What are the possible negative side effects of the INFINI treatment? (Photo)

You need a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in acne scarring/pigmentation and does a combination of treatments including: surgery, subcision, or TCA cross for deep or pitted "ice pick" scars; fillers like Bellafill or Sculptra or Radiesse for broad "boxcar" or "rolling" scars; Eclipse Micropen for all types of scars and improvement in texture and tone; lasers such as co2 laser resurfacing or Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant or radiofrequency such as Sublative or Viva or Infini to improve the scars and give long term collagen production.  Radiofrequency devices like Infini have very little risk to pigmentation as they are color blind.  Fractional laser if done by a well trained professional give similar results.  There are many options but you want someone who can customize a regimen for your short and long term goals based on your individual situation. Best, Dr. Emer.

    In our experience, complications or negative side effects are remarkably low with the Infini RF treatments.  This of course assumes that the patient selection is appropriate and the settings and technique are done by a professional with proper training and credentials.  It also has been our experience that pre treating the skin with a balanced medical skincare regimen will also optimize the response to Infini as well as reduce the possibility of any side effects.  Problems such as hyperpigmentation which can be frustrating with laser treatment in darker skin types are not typically seen with Infini treatments.

I am going to agree with my good friend Dr. Steven Weiner. In 2015, Infini is the best treatment overall for acne scars. Other adjunctive treatments as outlined by Dr. Emer are very useful as well but Infini is currently my go to device for acne scars. Side effect profile is minimal
