Hi guys I haven't reviewed for a long time and its been over a year since my treatment.
My skin healed a lot bt it has never been the same. My skin has a rough appearance that i never had, I have more scars than i did in the first place so i actually look like i had acne as a child (which i never had) My skin had always been quite good and now I continuously have a congestion on my chin that breaks out and i can't wear any kind of makeup anymore except a tinted moisturiser as my PH levels are completely off and I get congestion ...It sucks and It upsets me but I am now too scared to do anything else so I have to live with this skin they created.
The women at the clinic gave me lots of free treatment to try and rectify but the damage has been done.

This may sound weird but I would probably get an Infini treatment but somewhere else. I’m seeing a lot of marked improvement for my scars and I have Asian skin which is harder to treat. I’m sorry this happened to you. I suffered through the same thing but from retinol which DESTROYED my skin. Made it look about 5 times worse than yours. But the Infini is slowly working. Stay positive, everything will resolve.

Reaching out to you because I'm going through the exact same thing and want to share what is helping me currently. I've had 2 hydra facials and a derma plane treatment and that has given me slight textural improvement. I am going to keep doing hydra facial every 2-4 weeks to help with overall skin health. I'm also on retina-a micro (.08). Hope this will help you too.

Thank you for sharing your story, I am no longer interested in getting this treatment because of it. I feel like the person who administered this treatment to you did not do it correctly. While I was only starting to learn about this treatment, I am wondering if they used needles intended for your body rather than your face? I know for other microneedle treatments, they have different size needles for either face or body. Have you consulted with anyone outside of the clinic that treated you? In any case, thank you again for sharing this helpful information.

I had a very similar reaction to infini. It has been 1.5 years and I still have some hyperpigmentation left from the laser. I still feel like you can see needle marks. Thanks for sharing your story. Unfortunately there seems to only be a handful of us who had a negative experience. I have been recommded microneedling without a laser by a plastic surgeon but I’m too scared.

My skin has permanant damage and I have lost confidence in mysekf

Daniellewithsoreskin
I've never had acne, since the lasers I have constant pimples. My skin is scarred permanently and I have now lost the confidence to go bare faced. I'm only 30 and now after 15 years of modelling I have no confidence
I hate that they haven't contacted me to see how I'm going I also hate that responsibility wasn't taken and I'm left with damage on my face. It's disgusting that the place I went to hasn't offered more care. I'm now furious at the results. There was one practitioner who was very kind about my situation but in general, I'm disgusted that they allowed this to happen to me. I want to sue. They obviously can't fix my skin so I've now ruined my confidence forever by listening to their suggestions for infini in the first place.
It's been 4 months! I have deep scars inside and out. Not good enough.

I am so sorry that you are hurting but honey, you are a beauty!!!!! What you see and what others see are two different things. I think that time will heal....
January 21, 2017
I'm so sorry Danielle! I was planning to do it as a pre-wedding treatment but now scared! Where did you do your treatment? I hope it gets better soon!!
January 23, 2017
dont do it :(
I went to a very good place that I had been a client of of rover 5 years....I trusted them
April 5, 2017
Yes, don't do it. I did it and I regretted. It only made the skin worse and you get scar... Very, very bad scarring....in which, u don't even have in the 1st place. And u r left in a position to attempt to heal the new badly formed scarring.
January 21, 2017
I am sorry you are going through this. I had a very similar treatment and it took a long time for my skin to heal. 6 months of bland skin products and a great dermatologist are producing great results. Sending you a hug and hoping you find a dermatologist who can help you heal. You are a beautiful lady.

I have been studying mindfulness, and one of the best things you can do for your mind is to have faith and courage...believe that you will heal and focus on other success stories. It looks like people who are reading your story are still considering doing it and weirdly enough so am I. Do you believe that there are in fact doctors who might be skilled, like Dr. Weiner, who is quite well known for Infini or do you feel that the technology is flawed and too risky? For example, the permanent needle holes, are they something that you feel is likely to happen no matter what? If you could turn back time, would you have done more research and tried someone who has a proven track record? Stay strong, and a big hug to you too. You are beautiful and you will see that again one day soon.

Thanks goodness the Gensis has improve your skin! You look amazing again! But that Dr needs his head examined to take any risk on someones face. I hope you warn as many people as possible. Big Hugs!

I'm sorry, summer where does it say the genesis improved her skin?

Genesis

Daniellewithsoreskin
So I have had about 6 Genesis. When I get hot or exercise all the indentation marks from the needle come up and I look disgusting.
I don't know what to do now, I was modelling for 15 years and now I don't like not wearing foundation to cover up the redness. I regret this treatment so much and feel upset that someone has ruined my skin. I'm only thirty but my skin looks older now... I also now have so much pigmentation which was never as severe...
Genesis is meant to heal the skin.
Someone said that the laser can take away plumpness- isn't it meant to do the opposite? That was why I got infini laser in the very first place, they told me it improves texture... Well I now have texture which never existed...
So upset still

Redness is best treated with the Excel V laser. I would see Dr. Lim in Brisbane about this.
January 19, 2017
Will this situation happen if I receive an infini RF from Dr. Lim? I'm scared after reading this review and replies.
January 20, 2017
DONT do it!!!
January 20, 2017
Why?
January 20, 2017
Did you receive this treatment from Dr. Lim?
February 1, 2017
I am in Melbourne and went to one of the best places here that I have been a client at for over 8 years.... You will regret it but its your face.
December 28, 2016
Don't listen to these doctors. They just want your money and have no clue what they are talking about. Stop doing lasers before it gets worse please.
December 29, 2016

In order to heal, you need to heal from the inside...your skin cells need to regenerate. Please consume Sodium, Potassium and Calcium...lots of spinach, kale and lentils. Doctors will ask you to spend more money on lasers and treatments...resist that quick fix tempatation which got you in trouble the first time. Use Skin Medica Recovery and moisturizer. See how that feels in 2-4 weeks then if that strategy works, stick with it and only consider mild lasers once skin has had a chance to recover naturally. Thank you for sharing your story.

thank you for this reveiw! you have saved my skin. i was booked in for a treatment infini but i have cancelled as i tried a derma roller at home with disatorous consquences. my face has never recovered. i thought doing infini might fix it but i believe that we are some of the very few that respond badly to micro needling of our skin. thank you Danielle. i wish you all the best in your recovery xx
