of the two would give me better results?
Answer: Volume Loss If volume loss is your primary concern, perhaps neither of these devices would give you the results you are looking for. A "non-surgical face lift" can be achieved using injectable fillers, such as the haluronic acid fillers, Restylane and Juvederm. These products yield instant results that, if performed by an experienced injector, will restore volume and give you an immediate lifted and refreshed appearance. To avoid the disappointment of wasted time and money, I recommend a face-to-face consultation for recommendations on how to meet your specific goals.

Answer: Getting the most for your money--intensif and microneedling--Add PRP It is best you get a a cosmetic consultation. Without any photos it is hard to tell what would be best for you and it may take a series of treatments to see improvement for volume loss. I will say that I always do prp with microneedling treatments for best results. We like intensif over infini for microneedling/RF. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Infini vs. Needling There is a difference between Infini and straight micro-needling. The Infini device can deliver radiofrequency energy to different levels of the skin to promote collagen formation and improved appearance with some tightening. The micro-needling injury to the dermis does not use energy but does create some new collagen. The Infini itself is usually recommended not as a single treatment, but in a series of three treatments to get the best results. Micro-needling is also not meant to be a single session. So the choice may depend on cost and your own available time. I hope this helps you make a decision.

Answer: Infini vs microneedling In my opinion, the infini will produce better results than microneedling using a dermapen. The infini delivers high energy and this radio frequency energy penetrates deeper and at various levels of the dermis. This energy will stimulate collagen to tighten the skin. Realize, that any noninvasive device, will not deliver the same results as surgery.

Answer: Infini is best for tightening skin Microneedling (preferably with Growth Factor Serum or PRP) is great for increasing collagen and treating fine lines and reversing the natural collagen loss we suffer as we age, but the procedure-- even a series of 3-- is not powerful enough to actually tighten skin and improve laxity in the lower face.
