Infini RF for Acne Scars - My Journey - St Louis, MO

I have acne scars from cystic acne that I fought throughout my 20's and 30's with every ingestible and topical treatment known to man - with no avail. I had subsicion done 15 years ago that had subtle results. Now that breakouts are under control, I had a professional advise me that fractional lasers were my best bet. While researching fraxel repair, I happened upon Dr. Weiner and Dr. Lim's reviews and videos on Infini RF....and new research began!
After weeks of reading reviews and case studies and watching videos, I scheduled a consult with a highly rated institution.
I'm now two weeks post Infini RF round one. The treatment was a bit painful but tolerable. I figure 30 minutes of tolerable pain doesn't compare to 20 years of emotional pain.
Amanda applied a growth serum immediatly after and advised me not to do a thing to my face for 24 hours. There was redness and swelling and it felt like I had a sun burn. That all went away within 3 days. My skin also felt rough for about a week due to the micro scabs from the procedure. I was very gentle while cleansing as to not scrape any scabs. They were not visible.
I've seen very slight improvements in my scars..but I'm so excited in the progress. They say that after the third week through the sixth I will see the most improvement. I can't wait. This is not an overnight miracle...it takes patience....comparable to orthodontics....you don't wake up the next day after braces with straight teeth!! It takes time!
My current regimine consists of cetaphil cleanser then tretinoin cream (generic retin a) at night with cetaphil as moisturizer on top. In the morning I cleanse and apply vitamin c serum and more cetaphil moisturizer. I take hair and skin vitamins with collagen booster, as well as a multivitamin and vitamin c chewable. I'm eating and drinking clean and I quit smoking. I'm taking a holistic approach, as this is the most important and exciting advenute I have ever undertaken!!
Lastly, I have plans for TCA CROSS on the stubborn scars after this phase and have discussed subsicion with fillers and possibly an ablative peel to top things off. My goal is to be comfortable in my skin and to have this transition complete by the end of 2017! Round two is scheduled for 1-13-17. I'll be updating throughout my journey! :)

Well...here I am three weeks post round one of Infini RF with my update. I see a very small change in my scars. Some days I'm pumped because this is even happening..and some days I'm bummed because I want these dang scars off my face and its such a process. I was hoping to see a bit more of a difference by now, actually, but I'm glad I can at least see something.
Seems the retain a is making my skin shiny....will this go away? Man, I hope so! It did get very flaky and still is a bit and a bit red. I think it has made me break out a bit around my chin too.....could be the holiday treats as well! ;) I love how fresh and soft my skin feels but really don't like the shiny....at all.
I'm posting some pics from this evening compared to the night before my first procedure. Any comments? Can you see a difference? I need some non biased opinions. Can't wait till this journey is complete and I can enjoy my reflection!

I've been concerning myself with a certain doctor's negative reviews on here regarding infini and other "energy devices". He has had me doubting my decision on Infini RF. My progress pics this week, however, speak for themselves. I'm at my fourth week post round one and my results are starting to impress me. I certainly feel better this week about it all. What a journey. I'm very pleased so far!
I'm considering TCA CROSS between treatments to work on the deeper scars around my mouth and chin. Also looking into taking zink for my breakouts. I'm on retin a and this may be bringing things to the surface.
I hope Negative Nelly checks out my progress....maybe he has an agenda!?
Round 2 is next Friday the 13th.... I can't wait! :)
