Hello pll. This is my first review ????. I had acne since I was 19 years old. I used a lot of expensive products,(proactiv, Murad, neutrogena, miracle masks, creams, and nothing. But 2 years ago I saw this miracle cheap product in Internet and bye bye acne. It's the regiment. But i replaced the benzoil cream at night for retin A, my another miracle cream for acne, scars and wrinkles, yes its a miracle cream for wrinkles. Now im just got pimples when I get my period but not like before. So the acne caused scars on my cheeks . It made me feel bad and embarrassed. I decided to get any procedure for it. I have my appointment on Thursday at 1:00pm for infini precedure. The doctor office is very clean, and the staff very professional. I was looking for co2 procedure but the Dr told me that this procedure could make hipermentation, some pll is not a good candidate for this. It could be worse and darker skin. So that's why I choiced infini the which is for all tipe of skin...let see what happen and bye bye scars ????. Dr said 2 procedure will be fine. He said I don't need more that 2 on whole my face, it's just on my cheeks. I look beforr another Dr and he will charge me $4,600 for 3 procedure in whole the face???? that's very expensive cause my new Dr said I don't have to expend more $$$ if the problem is just on my cheeks. At that moment I trust him.????

Hi there, I am so glad that you decided to document your journey here on RealSelf — I wish you much success. To confirm you're having the Infini RF procedure this Thursday? What strength Retin-A are you using?

I'm using the 0.05% right now, I started with the 0.025% and the transition went well, and my skin tolerates the Retin-A better the longer I use it. I really like to use a mineral water spray, so soothing.

I'm thinking buy the level 0.05% but I'm gonna wait a month after the infini and finish the 0.025% hehe. Cause it's very expensive but my uncle is gonna bring me a couple 0.050% from mexico cause they r $25
