How does Genius RF treat acne scars, and why is it better than fractional laser?
INFINI, now Genius RF, treats acne scars through a process called MFR or micro needling fractional radiofrequency. This system uses fine needles to puncture the skin and deliver heat to break down scars that lie deep under your skin. Remember, acne scars lie UNDER your skin, and the aim of treatment is to spare the upper layers of skin (epidermis) and target collagen 1-3.4 mm under the surface.When treating acne scars results following Genius RF are better than Fraxel laser, with faster recovery time.
Fractional, and fully ablative lasers, all work by treating the upper layers before delivering heat to the acne scars. This results in prolonged healing times and redness following laser therapy. Genius RF microneedling does not treat the upper layers, and concentrates the energy where acne scars lie.
Remember, not all acne scars are suitable for Genius RF treatment, and some scars such as box-car scars respond best to fully ablative lasers. Genius RF is best for atrophic, mixed and rolling acne scars. Ice pick scars are not to be treated with Genius RF and markedly atrophic scars are best treated with Bellafill.

As with all fractional devices, you will require between 2-4 sessions for optimal outcomes. You will notice an improvement with just one treatment.
