Ruined my skin

Geez, you poor thing - I thought I was the only one, but I had exactly the same experience. It took a long time for my skin to clear. There is permanent scarring - it looks like faint train tracks on my skin - which can luckily only be seen when under overhead light though. One thing that helped me get back to (almost) normal was a few Sculptra treatments. This also helps with sagginess. Also, once my skin was healed, I started doing my own microneedling with human growth factors; that really helped with the scars, my skin looks radiant Hang in there - the additional sagginess is caused by the inflammation and should get back to normal once you‘re healed. Wishing you all the very best!!!

It took 2 months for my skin to get back to normal but I thought it was worth the wait. The infini tightened up my neck skin and got rid of the fine lines around my mouth. I was and still am pleased with the results a year and a half later. The first 2 months were freaky though.

How is your skin now?

I am going through this now, it's been a nightmare because I scar so easily, Did you have red patchy parks past day 7? I have blotchy red patches everywhere. What skincare did you use and antibiotics? I've been so so upset over this breakout infini gave me. any advice to speed up the healing would be much appreciated!

I normally don’t post anything but I wanted to share my experience. I am about 10 days past my second genius RF treatment. The first one was horrible recovery and I almost didn’t go back for number 2. I never break out but I do mark and scar easily. The settings were a little too high and it took me about two weeks to even slough off those “coffee grounds”. I had bad bad bad bad white pustules all over my chin and I was freaking out. I did get better but it was way more downtime than I expected. At about day 3-4, I compounded my own cream in my hand. I used a little less than a pea size drop of differin, a pea size drop of cortisone 10 and about a dime sized drop of la roche posay Toleriane once at night. During the day I used a small amount of cortisone 10 mixed with toleriane. I only needed to do this for a few days and then it was straight Toleriane moisturizer. When I got to about week 3, I was able to use skinceuticals CE Ferulic in the am followed by their hyaluronic in the am and pm. It literally took me about 4-5 weeks to get back to “normal” and I could still see a few pigment marks. I wasn’t going to go back but I asked if the settings could be lower and was told yes. I expected to have issues still though just because the first was so bad. Lower settings must have been helpful because I didn’t have anything near the first experience. I did not touch my face the first 24 hours and next day I gently cleansed and used Toleriane twice a day. By day three I could use skinceuticals CE ferulic and have not had any issues. I maybe got two teeny tiny little whiteheads on my chin-that’s it. I have super super sensitive skin and I think the genius gives an amazing result, but I think sometimes the default settings may be too much. I can still see a big difference even though I did not “suffer” as much the second time. I’m on track for number three at the four week mark.
