Does eMatrik work on pockmarks on dark African American skin?

You need a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in acne scarring/pigmentation and does a combination of treatments including: surgery, subcision, or TCA cross for deep or pitted "ice pick" scars; fillers like Bellafill or Sculptra or Radiesse for broad "boxcar" or "rolling" scars; Eclipse Micropen for all types of scars and improvement in texture and tone; lasers such as co2 laser resurfacing or Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant or radiofrequency such as Venus Viva (I used to Elos Ematrix and have switched to this for darker skin due to better results and less risk of complications) to improve the scars and give long term collagen production. There are many options but you want someone who can customize a regimen for your short and long term goals based on your individual situation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question.eMatric is sublative and does not disrupt the integrity of the skin and does not cause keloid scars or hyperpigmentation in dark skinned individuals.Therefore, it is a great modality for African American skin. BestDr. Karamanoukian

eMatrix is a fantastic laser for acne scars on dark skin.  eMatrix is a "color blind" laser which means that it can be safely used on your skin, no matter what pigmentation you have.  Unlike Fraxel which leaves hyperpigmentaiton of dark skin, the eMatrix will not produce this side effect.  Best, Dr. Green
