INFINI, A new technology clinically proven
to increase collagen production in
the skin, is now available at Skin Renu.
Caitlin Bishop reports.
Skin Renu laser and skin clinic in Balmain, Sydney has an all-encompassing
approach to anti-ageing treatments. It provides patients with an
individualised program of non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments and,
in keeping with its commitment to effective, minimally invasive therapies, has
recently introduced the Infini system.
The Infini system, produced by Lutronic, has been touted to achieve ‘3D
volumisation’. It combines micro-needling and radiofrequency (RF) energy to
promote collagen production, tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles
and scars. The team at Skin Renu have been impressed with the results: patients
are seeing a noticeable change in their skin with very little downtime.
‘Only one week after the treatment, I started noticing a difference in my skin,’
explains Sylvia, a member of the Skin Renu team who has personally undergone
treatment with Infini. ‘I wasn’t expecting any change so soon, as I know Infini
works by stimulating your body’s own collagen, which takes a while to kick in,
and yet my skin looked and felt better sooner than anticipated.’
‘I love wearing foundation, but since my treatment I haven’t needed it as my
skin looks even and has a real radiance to it all on its own. I’m really happy with
the results – all this with really minimal downtime as the mild redness is easily
covered with regular makeup,’ she adds.
The Infini harnesses the body’s natural healing processes to cause a
change in the skin. It uses gold-plated micro-needles to deliver RF energy to
specific layers in the dermis. This creates fractionated columns of coagulation –
controlled thermal damage – generating a tightening effect. The thermal columns
also trigger a healing response in the dermis to boost collagen production and
vascularity. This regeneration is a gradual process that leaves the skin healthier,
tighter and more resilient in the weeks following treatment.
The treatment is performed layer by layer, targeted at different points in the
dermis. The practitioner controls the needle depth and energy levels depending
on the patient’s needs and skin condition.
