INFINI is a Fractional Microneedling Radio Frequency (RF) skin resurfacing treatment for acne scars. The treatment works by using a device that delivers radiofrequency energy through the needles into the skin. As each pin breaks down the skin layer, it helps to produce more collagen and provides heat energy to the deep layers of the skin.
Since scars have different depths, the level of energy that will be used by the specialist will be based on the severity of the scar and the thickness of the skin. Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling (INFINI) uses two technologies to treat acne scars:
Radiofrequency (RF)
Responsible for the delivery of radiofrequency energy to the deeper skin layers. The procedure for Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling (INFINI) doesn’t just only treat the top layer of the skin. With the use of microneedling, heat energy is able to reach the dermis or the second layer of the skin. Collagen growth and elastic production are further encouraged through the multiple passing of radiofrequency energy at different depths into the skin, giving a three-dimensional volumization view of the scar.
Microneedling
The needles used during the Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling (INFINI) treatment allows RF energy to flow directly in the dermis which produces more collagen and protects the epidermis, or the top layer of the skin. This microneedling technique helps to deliver heat energy from in a short period of time – helping to reduce skin trauma and improve patient’s comfort.
When both of these technologies are combined into one treatment, you’ll get both the benefit deliverance of RF and microneedling known as Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling (INFINI).
