I treat my acne scars for a long time now, I did Fraxel 4 times 4 years ago (no improvement, only hiperpigmentation), and TCA peel 2 times last winter (visible improvement).
Yesterday I did Infini RF the first time, on cheeks.
The procedure was done in 3 passing, second was really painful, even had to take Tramal.
Right after you feel pain, excessive tightening, burning from inside. The skin looks red, swollen and it has holes from micro-needling with blood in them.
Two hours after I felt that my skin was covered with crust and it stays there now. Last photo from today shows the skin covered in cream but you can see crust patches I hope.

I had this done as well for acne scars. After 3 weeks I finally started to see a difference, but not until my 3rd treatment. I went to a med spa and they were very informative. Even though they said little to know downtime, they told me it doesn't mean that my face won't swell, redden, and peel. They said it may be like a really bad sunburn for a few days, but hopefully only 72 hrs. They also told me they would provide me with sunscreen that was all natural and to use it sparingly. They said if possible do not put anything on your face for at least 72hours (so 3 days). I listened and just used cold packs from my freezer to reduce the redness and pain. I did not even use the sunscreen. I went with the recommendation of buys the treatments in a set of 3 for a pretty big discount. However, if I had only bought one treatment I absolutely would not have returned for my 2nd. Only after the 3rd treatment and the full heal time of 4 weeks in between each treatment did I finally see results! My acne scars are not gone, but they are seriously diminished. In about a year I plan to go back and have another set of treatments. I started my first treatment in July this year and had my last treatment in September. I am very pleased with the results as I have spent a lot of money searching for something that actually worked.

I have had microneedling done quite a few times but not with RF, I never crusted over. Must be the RF....looks good and I am sure it will only improve with time!! Where I live they want $1,500 for one treatment.....can't do that. Happy you did it and posted about it.

Day 3. Crust and redness

Swissap
The skin is really damaged, crust and redness are still there. Got some acne, probably due to the thick cream I used.
Contraversary feelings. Such a deep damage is good because it'll give better results for scars (hopefully)) but what if it doesn't heal well and there will be marks caused by the procedure itself?

How is the recovery going? I am considering this treatment
December 19, 2016
8 days after I still have crusts, skin looks badly burnt. Areas with no crust are red. But no scarring from needles, the thing I was afraid most after consulting some feedbacks here. I think every skin reacts differently, so good luck))

and when did crust go away how many treatments did you have and what do u think
May 10, 2017
Crusts gone after Dalacin treatment, they were not connected to Infini itself but to the Staph infection I got after the treatment.
December 6, 2018
and then you recomend to do the infini?
December 28, 2018
Yes, I got unlucky with the first session but 4 treatments after went well. Combined Infini with PRP, the latter gave quicker healing (but also some minor discoloration). I would asses 50% improvement of my scars, they are not gone but less visible

Almost a week after

Swissap
Here are photos: one from 2 days ago with active acne and two from today. The camera doesn't catch how red the treated area is in comparison to the untreated one. Either something went really wrong or the information about 2-3 days downtime is false. I would recommend to get deep pore cleaning before the procedure because the latter can provoke break-outs as you can see)) I am relieved that Infini didn't leave any scarring from needles (as much as I can judge with crusts).

There was another from Switzerland that said the device was actually Secret. Is this Infini or Secret? Secret will have more downtime than Infini due to uninsulated needles. In the summer I will be in Switzerland to talk about the Infini.

I don't have a license to treat in Phili

My derm said it was Infini RF (but who knows?). She has been practicing it from February 2016. The downtime doesn't bother me much, I have a very sensitive skin and probably it's my personal reaction or wrong post care. The most important thing is the final result.

I think you've got a great result. Infini basically brought out those in active nodular underneath your skin. Bring them to active so your body can work on getting ride of them.

Thanks for suggestion) didn't think about it from this angle, you might be right actually)

Dr. Weiner, when will you be in Switzerland? Will you be able to treat patients with infini when you are in Switzerland? I would be interested in being treated by you.

The trip has been called off. Sorry. However, I wouldn't be able to treat in Switzerland. No license there.

That's too bad :( Do you know a qualified doctor in Europe who knows a lot about Infini RF? I am interested in getting this treatment for my acne scars.
