Potential Risks and Complications of Triniti

Triniti is a multi-component skin rejuvenation procedure that combines the effects of radio frequency and laser light energy to heat facial skin tissues and improve the tone and texture of skin. The heat produced by the noninvasive laser stimulates the skin cells to produce more collagen, which is essential for skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles. Triniti can also be used to treat sun spots and freckles. Your treatment is completely customized to your needs, and each component can be removed or added as necessary.

Risk of Changes in Skin Pigmentation

The lasers used in Triniti are safe for most skin types and tones. If you are particularly dark-skinned, you may opt to defer the pigmentation treatment, as this can result in temporary or permanent skin lightening or darkening. A skin test can determine how your skin will react to the laser. The manufacturer of Triniti states simply that the treatment is safe for most skin tones and colors.

Pain, Redness and Swelling

Although Triniti is generally not considered painful, if you are very sensitive to pain or apprehensive about lasers, communicate your concerns to your doctor. Cooling lotion may be enough to make the treatment tolerable for you. Most patients experience discomfort or feel a hot pinching sensation during the procedure. Redness and some swelling is normal right after a treatment session, and in very rare cases has lasted a few weeks after the treatment. Some patients have reported bruising or scarring in the area that was treated.

Frequency of Risks and Complications

Side effects beyond redness and swelling are not reported often. There have not been reports of life-threatening complications associated with Triniti, and it is generally considered a safe treatment for most patients. Triniti is intended as a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, and the risks and complications are significantly less severe than the risks and complications of surgery.
