What does the eMatrix treat? eMatrix RF provides fractional ablation and resurfacing of the skin to treat mild to moderate wrinkles and other textural irregularities, as well as red and brown spots. After repeat treatments on patients, we have noticed a moderate firming of the skin in the neck area in addition to skin texture improvements.

Why did we choose the eMatrix system? Because the bulk of the energy is delivered underneath the top layer of the skin, the risk of activating unwanted pigmentation is dramatically reduced.

If eMatrix is not a laser, what exactly is it? eMatrix replaces laser energy with highly controlled bi-polar radio frequency (RF). The newly FDA-cleared Matrix RF is the only fractional resurfacing device utilizing this form of non-laser based fractional energy delivery, greatly enhancing both safety and patient outcomes for skin of all colors.

Traditional fractional aesthetic devices utilizing laser energy are associated with higher risk of post-treatment complications when treating Hispanic, Asian or Middle Eastern skin types due to the impact of the high intensity laser on more darkly pigmented skin. Radio frequency does not pose those risks.

How does the eMatrix system work?
The eMatrix RF works by treating the selected skin area via a grid of tiny spots. The surrounding skin acts as a healing reservoir, regenerating and restoring collagen while accelerating the healing process to ensure limited downtime. The heat from the radio frequency energy sets up a collagen response at selected levels and at selected coverage concentration of skin area.

Tiny crusts form in 24 - 72 hours in the treated zones. These will fall off naturally and should not be rubbed or picked.

What kind of results can I expect?
Post treatment, patients notice a reduction of mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discolorations, as well as a smoother and tighter skin texture.
After treatment with the eMatrix system for Sublative Rejuvenation, most patients showed improvement in facial parameters such as skin brightness (83%) and skin smoothness/wrinkle reduction (90%)1.

Where can eMatrix be used?
In addition to facial areas, eMatrix treatments can be performed on many areas of the body, whereas most other fractional ablative systems using laser are limited to the face only.

Is there downtime?
At the moderate levels expect 2-3 days of redness and swelling and up to 7 days of the light scabbing/bronzing left from the fractionated tip which is completely normal and expected. At effective treatment energy levels this is not a lunchtime procedure and most people will take up to 5 days off work.

Do I need more than one treatment?
Most patients opt for 3 or 4 treatments. Each treatment takes about 30 minutes. Results are cumulative and improve over time as collagen processes work beneath the skin surface.

Does eMatrix resurfacing hurt?
With 30 minutes of topical numbing cream, most patients find the treatment very tolerable.
