I have dilated pores, icepick & boxcar scarring. Finished Accutane 2 mo ago- now looking into scar treatments. What should my plan be? TCA Cross or Infini first? Are my scars deep/narrow enough for TCA? Can I do it w/ a toothpick w/ caution? What %? For RF needling, does it matter whether it's Infini/Intracel? Intracel is by a more experienced Dr. Should I treat full face or only target areas? Can I treat my undereye? Are there better alternatives for my issues? When do I start topical Vit A?
I had an Infini treatment 4 days ago for tightening the skin on my neck and my face. The swelling ,bruising and redness are improving, but I have noticed that the skin under my chin look more saggy than before the treatment, and when I touch the skin in that area it feels very soft, loose, shaky, just not as firm as it was before. When I walk around I can actually feel that skin moving around like nothing is holding it. Is this a normal reaction? Will it get better?
I had INFINI done 6 days ago. 2 days after treatment i developed several whiteheads and pimples. The swelling is gone but the redness is still present, almost like a bruise, and feels like im developing more pimples. is this the normal course? the PA told me to just put warm compress and whiteheads should resolve. Is this correct?
I completed a round of Infini micro needling 5 days ago and have scabs, redness and some areas have hyper pigmentation occurring. I am applying Alastin and moisturizer daily but am not seeing significant improvement. The scabs are essentially track marks/grid marks from where needling occurred. Is it normal to have scabs and redness for this many days? Can I apply any other topical creams to accelerate recovery? Will this happen during follow up procedures?
6 days ago I had Infini RF to treat mild acne scaring in two areas the size of a nickel located in my upper cheek bone region (the rest of my skin was fine). The settings used for all areas of the face shown in the photo were: 1st pass 3.5 Level3 300ms shots:220 2nd pass 3.0 Level3 300ms shots:248 3rd pass 2.5 Level3 300ms shots:225 For each pass, the shots were one after another. There was a 5 second break when turning from one side of my face to the other, a 20 sec break between each pass
I am a 47 year old female with fair skin. I stay out of the sun and have a great home daily skincare routine. I noticed the skin on my neck was mildly saggy so chose the Infini RF treatment to firm it up a bit. I did one treatment .The doctor gave me 2 IPL treatments which helped with the redness and Ive been using a 2% hydroquinone serum which is improving the hyperpigmentation but the vertical striated marks/scars remain. Help! I cant wear turtlenecks forever!!!
I had infiny done on my cheeks 3 days back. Bt still the face looks red and tiny tiny pimples on it. Also a grid is formed on my face. Im worried when my face will look clean and this redness fades away as im gng to have function after a week.
I am very keen to go through the INFINI as it should have min. downtime such as redness and swelling but aft running through the forum, I read many cases of long down time for redness and swelling and permanent grid marks. - what caused them? Are the above effects preventable? - when can one start putting on makeup? - how long does it take for redness and swelling to go away? - are the above negative side effects common? Thank you.
