Trifill PRO

FAQ

Q What types of acne scars does Trifilpro work best on?

A

Trifilpro is known to be effective for acne scars that have formed crater-like depressions in the skin. It targets the underlying fibrotic tissue responsible for these indentations and aims to improve the skin condition from the root.

Q How many sessions of Trifilpro are recommended?

A

The number of Trifilpro sessions depends on your skin condition, but typically 3 to 5 treatments are recommended. Sessions are usually spaced about one month apart. Continued treatments tend to yield better results.

Q Is the Trifilpro treatment painful?

A

Since a fine needle is used, the pain is reduced compared to conventional treatments. However, individual sensitivity may vary. For those concerned about pain, we offer numbing cream, laughing gas, or nerve block anesthesia upon request.

Q What is the downtime after Trifilpro?

A

Mild swelling or redness may occur immediately after the procedure, but generally subsides within 2 to 5 days. Compared to traditional subcision treatments, Trifilpro is known for its shorter downtime.

Q How does Trifilpro differ from traditional subcision?

A

Traditional subcision involves mechanically severing deep fibrotic tissue under the skin using a needle, which is effective for deep crater-like scars. However, it often causes bruising, swelling, and longer downtime—sometimes lasting 1 to 2 weeks.

In contrast, Trifilpro targets shallower layers of the skin and can treat more superficial irregularities with greater precision. Using carbon dioxide and medication in a micro-subcision technique, it minimizes bleeding and swelling, leading to reduced downtime. This makes it a more approachable and convenient option for many patients.

Q When can I start to see results from Trifilpro?

A

While individual results may vary, noticeable improvement is often seen after the third session, assuming monthly treatments. Some patients report increased firmness and smoother texture even after just one session, but significant improvement in depressions and skin regeneration typically requires multiple sessions. Regular treatments enhance long-term, natural-looking results.

Q Are there any other treatment options for depressed acne scars besides Trifilpro?

A

Yes. Alternatives to Trifilpro include Dermapen 4, Potenza, and skin booster injections. The most suitable approach depends on the depth and spread of the scars, your skin type, and your desired outcome. Please consult with us to determine the best option for you.

Q Is there anything I should be careful about before or after the Trifilpro treatment?

A

Yes. In terms of skincare, it’s important to avoid using strong or irritating ingredients. For example, if you use retinol, please stop using it one week before and after the treatment. Likewise, if you're using benzoyl peroxide (BPO), refrain from using it for three days before and after your session.

Q Can Trifilpro be combined with other treatments?

A

Yes, it can. In many cases, combining Trifilpro with other procedures can produce even better results. Based on your concerns and skin condition, we will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.
