Infini RF cap - is it reusable?

Question

My doctor gave me Infini RF's cap piece (the part with needles) to bring it for the next appointment. She says one cap can be used up to 4-5 treatments. But I found some info on Internet that these caps are single use. So do I risk anything reusing the same cap? Thanks in advance!

Katherine Dee, MD · Answer

The Infini tips (the part with the needles) are absolutely not to be reused. These are sterile and sharp when first opened. Any storage over time will risk accumulating contaminants and bacteria and will increase the chance of infection. The needles will be dull and the treatment may be more painful and less effective. I would choose another doctor, someone who is an expert and who is not cutting corners.

The tips for Infini are one time use. There is risk of infection if they are reused. Also, the needles will dull and the treatment can be compromised with this practice. Also, the insulation can break down and cause complications as well. I highly recommend not doing this.

As with others I absolutely agree. The caps are very expensive, and hence why I can see why some doctors will want to try to cut cost, but this should NEVER happen. Contamination is an issue, sharpness will decrease over time, and carbon build up on the tips will make it a non insulated blunt, potentially dangerous needling system. Insist on a new end piece each time. This will make your treatment more effective and safer. Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
