INNO Plus+: The Upgraded RF Procedure for Skin Tightening and Acne Scars

You might have heard of INNOfill, the RF+subcision combination treatment, during your research on solutions for acne scars. Indeed, INNOfill is one of the latest and most popular procedures available at our clinic, with high patient satisfaction rates and relatively low downtime. On top of that, our competent doctors noticed recently that this treatment could even remove excess fat in unwanted areas, particularly double chins and under eye bags.

But guess what? We've got even better news; this equipment has been upgraded yet again for even better results, under the name of INNO Plus+.


Compared to the previous INNOfill, INNO Plus+ operates in two different modes, has higher frequencies, and utilizes a wider range of hand pieces to treat different skin conditions. As a result, with one equipment we can now treat inflammatory acne, syringoma, spider veins, and other conditions in addition to scars, stretch marks, facial contouring, and skin rejuvenation.

Last week, our dermatologists got together to administer treatment on several patients and to learn more about the procedure. Lucky for you readers, because I was there to capture the moments with my camera and show you everything from the beginning, so that you would know what to expect if you ever decide to try this out for yourself.

First and foremost, it's important to start off with a clean face, as always. You can wash your face at home before arriving, or use our powder rooms. Everything you need is provided: foam cleanser, eye makeup remover, hair ties, headbands, blow dryers, toner, lotion, towels, you name it!


Meet Mandy, who was gracious enough to allow us to follow her throughout her experience with INNO Plus+ treatment! She has no makeup on; the little tapes you see on her cheeks are from moles she had removed a few days before.


You can see that Mandy has very visible bags under her eyes, as well as active acne and depressed acne scars.

Now that we're done taking pictures, it's time for numbing cream. INNOfill and INNO Plus+ procedures require local anesthesia in addition to numbing cream, since the treatment consists of a needle being inserted underneath the skin, to emit radiofrequencies from the point of the needle that regenerate collagen from within. In other words, it's an effective treatment, but it's not entirely painless.



After about an hour of waiting, the numbing cream is wiped off and now we're ready for action. Here is Dr. Ko Na Young of our Hwagok branch, designing Mandy's face with a white eyeliner pencil, to indicate the injection points beforehand.


Next up is the local anesthetic injection.


Now comes the treatment for the under-eye bags. Check out the cannulas, used in different sizes for different types of treatments. Everything is sterilized and disposable, meaning all needles are safe and used for one time use only.


As I mentioned before, INNO Plus+ is a combination of RF laser and subcision technique. The cannula is inserted underneath the skin and emits radiofrequencies from the tip which work to remodel collagen and elastic fiber structures, resulting in regenerated and tightened skin as well as improved scars. Furthermore, the cannula itself also breaks off tangled tissues that caused depressed scars (basic subcision), enabling doctors to kill two birds with one stone.


After eye-bag treatment, Dr. Ko used the INNO Plus+ pen, a new feature that was not available with the previous INNOfill model, for acne treatment. Like the AGNES machine, this pen is a micro insulated RF needle which can selectively destruct sebaceous glands that cause acne (thermolysis). By doing so, your skin can also better find the optimal balance between oil and moisture, therefore improving general skin condition in addition to simply reducing acne.


From the tip of the pen you can see an even smaller needle sticking out (if you have good enough vision); this is the point that is injected into your skin. It's barely visible, meaning it's seriously tiny and not painful at all. Patients have said there was just a slight prickling sensation which was quite easy to endure. Here is some short footage of Mandy receiving acne treatment from the INNO Plus+ pen:


And now I suppose the most important part would be the results. Do keep in mind that for acne, acne scar, and contouring treatments, multiple sessions are always recommended for the best results. Since this was just a demonstration, Mandy only received one treatment session, which normally is not enough. However, in a matter of days she was still able to see some improvement in her skin. I should also mention that there is little downtime for the pen treatment; the redness subsides within a few hours. For the subcision, however, Mandy experienced some bruising that lasted for days, but this is partly due to the fact that Dr. Ko took longer than usual and was a bit aggressive with treatment because she wanted Mandy to get the best out of her one-time procedure. This is Mandy right after procedure. Her face is quite red and full of needle marks, but the next day all of those were pretty much gone.


And this is exactly one week after the procedure. The bruises were turning yellow at this point, so Mandy covered up that part with makeup. Without the bruises, you can see that the lumps under her eyes are considerably smoother. Thanks for sending in your photo!


And here is the progress exactly 20 days later, without makeup. I can definitely see some improvement both in the under-eye bags and acne between the eyes, can you?



It was very interesting to witness such developments in dermatological procedures. Consult our dermatologists about INNO Plus+ if you have similar concerns to Mandy's! Who knows? Maybe you might see great results yourself.
