Treatment Overview
Infini RF Laser is a microneedling radiofrequency (RF) system widely offered in Korean dermatology clinics for acne scars, skin tightening, and texture improvement.
Unlike traditional fractional lasers that work from the skin surface, Infini RF uses insulated microneedles to deliver RF energy directly into the dermis. This dual action stimulates collagen production, elastin remodeling, and scar tissue release with minimal surface damage, making it safe for Asian skin prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
In Korea, Infini RF is often used for moderate to severe acne scars, especially rolling and boxcar scars, and is frequently combined with subcision, PRP, PDRN, or exosomes to maximize regeneration.
Purpose & Benefits
- Scar Remodeling: Reduces depth of rolling and boxcar scars.
- Collagen Induction: RF energy stimulates fibroblast activity for long-term scar repair.
- Texture Refinement: Improves pore size and smoothness.
- Skin Tightening: Firms lax skin while resurfacing scars.
- Minimal Downtime: Safer than ablative lasers with quicker recovery.
- Safe for Asian Skin: Lower PIH risk compared to CO₂ lasers.
Ideal Candidates
Infini RF Laser in Korea is recommended for:
- Patients with moderate to severe acne scars (rolling, boxcar, and mixed).
- Individuals with enlarged pores or uneven skin texture.
- Those seeking long-lasting scar improvement without aggressive ablative resurfacing.
- Patients with Asian or sensitive skin prone to pigmentation issues.
- Individuals who want both scar treatment and skin tightening benefits.
Possible Risks & Complications
This treatment is safe when performed by experienced dermatologists, but mild effects may include:
- Redness & Swelling (2–3 days).
- Pinpoint Bleeding during treatment.
- Mild Bruising or Dryness during healing.
- Rare PIH – significantly reduced with Korean aftercare protocols.
Surgical Techniques Used
- Infini RF Device: Delivers radiofrequency energy via gold-plated microneedles at adjustable depths (0.5–3.5 mm).
- Fractional RF Delivery: Targets dermis directly while sparing epidermis.
- Custom Energy Settings: Adjusted to scar type and skin sensitivity.
- Combination Care: Often paired with subcision, PRP, PDRN, or exosomes in Korean protocols.
Protocol: Typically 2–4 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
Recovery & Aftercare
Immediately: Redness, mild swelling, and pinpoint marks from needles.
2–3 Days: Redness subsides; makeup can usually be worn.
1–2 Weeks: Noticeable texture refinement and reduced pore size.
1–6 Months: Ongoing collagen remodeling improves scar depth and skin firmness.
Aftercare Tips:
- Avoid makeup for 24 hours post-procedure.
- Use hydrating, soothing creams and gentle cleansers.
- Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and strong acids for 5–7 days.
- Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation.
Results & Longevity
- After 1 Session: Smoother texture, tighter skin.
- After 2 Sessions: Visible improvement in scar depth and pore size.
- After 3–4 Sessions: Significant long-term remodeling and firm, clear skin.
- Longevity: Results last 2–3 years, with maintenance sessions every 12–18 months.
