TCA CROSS can be performed in many strengths. Hard to know which one was used but. It's also difficult to asses the extent of improvement you will get with Infini. You will likely require several treatments and it may never completely resolve, although, I do agree that Infini is a good choice for you given your skin type. Best of luck
TCA CROSS should be effective in the treatment of deep ice pick scars- very predictable treatment. Yes, in the CORRECT setting, Infini RF can be very effective, especially in your skin type. You will also require 4-7 sessions of surgical subcision. Acne scar revision comprises of specialised procedures. For the best results, one should target the acne scar type with ideal treatments METHODS. Using one device is not optimal. As everyone has a unique pattern of acne scarring, the best solution is a tailored one. 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. As an example deep ice pick scars, and narrow box car scars are best treated with TCA CROSS. Deep narrow scars respond better to this treatment than even the most expensive lasers. On the flip side, rolling, and atrophic acne scars can improve with fractional devices such as Fraxel, fractional lasers, ProFractional erbium lasers, Infiini –Intensif –Intracel radiofrequency microneedling. Atrophic scars (depressions) can be treated with either fat grafts, PRP or dermal fillers. Tethered and anchored scars are best treated with surgical techniques such as subcision. Other surgical techniques that I use include punch elevation, surgical elevation, punch excision and traditional excision for focal scars. Early and very mild acne scars respond well to eMatrix and non-energy microneedling, as well as vascular lasers. Skin colour changes such as PIH or dark marks respond best to sun protection, creams, and Q switch lasers in the nano and pico pulse durations. 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. Additionally tactile examination namely touch will give me an understanding of the amount of subdermal fibrosis, as special equipment is needed for this sub-set of acne scars. In the majority of patients its finding the correct combination that give you best results, and everyone is unique! It is never about the device, its about the specialist behind the equipment that will deliver the best outcomes. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Acne scar dermatologist specialist. Brisbane, Australia.
That photo is about 5 years old. The pros and cons of treatment must be discussed with your Board Certified specialist- can Infini cause fat loss? Yes, if used incorrectly, sure it can. If a laser is held down long enough (i.e. Pulse stacking a Co2 or erbium drill for 30 seconds) it can even...
The picture is not helpful but in general, eye wrinkles are best treated with fillers, Dysport/Botox, and ablative lasers. Infini is not optimal for this area. The cheeks can also be lifted with fillers. Dark circles require lasers, filler, and good eye creams. Losing 5 inches from the abdomen...
In the correct setting, this will not kill off your hair follicles, note however Infini may give you rebound redness. This is especially for patients prone to flushing, redness and rosacea. As previously mentioned please consider Ultherapy HIFU or RF bipolar treatments, Dr Isobel Walker....
