eMatrix™ Sublative Rejuvenation
Skin Smart offers eMatrix™ Sublative Rejuvenation, a new type of skin resurfacing utilizing radio frequency (RF) technology. eMatrix™ can significantly improve the signs of aging, and is used to treat wrinkles, scarring, acne scarring, superficial skin lesions and brown spot.Fractional laser resurfacing with the eMatrix™ laser can dramatically improve the texture and tone of the skin with just 3 treatments.
Q: What makes eMatrix™ different from other aggressive laser resurfacing devices?
A: Although classified as an aggressive treatment, Sublative Rejuvenation is unique because it delivers optimal efficiency with minimal downtime at an affordable price point--and it is safe for ALL skin types.
Q: What conditions does eMatrix™ Sublative Rejuvenation treat?
A: The eMatrix™ is FDA approved for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes, skin laxity, acne scars and sun damage.
Q: How does Sublative Rejuvenation using eMatrix work?
A: Sublative Rejuvenation uses fractional bi-polar radio frequency to penetrate through the skin--to allow more energy beneath the surface of the skin, maximizing collagen production--while keeping the top layer of the skin intact. This energy is delivered below the skin without overheating the top layer of the skin, increasing levels of beneficial collagen post treatment as new healthy skin cells are produced.
Mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discolorations are reduced, and the texture of the skin becomes smoother and more elastic.
Q: Am I a good candidate for the eMatrix™?
A: The eMatrix™ might be an excellent choice if acne and acne scarring are prime concerns as it is particularly effective against these conditions. It can also be used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Brown spots or age spots
- Uneven pigmentation
- Raised or conspicuous scars
- Lack of skin tone and poor texture
Q: How long does treatment take?
A: A full-face session can take as few as 20 minutes. Average time is 10-30 minutes.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Typically, there is little discomfort. During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation. Cooling can be used to reduce unpleasant sensations during treatment.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Each patient's treatment protocol will vary based on individual needs and results desired. Many patients receive three treatments at six week intervals for best results.
Q: What can I expect after treatment?
A: After treatment, a pink or red “sunburn” appearance and feeling is common. We recommend staying out of the sun for 24 hours, and apply sunscreen for at least 2-3 days.
Q: When will I see results and how long will they last?
A: You will begin to see results after the first treatment and results will continue to improve up to one year post treatment. Because this treatment works to rebuild collagen, there are no limitations on how long the results last. Duration of results will be based upon lifestyle and sun exposure.
