Microneedling
At Gold Coast Dermatology Clinic, we use the INFINI by Lutronic. INFINI uses insulated micro needles and radio frequency to penetrate the skin and deliver thermal energy. This stimulates regeneration of collagen and elastin to improve skin texture.
The INFINI can be used on all skin types and patients have down time of only 1-2 days. A minimum of 3 treatments is usually required for optimal benefit. These should be spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Topical numbing cream is applied to the skin 1 hour prior to the procedure, to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
Micro needling with Radiofrequency is latest technology to target skin issues such as:
Acne scarring
Pore size
Wrinkle reduction
Skin tightening
Scar revision
INFINI has been successfully used to permanently reduce sweating in underarms.

+ What’s the difference between Infini & non-RF devices, such as dermapen?
Infini allows radiofrequency (energy) to be delivered, via microneedles into the skin, creating heat which denatures (or damages) collagen, promoting regeneration and further stimulation of both collagen and elastin.
Traditional microneedles are able to stimulate some collagen regeneration, but usually these needling devices don’t reach the same depths as Infini (up to 3.5mm) and they don’t deliver the energy required to really make a noticeable change to your skin.
+ Will I see immediate results?
Straight after the procedure your skin is slightly swollen, red, has pin point bleeding and may feel a little bit tight. This continues for 3-5 days post procedure. It feels like you have had immediate collagen regeneration. Once the swelling settles, your skin returns to normal.
However... the skin is a dynamic structure, so over the course of the next 3 months, that damaged collagen starts to regenerate and you will notice a firmer skin texture, decrease in fine wrinkles and improvement in scarring.
3 or more treatments are recommended for best results. Some patients then have an annual top up.
+ What skin types are suitable for Infini?
All skin types!
Infini utilises insulated, gold plated, microneedles, which means that when the microneedles are inserted in to the skin, the energy bypasses the top layer (epidermis) where all your pigment cells (melanocytes) are. By skipping over the melanocytes, the risk of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation is minimised, making Infini by Lutronic a treatment that is suitable for all skin types.
+ What conditions is Infini by Lutronic used for?
- General rejuvenation
- Skin tightening
- Acne scarring
- Surgical Scars
- Stretch marks
- Sweating (hyperhidrosis)
+ Can Infini be combined with other treatments
Yes - combine Infini with the following:
- Healite for a very gentle improvement in healing times and collagen boost.
- Laser Genesis – a more intense brightening effect and decrease in redness.
- CoolPeel – the ultimate brighten and tighten – this will give you a deep collagen add elastin induction, whilst providing the epidermal layer a more dramatic result.
