Great question! Acne scarring can be frustrating. The good news is, the Infini is stimulating your body's own collagen. This has long lasting results since it is your own body that is at work! The effects should last for years! You should see dramatic results from 3-4 treatments from where you started. There are other treatments that you can do afterwards that aren't as aggressive to help maintain and prolong your results as well, such as the LaseMD, regular HydraFacials, and a consistent individualized skin care regimen. Best of luck to you!

Hi!
The results for Infini RF are permanent. However, it does take several months for the final result - 1 month is a bit too soon to judge.
You will need other complementary treatments such as subcision and fractional lasers for best results.
All the best!

One month is still very early- your specialist would have told you that. INFINI is my RF of choice, it is a good device but its operator dependent. Undoubtedly you WILL require manual subcsion with filler at some stage. For scar revision in SG see the dermatology laser unit at the NSC or Prof CL Goh. To answer your question, collateral breaking of bonds IS permanent, collagen remodelling is permanent. Collagen production is NOT infinite. 
Acne scar revision is a sub-specialised field. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments and not just one device. The web reference below will take you to a resource to help you understand acne scar revision at a specialist level. I embedded all the videos in one page to help. 
For example deep ice pick scars, and narrow box car scars can be treated with TCA CROSS peels, mixed scars, rolling, and atrophic scars treated with fractional devices such as Fraxel, fractional lasers, PRP and INFINI radiofrequency. Atrophic scars (depressions) can be treated with either fat grafts, or with HA dermal fillers. Tethered and anchored scars are best treated with surgical techniques such as subcision. Other surgical techniques that we use include punch elevation, surgical elevation, punch excision and traditional excision of focal scars. 
The majority of patients will have a collection of different scar types, and hence a tailored treatment METHOD will be best. Careful examination, especially under angled lighting with scar mapping will give you an understanding of what are the best options for your scars. In the majority of patients its finding the correct combination that give you best results, and everyone is unique! All the best,
