What is INFINI and How Does it Work?
INFINI combines radiofrequency energy with precision microneedling to stimulate deep collagen remodelling — here is what the treatment involves, who it suits, and what results to realistically expect.
Key Takeaways
- INFINI merges microneedling and radiofrequency into one procedure, delivering RF heat through insulated needles at customisable depths to remodel collagen from within the dermis.
- The treatment is considered safe for all skin tones, including darker or recently tanned skin, because insulated needles shield the epidermis from thermal injury.
- Most patients experience only mild warmth and temporary swelling for roughly 24 hours, allowing a quick return to work and daily activities with minimal social downtime.
- Visible improvements in skin texture, tightness, and scar appearance typically develop gradually over two to three months as newly stimulated collagen continues to mature.
- Dr. Dan Xu at ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham customises each INFINI session — adjusting energy level and needle depth — to match the individual patient's skin type and treatment goals.
Direct Answer
INFINI is a high-intensity focused radiofrequency (HIRF) microneedling device that delivers controlled RF energy through insulated gold-tipped microneedles at adjustable depths within the dermis, triggering a collagen and elastin remodelling response without significant damage to the outer skin surface. By combining two clinically established modalities — microneedling and radiofrequency — in a single pass, INFINI addresses skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scarring with minimal downtime and a safety profile suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker complexions. At ID Cosmetic Clinic in Markham, serving the greater Toronto area, Dr. Dan Xu, MD, CCFP, uses INFINI as part of a personalised skin rejuvenation plan, adjusting needle depth and energy intensity to each patient's unique anatomy and skin concerns. The device's insulated needles protect the epidermis while concentrating heat precisely where collagen remodelling is needed most, which is why patients typically resume normal activities within 24 to 48 hours. A series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is generally recommended, and results continue to improve over several months as new collagen matures.
Tighter, smoother skin is within reach, and even better, it doesn’t require surgery. Our INFINI high-intensity RF microneedling treatment can transform your skin and smooth those wrinkles. It is one of our most effective skin rejuvenation options and is a patient favorite here at Clinton Plastic Surgery.
Microneedling + Radiofrequency: INFINI Combines 2 Top Anti-Aging Treatments
Both microneedling and radiofrequency are trusted and effective options for improving the skin’s appearance. These treatments have been used in aesthetic medicine for many years. INFINI combines these two time-tested skin rejuvenation options into a unique and highly effective procedure.
INFINI delivers radiofrequency energy through insulated microneedles. This allows the energy to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. We can control treatment depth and energy levels. Patients love that they are getting the benefits of both microneedling and radiofrequency with a single treatment.
- Radiofrequency- Radiofrequency (RF) treatments heat tissue and stimulate collagen and elastin production. RF treatments tighten skin, reduce wrinkling, and lift sagging tissues.
- Microneedling- During a microneedling treatment, small needles are used to systematically wound the skin. This creates a healing response in the body and encourages collagen production. It is very effective for treating scars, including acne scars. It can also smooth wrinkles and improve skin texture and appearance.
Don’t choose just one anti-aging treatment when you can get the benefits of both radiofrequency and microneedling with INFINI. Clinton Plastic Surgery is one of the first plastic surgery practices in Birmingham, AL to offer INFINI.

Your Guide to the Infini Treatment
Before the Treatment
One week before your treatment, avoid using skincare products with retinol, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid and taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as aspirin or Advil. Avoid alcohol 24 hours before treatment.
During the Treatment
A topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. The technician will test a small patch to assess your comfort level. A mild sensation is experienced during the treatment, which subsides immediately post-treatment.
After the Treatment
Your skin will feel warm and slightly swollen for about 24 hours. You may resume normal activity, including work and physical activities, soon after treatment. Applying medical-grade moisturizers and serums will enhance healing. Makeup can be used after 24 hours.
