superfi cially, via superfi cial factional radiofrequency (SFR). This three-dimensional
approach helps reinforce the skin’s structure, leading to a fi rmer and more
youthful complexion.
Superficial and deep skin rejuvenation
Gold-coated microneedles deliver RF energy into the dermis during Infi ni
treatment. This causes controlled areas of coagulation, or tissue shrinkage, and
triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen production
without damaging the skin’s superfi cial layers.
Importantly, the microneedles can be adjusted to target different depths,
affording a comprehensive and tailored treatment protocol. The use of
microneedles further stimulates collagen production in the dermis, improving
skin tone, structure and texture.
Alongside MFR, the SFR technology delivers thermal energy via two channels
to penetrate both the epidermis and the dermis. The unique dual channels of
SFR noninvasively deliver RF energy to the epidermis and superfi cial dermis.
This has a synergistic effect, resulting in luminous skin and controlled tightening.
This unique amalgamation of technologies causes a comprehensive and
three-dimensional change in the skin. Typically, new collagen fi bres begin to form
four weeks after treatment, with results showing within 10 weeks.
The treatment itself usually takes around 40 minutes to complete, with the
starting energy level and needle depth selected according to the patient’s skin
condition. Levels are usually adjusted with each pass of the handpiece to the
face. csbm
