I am hoping to reduce acne scarring and maybe tighten laxity of face. Also have lost enough weight to need some plumping where fat loss has occured. I'll upload my before pic' s before I get my first treatment. I thought loosing some weight would make me look younger..who'd of thought the fat loss would make me look older! Lol

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Major weight loss made my scars look so bad, and now I have some loose skin (my neck looks so much better after Infini and I really wasn't targeting that area). I've had 3 Infini treatments and have had some progress. I only had my last one a week ago so I'm still waiting for results. How many treatments are you planning? Is that cost a package price? Keep us posted on your journey, it's a bit of a roller coaster if you ask me - but should be worth it in the end! :)

Thank you for your comments and support. I am going to post pre- procedure pics this weekend..ugh..and yes, it is for a three treatment package. But doesn't include neck;(..that would have been $4,500..

I'm hoping you get some good results. I had 4 Infini treatments (last one was a month ago) and I am seeing some subtle improvements. Your results may be different but I believe that there's a delayed gratification with this procedure because it takes a long time for new collagen/elastin to develop. I'm hoping that I will continue to improve in the next 5 months or so.

Hi. Thanks for your well wishes! I had one rejuvapen treatment on April 29th, and my family says they see 25% improvement on my many ice pick scars, so I thought Infini rf would be a good choice. Getting nervous about whether. I made right decision as i read that most improvements are minimal. I have many shallow ice pick scars, which I have read Tca cross would work best, but can't find anyone in Tacoma/Seattle area that uses the method?.Anyway, good luck! And keep me posted on ur Infini rf progress, as will I.

I'm not trying to defer you from Infini, because I'm seeing results with mine, especially after the third treatment. I'm waiting to make sure my swelling is completely gone and then the few months for collagen remodel before I asses it completely! However, I have what I thought were tiny icepick scars from breakouts by my lips, one doc called them enlarged pores, that really haven't changed from Infini. I'm starting TCA CROSS this coming Friday to see if they respond. I had to call and visit many to find someone willing to try - or knew what it was. Turns out the office doing my Infini treatments do it regularly! Good luck with your treatments. I hope you get the results you are looking for.

KRae76 I forgot to mention. When I had my rejuvapen microneedling done on April 29th, the esthetician used a toothpick to insert 30% Tca in some of my ice pick scars. The ones she did showed 25 to 35% improvement in depth! Let me know how it goes. I daydream that i fly to Australia and stay for several months, just to have Dr Lim treat my scars!...;)

Wouldn't that be nice. If you figure out how to accomplish that, let me know! lol. I do have faith in my current doctor and esthetician. She's going to take close-ups before TCA CROSS, so I'll be able to post progress! And I know the pics are nerve-wrecking to share - raw and vulnerable!

I was a little in doubt on whether Infini would be the right choice for you since you primarily mentioned ice pick scars in your previous posts. But after seeing these photos I think Infini will definitely help, especially with your right cheek. Straight micro needling and TCA cross tend to be the go to methods for ice pick scars, but I'm sure you'll see improvements on all scars from Infini. Be sure to load up on healthy foods, and vitamin a/c and growth factors if you got them. Don't use Retin-A for at least a week after you've had your procedure.

keikun, thank you for your support. I will make sure to get the A/C, and growth factor u mentioned. And thanks also for mentioning not to use the retain A..I wasn't aware, and use it nightly.

Good luck with improving your scarring. Interested in your outcome. Infini seems to be the way forward.

Wanted to wait on reviewing my experience with Thermiva, as I have read several reviews stating tightening results were from temporary swelling of tissues. Have had two of three Thermiva treatments, and look forward to #3 on 8/8. Not sexually active ( with a partner).. yet;), but can tell u sensitivity is much better, and orgasmic response,.. Amazing!.. Vaginal canal is plumper and tighter, and more lubricated. I want to mention that although I did not seek treatment for mild rectocele ( thinning of skin between rectum and vagina which makers for evacuation issues;(.. I am elated that with Thermiva, I have zero issues now!;)..menopause really sucks!, but Thermiva is a game changer for me!. I feel like a teenager in the vag department;).. Happy camper!;)
