Micro needling for skin rejuvenation. This procedure also treats upper lip wrinkles and smoker's lines.
Upper lip lines, smoker’s creases and wrinkles, and sun damaged skin can be treated with lasers, fillers, BOTOX or a new device called INFINI microneedling radiofrequency.

Upper lip wrinkles with sun damage that involves the middle to deep layers of the skin respond best to INFINI microneedling radiofrequency. This treatment uses state of the art insulated microneedles that delivers energy in the form of radiofrequency to remodel collagen, rejuvenate the skin, diminish wrinkles, open pores and even surgical and acne scars. Unlike lasers such as Fraxel, CO2 Fractional, ProFractional, Halo, Pixel or Portrait, microneedling spares the upper layers of the skin, and delivers controlled energy into the dermal layers. What does this mean for the patient?

1. INFINI microneedling radiofrequency treatment gives a much faster healing time than even the best fractional lasers. INFINI is a form of fractional skin rejuvenation, but unlike lasers, the energy is not absorbed on the skin- its delivered deep into the skin, beneath the epidermis. Most of my patients are treated on a Friday afternoon, or Saturday morning, and they are right for work on Monday. INFINI really is a minimal downtime procedure. As a guide, if I were to perform Fraxel Fractional laser resurfacing, recovery will be at least 5 days.

2. INFINI works much better than conventional microneedling. This is because it delivers energy (controlled heating) with insulated needles. The delivery system can target areas up to 3.5 mm deep. Additionally, I can adjust INFINI to treat different depths. For upper lip treatments, I typically deliver 2 passes at 3- 3.5 mm followed by another 2-3 passes at 2.0-2.5 mm. This means the upper lip area has approximately 5,000 micro channels (much like skin needling channels- but accurately placed in different depths, with the added benefit of radiofrequency heating).

3. Depending on the severity of sun damage, wrinkle depth, and extent of upper lip smoker’s lines, 2-4 sessions are needed for optimal outcomes.


For those who really want to understand this revolutionary technology, it is the way INFINI microneedles that gives this device such flexibility to tailor treatments according to skin conditions such as wrinkles, skin laxity, open pores, blackheads, scars, neck and chest rejuvenation and overall 3- dimensional facial rejuvenation.

Skin needle insulation is part of the answer- this means the upper layers of skin are spared from energy (heat), and only the deeper layers are treated. This means very little of the energy is loss on the surface (the opposite is true for fractional lasers). Now, here is the technical side of things- a good machine can also be flexible in the energy delivery – INFINI allows me to adjust the energy levels at different depths, and also what is known as the pulse duration- meaning the length of heating. The longer the pulse duration the more collagen stimulation will be achieved- this in turn translates to shallower upper lip and smoker’s lines.

What else do I do with INFINI? Depending on the amount of superficial sun damage on the upper lip and surrounding skin, I sometimes combine this treatment with 1927 FRAXEL. Remember, Fraxel 1927- 1550 is best for more superficial problems such as skin pigmentation, melasma, and shallow acne scars. Lately I have been combining PRP or platelet rich plasma with INFINI. The logic behind this is that skin needling – microneedling has already given me over 5,000 micro channels to deliver collagen stimulating growth factors, cytokines, and stem cells. Combining PRP and INFINI microneedling gives both better results with the added bonus of quicker recovery times.

For patients that want that extra dermal hydration I often perform Restylane or Juvederm Volbella to treat fine lines after a course of Infini Microneedling sessions.


I often get asked the question, will microneedling or skin rolling with ebay and amazon kits deliver the same result? The answer is no. Home skin rollers- Derma Rollers and Dermapen can improve wrinkles, scars and skin laxity, but not to the degree of insulated energy devices such as INFINI.
