Treatment Overview
INFINI RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge Korean dermatology treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling technology. Ultra-fine insulated needles penetrate into the dermis and deliver RF heat energy directly into targeted layers of skin, stimulating collagen production, elastin remodeling, and dermal tightening.
For enlarged pores, INFINI RF is especially effective as it contracts pore walls, strengthens dermal support, and improves skin texture, making pores look visibly smaller and smoother. It is widely used in Korea for patients with large pores, acne scars, and uneven texture.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Enlarged Pores family (Fractional CO₂ Laser, Carbon Laser Peel, Baby Botox, Aqua Peel, Exosome Therapy):
- INFINI RF Microneedling: Best for deep pore tightening + texture refinement.
- Fractional CO₂ Laser: Best for pore + acne scar resurfacing.
- Carbon Laser Peel: Best for oily skin + pore contraction.
- Baby Botox: Best for sebum-control pores.
- Exosome Therapy: Best for regenerative repair of pores.
Purpose & Benefits
- Pore Size Reduction: Tightens pore walls for smaller, refined pores.
- Collagen Stimulation: Activates fibroblasts to rebuild dermal density.
- Elasticity Boost: Improves skin firmness to prevent sagging pores.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths roughness, acne scars, and uneven skin.
- Oil Control: RF energy reduces excess sebum activity in pore-prone areas.
- Long-Term Improvement: Results build gradually and last over a year.
- Synergy with Other Treatments: Often combined with Exosomes or Hydro Injections for healing and hydration.

Recovery & Aftercare
