I look like a mess 3 days after a session of Infini RF. The purpose was rejuvenation. I‘ve now got track marks and white bumps all over the treated areas.

This is unusual after Infini and might be the products placed on the skin. I would use steroid to reduce the redness and hives. If redness is greater than 2 weeks, a vascular laser should be used. Consider a 2nd opinion.
