Infini RF Microneedling in Singapore

How Infini RF microneedling works

Fine insulated needles deliver RF energy at the exposed portion of the needle, creating local heating at the selected depth. The treatment aims to stimulate a gradual repair and remodelling response.

Depth and energy are adjusted for the area and goal. Insulation helps shape energy delivery; it does not mean the epidermis cannot be injured or that pigmentation and scarring are impossible. The general RF microneedling guide explains the category and its risks.

How I assess scars before recommending Infini

I distinguish broad depressions and textural changes from narrow pits, tethered scars and flat marks. Active acne is assessed separately because new inflammation can continue to produce new marks or scars.

Where a scar remains tethered, releasing it may be important. Where a pit is narrow and deep, a focal treatment may be more useful than simply adding broader RF sessions. The acne scar guide sets out the different approaches.

RF is sometimes considered for other skin-quality goals, but the same course should not be promised to treat scars, pigmentation and significant laxity equally. We agree on the concern being treated and how its response will be assessed.

Infini, Secret RF or a laser?

I provide Infini and Secret RF. When deciding between them for acne scars, I consider needle configuration, the treatment goal, skin response and tolerability. My Infini vs Secret RF comparison for acne scars explains how those considerations inform the choice.

A laser may have a different role in scar resurfacing. Neither the greatest stated needle depth nor a higher maximum generator output proves that a procedure is better. A useful comparison considers clinical outcomes, adverse effects and the patient’s actual scar pattern.

For the published scar-treatment evidence, see microneedling for acne scars.

What the treatment involves

Before treatment, we discuss the area, likely course, alternatives, recovery and cost. Tell me about medicines, recent procedures and any history of abnormal scarring or pigment changes. Current or recent isotretinoin use needs to be included in that discussion.

Skin preparation and topical anaesthetic are followed by treatment of the planned area. The depth and settings can vary across the face. A treatment appointment also needs time for preparation and aftercare; the time under the handpiece is only part of the visit.

Aftercare is tailored to the procedure. Follow the instructions for gentle cleansing, moisturising, sun protection and restarting active skincare, and avoid picking or scrubbing temporary roughness.

Sessions, recovery and results

I commonly discuss three to five Infini sessions around four to six weeks apart. The number and spacing depend on healing, the treatment goal and the response; a further session should have a clear purpose.

Redness, swelling, tenderness and temporary surface changes can follow treatment. Recovery is not identical for every area or setting, and it may take longer than expected in an individual patient.

Remodelling is gradual. We compare the skin over the agreed follow-up period rather than judge the final result from early swelling. A course can improve selected concerns but cannot guarantee complete scar removal or a permanent result.

Infini in darker skin

I often favour an insulated approach in suitable scar patients who pigment readily. I still assess previous pigment reactions, current inflammation and the thickness and condition of the treatment area.

Published RF research in darker skin reports useful outcomes alongside pigment changes and limitations in study quality. [1] This supports careful selection and counselling, not a promise that insulated treatment carries no risk.

Risks and when treatment needs to wait

Possible complications include burns, pigment change, infection and scarring. Reports involving RF microneedling also include fat loss and nerve injury with certain uses. [2]

Active infection, an uncontrolled skin flare, poor healing or other medical factors may change the timing or suitability. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, implants and relevant medicines require a specific assessment.

Contact the clinic if pain worsens, blisters develop, redness spreads, discharge appears, or sensation or facial contour changes unexpectedly. A concerning reaction should be reviewed before considering further treatment.

Infini RF microneedling price in Singapore

Infini treatment starts from S$1,888 before GST (S$2,057.92 including 9% GST). That is a package figure rather than a per-session fee. The final amount depends on the treatment area, the number of RF sessions and any accompanying procedures.

Please contact the clinic for an up-to-date quotation confirming the area, session count, inclusions and the total including GST and any separate charges. The number of treatments should follow the clinical plan rather than a fixed package.
