I had my first Infini treatment done on my cheeks and forehead yesterday, but the redness is much more intense than any photo/review I've found for 30 hours after treatment. Additionally, I think I'm having an allergic reaction to products that were used as I have small red hives on parts of my face that weren't treated, which may be why my face is so red and angry in treated areas.
