Infini RF Microneedling for Acne Scars

Yes, for rolling and boxcar scars on brown skin. In an Asian study using insulated needles, doctors rated scars about 58% better at six months, with no new dark marks. If you mainly have flat red or brown marks, not dents, a picosecond laser suits you better.

You feel heat and pricking with each pulse, more over bony areas. Numbing cream makes it manageable for most people, and the needles are very fine. Afterwards your face feels warm and tight, like mild sunburn, for a few hours.

Skin starts to look smoother within a few weeks, and the deeper scar change follows as new collagen builds across the course. The clearest improvement shows about three months after your final session.

The collagen that fills your scars is your own, so the improvement is long-lasting. Keeping breakouts under control protects it, since new acne can leave new scars, and some people book a top-up session later as skin ages.

Yes, when a trained doctor sets the depth and energy. Expect redness for a day or two, mild swelling and faint grid marks. In one study, 5 of 31 patients had temporary darkening that faded. Serious problems are rare in trained hands.

Rolling and boxcar scars respond really well, and most people have a mix. For narrow, deep ice-pick scars, your doctor pairs Infini with a targeted scar treatment, such as a TCA peel for acne scars, to get the most from both.

Microneedling for acne scars uses needles alone to start skin repair, which suits milder, shallower scarring. Infini adds radiofrequency heat at the needle tips and reaches deeper, up to 3.5 mm, which helps deeper scars. Your doctor will advise after examining you.

Fractional CO2 lasers can give a slightly stronger scar result, but at a cost: a review of eight trials found they hurt more, kept skin red for longer and raised the chance of dark patches more than fourfold. Your doctor weighs your skin type and downtime.

Yes, both are forms of RF microneedling. Morpheus8 is InMode’s version, while Infini comes from Lutronic: its insulated needles release heat beneath each scar, so fresh collagen forms. We use Infini, and your result depends on the depths chosen and your doctor’s skill.

Most people need three or four, four to six weeks apart. In one study, four sessions six weeks apart improved moderate and severe scars by one or two grades. Very deep scarring can take a session or two more.

Yes, if you plan ahead. Start about six months before, so a full course and the collagen building after it fit in. Keep your final session at least four to six weeks before the day, so redness and grid marks have settled.
