Thermage: Q&A
Ask a Question
If Thermage Didn't Work for You, Why Will E-Matrix? Both Are Radio Wave.
It's the 5th day after my 1st E-matrix treatment. Sunspots, pores and skin laxity have NOT IMPROVED AT ALL. No one can tell I've have anything done, including my aesthetician. My doctor insists I need two more treatments at $500 each. He says I won't see the full effects for six months but is getting his info from E-Matrix. 1. I'm worried about long term effects of blasting my face with radio waves. 2. It's a lot of money for no results. 3. There's a lot of hype & BS in this business.

Hype
I agree with you. The technology is promising but it is not quite where it needs to be to be able to offer significant results.

Thermage an e-Matrix
Both of these treatments have their place but they are very different. e-Matrix uses radio-frequency to affect the surface of the skin- especially fine lines and wrinkles- while Thermage uses radiofrequency differently to affect the deep layers of the skin without affecting the surface at all. The target for Thermage is not the skin surface at all but rather the Collagen and Elastin fibers deep in your skin.
Radiofrequency is the most exciting technology out there and it has...

EMatrix and Thermage are for different problems
EMatrix and Thermage differ completely in what they are designed to accomplish.

eMatrix has varying levels of treatment aggressiveness. Unless you are willing to have some downtime and...

Thermage vs Ematrix for treatment of face.
I have used Thermage for over 6 years and Ematrix for 3 years on my patients
For moderate wrinkles or acne scars or both, Thermage will work after one or two treatments.
For mild wrinkles or moderate acne scars, EMatrix will also work, most of the time quite well after the 3rd treatment.
For severe wrinkles, a face lift or injections of large amounts of fillers are better than Thermage or EMatrix.
A face llft will not improve acne scars

Your #3 point hits the nail right on the head!!! There is far more hype than result from all of these machines. Be very careful how you spend your money out there!!

Thermage and Ematrix for Skin rejuvenation
Both Thermage and ematrix are excellent for the right candidate, but they are not a facelift. It is important to have a proper evaluation and make sure that you are clear as to what you can expect from the treatments. Although both thermage and ematrix both use RF, they are very different.. I prefer thermage for tissue tightening and ematrix (which uses sublative radio frequency) for improvement of acne scars and surface wrinkles. I do not expect as much tissue tightening from the ematrix as...
