What is the cost for just forehead & eye area?
What is the cost for just the neck?
Is it safe to combine this with a Botox injection at the same time / in the same area? If not, what order & schedule do you recommend?

Fractionated radiofrequency aka microneedling RF can be used in small areas such as for malar festoons below the lower lids or for crows feet. We currently charge $250 per treatment for these small areas and most people will need 3 treatments. Treatment of the neck is $700 per treatment and most will need 2-3 treatments.
Treatment of only the forehead is reasonable only with a lot of sun damage or very fine lines. Treatment is $300 per treatment for the forehead and it can take 4 treatments to significant sun damage. Otherwise full face treatment is the better choice. Evaluation is always needed to find the best technology to achieve your goals.
Botulinum toxin should not be placed on the same day. It can safely be administered the day before or 1 week after when the inflammation has subsided.

Do you use SkinPen for microneedling now? Or, is it still just Infiniti? If so, how much is the treatment per session?

Some of our aestheticians use the SkinPen for microneedling when short term results with minor downtime are desired or when fractionated radiofrequency/microneedling RF are contra-indicated.

I had both profound and rf Genius (the new Infiniti) for under the chin and neck tightening to end up worse off. I now have “necklaces” around my neck that did not exist before these treatments, grid marks and no laxity. This guy completely destroyed my neck. Is there any procedure to remedy this? i’m so upset..I would have never done this if i were told about perm grid marks and any risk of my situation worsening. It’s been over a month since the Genius treatment and no improvement at all. Was told I need to wait 9 months which is not true. I waited 9 months for nothing after the initial Profound treatment when I knew it was not going to improve for him to tell me this Genius will DEFINITELY improve within 9 months. Nothing I read says anything about a 9 month wait, rather, I read if there’s no noted improvement in 2-4 weeks, it most likely WON’T. Anything you have to help damage from RF treatment? Have you seen this? I’d appreciate the help/feedback. Thank you.

While we do not offer Profound or Genius, I have no personal experience with worsenig laxity of skin after fractionated radiofrequency treatment and am surprised to hear about yours. Grid marks can occur with Infini and Genius and are temporary. Resolution can be sped up picosecond laser treatment, microdermabrasion and fading agents.
Collagen production starts to be noticeably 3 months after treatment and increases up to 6 months after treatment. It appears that you waited sufficiently for 9 months after Profound. Without examination, personal advise is impossible. I would be happy to see you in consultation to provide my advise. Please bring photos from before treatment.

Hi in your opinion which treatment Activefx or infini rf do you see better results for rolling acne scars on cheeks? Thanks

Smaller rolling scars will do great with Infini but also improve with DeepFx. Larger ones are best treated by subcision.

Microneedling is offered a variety of spas. Our office does not provide this service. The only time we use microneedles is as part of Infini treatment, which is fractionated radiofrequency for skin tightening and scar treatment.

Thinking about cool sculpt but what happens to the extra skin?
I am almost 75, but my knees have gotten kind of saggy and I am wondering if cool sculpting would be helpful. At 5’6″ I weigh under 110, so weight is really not the issue.
I bruise easily, and wonder about recovery time, as well.

Neither Coolsculpt nor SculpSure are perfect for skin tightening after loss of adipose cells. You might consider Precision TX for skin tightening which is considered minimally invasive. We will soon expect to see some non-invasive technology on the market. There is nothing that works reliably yet.

Is this procedure safe for Asian skin?

Infini is safe for all skin colors including Asian skin. Nonetheless, we use pre-treatment with a fading agent, arbutin, for 4 weeks before treatment in everyone who has a Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Asian heritage.
