The Infini is safer than a laser, with less downtime, and no risk to the eyes. As stated above, the darker skinned patients can be treated more safely with the Infini when compared to a laser because a laser will heat the upper layer of skin, the epidermis. Lasers have the risk of pigment changes (darker or lighter). Results from Infini appear to be better than lasers for acne scars. It is postulated the increased depths of the Infini (up to 3.5mm) vs lasers (maximum about 1.8mm) seems to make the difference. Also, elastin is produced (elastosis) in response to an RF treatment, and this is not the case in laser resurfacing.
