Yesterday was my first ematrix procedure in hopes to minimize shallow acne scarring on my checks and chin. I decided to go with doing this despite reading some bad reviews of the ematrix on this site because I can't stand looking at my scars anymore and am willing to take the risk for the... Read more

So I had my 1st ematrix yesterday and OMG! IT WAS SO PAINFUL! Like more painful than childbirth! I was not offered and numbing cream. I have had 3 fraxel treatments (with numbing cream) and that was a walk in the park compared to eMatrix. When I got home yesterday, my face was on FIRE! I had to... Read more

Had my first treatment yesterday. I did smell the burning skin that everyone complains about (it's actually the little hairs being singed). It did sting but quite tolerable with the numbing cream applied 1 hour prior. Felt like a bad sunburn for about 3 hours then didn't feel anything at... Read more

I have had acne since the fifth grade( I am 24 Now) and I have tried lasers back when I was 19. I notice a slight difference I am hoping since they went as high as the company can let them go I will notice more results within a few weeks. I may get a 5th one free on another HIGH setting as today... Read more

I decided to treat myself with this series of 4 treatments. I can't say there is no difference at all, but no better than a good cream could do. I had a couple of days "down time" after each procedure. Did nothing for hair. Did a very small amount for wrinkles and tightening.... Read more
Choles spent $2,500 in Bellevue WA. Updated 1 year ago
Worst experience I have ever had. I ended up in the emergency room 2 days after my first (and only) treatment. I went in for a pre- treatment test area so they could see how I would react to the procedure and what strength I should use. That night the test spot was red and the next morning it... Read more
Catia spent $750 in South County RI Created 1 year ago
I was sent an e-mail from a local skin rejuvenation spa in my town with information on the e-matrix sublative laser treatment. I was interested in Fraxel but no one in my area offers it. Made an appointment for E-matrix because they had a special promotion at a reduced cost in the month of... Read more

During one of my laser hair removal appointments at American Laser Center, they mentioned the EMatrix procedure...and how I could get the extended hair removal with 4 sessions of EMatrix, for another $2,500. So getting caught up in the "awe" of making myself look younger (I am 35), I... Read more

I just had my first ematrix treatment yesterday and my face is blotchy red, swollen and tingly/scratchy today. I keep reading no down time and can go back to normal activities...I look like I burnt my face off and certainly don't want to go anywhere. I had to go out today so I put a bunch of... Read more

I spent numerous hours looking at this website and many others on reviews for Fraxel on African American skin and could not find any. I was scheduled to get my first Fraxel treatment on Sept 15, 2010. I was very nervous due to all the reviews I did read and the lack of information for people... Read more
Runelady spent $700 in Centennial, CO Updated 4 days ago
I had one full-face & neck procedure done in the middle of November 2012 and the 2nd on February 27, 2013. I honestly think the laser melted some of the fat in my cheeks, which I'm not overly pleased about. My first procedure took 5 days to heal (without any ointment) and the second... Read more
mamalama1 spent $550 in Fort Lauderdale, FL Updated 23 days ago
It was twice the price and they did not use any numbing cream. I was not told about the possibility of scabs, etc. I am not a happy camper. I was sent home in pain and unable to drive adequately. No sunscreen applied and I live in Florida. The technician talked about herself and not about what I... Read more

I've had 4 eMatrix treatments and so far see no improvement in the texture or reduction in wrinkles on my face. The treatment is uncomfortable, but not painful. However, the 4-6 hours following the treatment can be very painful. It feels like the worst sunburn yo have ever had. Don't plan on... Read more

I wanted Dot Therapy for my icepick scars, as I had seen pictures in my doctor's office with great results, plus it was less expensive! She kept saying she wanted to do the EMatrix, because it was "new" and she had high hopes for it with acne scars. She did warn me that there was nothing... Read more

So I am 20 years old, almost 21, and I have been left with some horrible acne scarring from when i was a teen, and it really knocks my confidence. I went for a consultation at Perfect Body NY and agreed to start the E-Matrix treatment once a month, alongside a Micro once a month also. The... Read more
