Damage from Infini RF 4 weeks after treatment? (Photo)

Hi There-- proper Infini technique requires a pause while the needles go into the dermis, deliver the RF pulse and then retract. This results in a ball of coagulation in the dermis while not damaging the epidermis. This way, you can get massive collagen stimulation in the dermis without the extended downtime from the epidermal healing you have with fractional lasers. If you pull up too soon, you will get a column of damage instead of a ball. Healing will be prolonged, and in darker skinned patients you will run a higher risk of hyperpigmentation. This may indeed have been the cause of your prolonged recovery. However, this one picture shows redness and track marks that should completely heal. If there is no hyperpigmentation, that is fantasatic. It will take a little longer, but you should heal up very well. Using a good post-procedure regimen is critical to this healing process. I put all my Infini patients on a Biopelle Growth Factor to accelerate healing. A high-quality HA serum is also helpful, along with good moisturizers.

As Dr Lim has suggested this course of treatments can reduce the grids from Infini RF. I normally recommend treatment at 3-4 months if the grids are still present. The use of LED such as HealLite can also help with the healing process. Dr Isobel Walker. Fiori Institute. Brisbane. Australia. 

At 4 weeks , your skin is still healing and inflammation is still present. Over 6 months, the tracks and infinity marks will subside. I would see your dermatologist to add a steroid cream or other scar cream to enhance the healing. If there are issues at 6 months, the fraxel or clear laser will help.
