High-Frequency Equipment “Infini”

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry[INQ. NO. 1802E13] Lutronic’s high-frequency device, Infini, combines two technologies. The two are micro-needles and high frequencies. A micro needle is a fine needle protruding from the handpiece of Infini. These needles are arranged in a fine grid comprised of 49 partitions (seven in width and seven in length).
When the instrument is operated, these needles are projected one by one in a row and inserted into the skin. At this time, the operator can precisely adjust the depth of the needles for the purpose of the treatment. In this manner, these micro-needles cause certain wounds to the skin, and as the wounds are healed, new collagen of skin is created.
On the other hand, Infini also doubles as a high-frequency device. High frequencies are generated from the ends of the micro-needles, causing heat to be generated in irradiated tissues and obtaining therapeutic effects. However, micro-needles are made to flow current only at its ends and the remaining parts are insulated. Therefore, heat synergy effects due to the generation of high frequencies appear only at the tips of the needles. Due to this fact, Infini can effectively transfer heat only to the interior without damaging the skin. Therefore, unlike typical high frequency devices, there is no need to further cool the skin surface during treatment. Infini mainly treat wrinkles due to aging, but is also used to treat other symptoms.

Infini can treat hyperhidrosis and osmidrosis. A high frequency generated from the micro-needle transfers heat to sweat glands of a treated area. In this process, only the sweat glands are selectively destroyed without damaging the skin surface. Infini is also used to treat acne and its scars. Infini can do the same to sebaceous glands in the same way as it selectively transfers heat to sweat glands.
Lutronic, a leading innovator of aesthetic and medical advanced laser and related technology, was established over 17 years ago to bring intuitive, robust, versatile devices which are affordable and efficacious to the worldwide medical community. Committed to improving medicine, Lutronic partners with key opinion leaders to advance science and ensure efficacy of its systems.
All systems are versatile and offer multiple setting and treatment options for customized treatments, which optimize outcomes for a wide variety of conditions and treatments including melasma, tattoo removal, soft tissue incision, vascular, hair removal, wrinkles reduction, rejuvenation, body/face contouring, chronic pain, healing and more.
