EMatrix After Facial Fillers?

Question

My eMatrix place will only do eMatrix 3 months or more after fillers are placed in the face. However, I'm wondering if this is different for Sculptra, since it is such a different method of filling. I would like to be able to get an eMatrix treatment sooner. What is the advice on this?

There shouldn't be a problem in the Ematrix treatments with fillers as the Ematrix power is directed towards the dermis and does not extend below into the subcutaneous space. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

The placement of fillers is different than where eMatrix energy is delivered in a sublative manner. As such, after a week, there is no contraindication to doing eMatrix a week after facial filler placement.

EMatrix can be performed following fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Sculptura etc. It is recommended to discuss timing of treatments with your provider as every physician has his or her individual preferences.

Bottom line, safe to use after fillers. Fillers are placed well below the energy ball of eMatrix, so no problem. Even for HA fillers like JUVEDERM, RESTYLANE or BELOTERO, there are no contraindications of eMatrix. Al the bestDr Davin Lim Laser and aesthetics.

eMatrix is done at much different depths than facial fillers. I recommend people not have any type of laser treatment for 24 hours after fillers, but after that, regardless of the filler type, I perform laser treatments including eMatrix and Invasix Fractora on my patients. The depths are so much different there is no reason to wait.
