Infini RF Microneedling for Pigmentation

Yes, if you have melasma together with dull, rough texture, or pigment that flares easily after lasers: it lightens patches and smooths skin in one treatment. For freckles, sun spots or clear brown marks, our freckles and pigmentation treatment is a better fit.

It feels like warm prickling, and numbing cream goes on first. Settings for pigmentation are gentler and shallower than for deep acne scars, and in melasma studies people rated pain at just 2 to 4 out of 10.

Your skin often looks brighter and smoother within weeks. Melasma lightens over two or three monthly sessions, and your doctor compares photos to track your progress before deciding whether you need more.

That depends on your triggers. Melasma is long-term and often returns with sun, hormones or stress. Studies followed people for up to six months, and daily sunscreen and maintenance sessions keep patches lighter for longer.

Yes, in trained hands, and it is a popular choice for brown skin because the heat doesn’t target pigment. Expect redness for hours to a few days. Across melasma studies, new dark patches after RF microneedling were uncommon.

No treatment can promise that, but RF microneedling lightens melasma for many people and works best alongside sunscreen and prescribed creams. Most of this research used similar RF devices. Expect patches that look clearly lighter, with top-ups to keep them that way.

A picosecond laser targets pigment itself, so it suits freckles, sun spots and many brown marks. Infini works on the deeper skin and texture, with a lower risk of dark marks. Some plans use both, at different visits.

Same technology, different maker. Morpheus8 is InMode’s brand of RF microneedling; Infini, made by Lutronic, likewise sends radiofrequency heat through insulated needles into the deeper skin to build new collagen. We use Infini, and for melasma your doctor’s gentle, shallow settings matter most.

Yes, acne scars are where Infini has its strongest evidence. If dents from old acne bother you more than colour, see Infini RF for acne scars. For the treatment in general, see Microneedling RF.

Yes, and it often is. Studies paired RF microneedling with low-dose laser toning, tranexamic acid or lightening creams, and the combinations lightened melasma more than one treatment alone. Your doctor plans the order and spacing.

Yes, with a little planning, as melasma lightens over months. Start three to four months ahead so a short course fits in, book your final session at least three weeks before the day, and protect your skin from the sun right up to it.
