FAQ'S of the INFINI

What Is INFINI laser?
The Infini is a high intensity focused, radio-frequency, fractional micro-needling system, that delivers radio-frequency through insulated micro-needles. The Infini induces the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro “injuries” in the skin, which triggers new collagen synthesis, while Radio-frequency tightens the skin. The Infini is used to tighten loose, sagging skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and scars, and improves the overall texture of the skin.

How long does an appointment for an INFINI treatment take?
The exact time depends on the area that is being treated, but typically an Infini treatment can take up to two hours or less to complete. This timeframe includes an additional 30 minutes for topical numbing to be applied prior to treatment.

How is an Infini treatment administered?
Infini procedures are performed in a safe and precise manner with the use of a the handheld INFINI system and a sterile needle head. The Infini is gently pressed into the skin, which delivers radio-frequency deep into the dermis through the 49 microscopic needle tips.

Does the Infini treatment hurt?

The Infini needle tips are microscopic; However, the Infini treatment can cause some discomfort and has been said to feel like a pricking sensation with some heat. Areas with deeper imperfections may cause more discomfort than areas with superficial imperfections.

When will I begin to see results from my Infini treatment?
Generally, patients notice tightening, and a more even tone to their skin, a week or two after their first session. For areas with deeper imperfections, results can be subtler, and additional treatments are usually required. Since Micro-needling stimulates new collagen and elastin production, these results will continue to build for up to 6 months. Tightening after your procedure will also continue to build up to 6 months.

How long do results from Infini results last?
It is important to realize that we cannot stop the aging process, we can only slow it down. With this in mind, results are not considered permanent, as natural degradation will occur over time.
