Nano Needling Treatment
|
This treatment creates nano channels in the skin allowing for 100% more absorption of skin products. It is non-invasive and painless and allows for active ingredient to penetrate the skin. It does this while stimulating collagen and elastin to repair the damage from sun, dehydration as well as hyper-pigmentation, poor skin texture and uneven skin tone, wrinkles scarring and acne conditions. Truly a revolutionary treatment. Based on your skin's needs a blend of serums and modalities will be added for the most powerful results.
What To Expect: The day after the skin will feel slightly sun or wind burned and there may be some light pink lines that typically fade within 24 hrs and may easily be covered with tinted sunscreen . |

Micro Needling and Collagen Induction Treatment
Micro needling is based on the use of tiny needles to create micro channels in the skin. The process stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal itself and in the process produces collagen and elastin. This repair process begins almost immediately and results in a thicker dermis and softened wrinkles or scars. It has been proven to be one of the best treatments for face and body to:
Fading acne scars
Reducing the appearance of other scars and stretch marks
Reduce wrinkles
Increase vitality and youthfulness of the skin
It also improves the clinical health of your skin by creating a rejuvenation cascade that your body already has. You will experience an immediate and permanent improvement in skin tone, texture, laxity, fine lines and wrinkles.

INFINI Radio Frequency Microneedling
What is INFINI?
INFINI is a new dimension in radiofrequency (RF) technology used to address sagging skin, wrinkles, skin textural changes as well as acne scarring. It uses a 3-dimensional approach of delivering RF energy to create tissue volumization
How does INFINI work?
INFINI combines fractional radiofrequency technology with microneedling. As opposed to other radiofrequency platforms that treat the skin from the outside in, INFINI uses flow needle technology to deliver RF where it needs to be – the dermis. The dermis, our second layer of the skin, contains collagen – the supporting structure of our skin. By delivering heat energy from RF to the dermis, INFINI encourages collagen growth and tissue tightening precisely at predetermined depths in the skin. The result is a little to no downtime, nearly painless procedure that can greatly improve wrinkling, scars, and skin laxity.
What is Radiofrequency (RF) technology?
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is sometimes compared to radio waves because they both occur at the same frequency. However, RF is essentially electrical energy. RF technologies used in the skin deliver this electrical energy into the skin, heating the targeted area. The intended target is collagen. Collagen must be heated to approximately 60 degrees Celsius to produce new collagen and subsequent tissue tightening and remodeling. Radiofrequency technologies used in the skin are further divided into subcategories. The “polarity” of the device is described – most technologies being monopolar or bipolar. INFINI is multipolar, meaning it is a bipolar device with multiple paired needle electrodes. RF devices can also be classified by how they affect skin. Traditional categories have been non ablative, sublative, and ablative, depending on whether the RF technology injures the top layers of the skin. INFINI is in a category of its own as it delivers multidimensional energy delivery in many layers of the dermis. Finally, some RF devices are fractional, including INFINI. Fractionated devices deliver many discrete zones of energy delivery, rather than a single large treatment stamp. Fractionated devices, RF or carbon dioxide lasers, allow skin following treatment to heal faster.
What is RF Microneedling?
Microneedling is the process of using sterilized, very small needles on the skin for collagen induction. Traditional micro needling utilizes a stamp or roller and is not associated with a light or energy device. The INFINI handpiece contains 49 microscopic needles that are deployed through the skin’s surface. Once deployed, the INFINI microneedle tips conduct radio frequency energy into predetermined depths of the dermis, a huge advantage over traditional micro needling devices.

Q & A
Am I a good candidate?
Am I a good candidate?
- Very few patients would be excluded from having this treatment.
- Patients with pacemakers should not be treated.
- Patient with metal in an area of the face
- Patients on blood thinners can be treated but will get bruising.
- Patients with severely sun damaged skin will theoretically respond less than a person with healthy skin.
- The Infini is safe for all skin types because its needles are insulated and it is protective of the epidermis, where the pigment cells are.Also, the depth can be adjusted so the heat from the RF stays in the dermis, below the most superficial layer. Other devices are either not insulated, or try to push heat through the skin, potentially damaging the pigment cells.
- With an experienced provider, the face treatment takes about 45 minutes, and if the neck is included, add another 15 minutes.
- Typically three treatments are recommended more may be needed for significant acne scarring. INFINI treatments are typically spaced approximately 3-4 weeks apart.
- Most patients will rate the discomfort of the procedure a 3 or 4/10. The areas which might be higher are over the bone, such as the forehead, cheeks, and jawline. The forehead can be excluded if desired. . A topical numbing ointment is applied prior to the procedure.
- Side effects following INFINI are mild in nature, making this a minimal downtime treatment. For patients with very vascular skin, there may be mild pinpoint bleeding and a very small chance of bruise. More typically, the skin is mildly red for approximately 24 hours. The skin may feel slightly rough like sandpaper for 2-3 days. Many patients can resume their normal routine within a day.
- Skincare products need to be approved by S-Team. Do not use make up until the morning and care with touching the skin with unclean hands or towels. There are no activity or sun restrictions.It is not recommended to use either ice or steroid creams after Infini. Similar to the other treatments, the results are dependant on inflammation, and “heat shock proteins”, both of which are inhibited with ice and steroids or anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen.
- The INFINI can be used on all areas of the body. Most common areas are the neck and chest, arms, knees and tummy.
- This will be different for each patient. Results will begin to be noticeable in 1-3 months and full results will be seen in 6-12 months. The collagen created will last at least 7 years. However, the amount of collagen is variable, and depends on the overall skin health, patient’s health, smoking habits, age, tanning, sun exposure, and lifestyle. It is usually recommended to have a “touch up” performed every 12-18 months.
