Infini Microneedling represents an innovative procedure that administers radiofrequency energy through microneedles. This non-invasive treatment encourages enhanced collagen production, resulting in skin tightening and overall rejuvenation. Additionally, Infini Microneedling serves as a targeted solution for various skin concerns, including acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Infini Microneedling is versatile and effectively treats a wide spectrum of skin issues commonly associated with aging. It is most frequently employed to:
An Infini Microneedling session is typically swift, lasting under 20 minutes in most cases. Dr. Ringpfeil initiates the treatment by applying a topical numbing cream to ensure patient comfort. Subsequently, she gently pinches the skin and positions the device over the targeted area. The needles swiftly penetrate the skin, releasing radiofrequency (RF) energy. She continues moving the device across the skin until the entire area has been treated.
The Infini Microneedling applicator is equipped with numerous tiny needles that transmit RF energy directly into the patient’s dermis. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production in the area. Furthermore, RF energy heats the skin to a specific temperature, inducing dermal contracture and stimulating collagen production. Importantly, this energy is directed into the deeper skin layers, eliminating the risk of surface skin damage, often associated with other RF energy treatments.
Following the treatment, patients can immediately resume regular activities. Some may experience slight skin reddening and swelling, akin to a sunburn. A few patients may notice minor bruising that appears a few days later. These side effects naturally subside, and makeup can be applied after 24 hours to conceal any residual redness or bruising.
The results of Infini Microneedling manifest gradually over the following weeks and months. Within 2 to 4 weeks post-treatment, most patients observe improved skin tightness. As collagen production increases and healing progresses, the skin becomes firmer and more youthful. Targeted concerns such as scars and wrinkles become less prominent with time. To achieve an optimal result, patients may require up to four treatment sessions, spaced one month apart.
Infini Microneedling is suitable for individuals seeking to address specific skin concerns or desiring overall skin rejuvenation. Notably, this treatment is safe for individuals with darker skin tones, as it carries no risk of hyperpigmentation.
