So I've been recommended infini as a great treatment for rolling type tethered acne scars, but I've recently had a consultation with a aesthetic nurse practioner as well who's told me the dermapen is the better option than infini. Now I am more confused than ever. I'm sorry for asking so many questions thank you for your help
Answer: Infini microneedling has radiofrequency and dermapen does not but both can help acne scars As far as I'm aware we don't have studies comparing dermapen microneedling to Infini microneedling that also uses radiofrequency energy injected via the needles to heat the dermis and stimulate collagen formation thereby smoothening, not erasing, acne scars, fine lines, sundamaged skin texture, upper lip smoker's lines and facial wrinkles. Clinically many providers are happy they tell me with microneedling. Infini delivers a double pronged attack on the acne scars. It protects the epidermis via insulation of the needles and only the tips of the needles in the dermis below the skin where the acne scars lie, receive the radiofrequency energy and heat. One would think that this will give us better results but clinicians need more time to see what results are obtained a year or more after the treatment is completed.

Answer: Infini Thank you for your question and photos. Infini does a great job with acne scars. In my practice we use Infini to address several skin concerns because we feel it achieves great results. The results can be seen immediately after the completion of the treatment. However, the rebuilding of collagen in your body can take weeks to months. For optimal results, it can take 2 to 3 treatments and full results can take anywhere from 4 to 6 months once the new collagen growth is complete. Results will vary per individual.Hope this helps,Dr. Newall

Answer: Infini vs Dermapen: ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS nj In my opinion, rolling scars respond better to Infini. When one has very superficial scarring, I do believe that multiple sessions with microneedling or lasers give Superior results.

Answer: Infini vs Dermapen for acne scars - Infini This isn't even close. I would say that one Infini is equal to about 8-10 treatments with the Dermapen. The dermapen can't go as deep and doesn't have the energy (RF) associated with it. There is coagulation which is the key driver of collagen formation and remodeling using the Infini. Clearly this person lacks understanding of the technology and/or doesn't have it available so it isn't an option at their facility. Our charge for Infini is 10x what it is for dermapen. There is a growing consensus that Infini is the best device for acne scars.
