Can I Use Wrinkle Cream After an Ematrix Treatment?

We advise patients to use Retinoids before and after Ematrix sublative treatments to improve the skin and reduce sebum. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian 

We suggest following the post-care instructions given to you from your healthcare provider who administered your treatment. Please ensure that you get his or her at-home recommendations to complement your treatment.For at-home skincare, we would recommend SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic. This is our award-winning vitamin C serum proven to deliver advanced environmental protection. It has been tested to be used for non-ablative treatments and also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the feel of skin firmness. Protect your skin by adding a broad spectrum sunscreen, like SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF50. Hope this helps.

Thank you for posting this important question. It helps guide eMatrix patients as to how to take care of their skin after an eMatrix procedure.As a general rule, I recommend a combination of ceramide booster cream (Elevase) along with a retinoid cream (RR Retinoid Repair). Both of these products are available from Kare Skin. 

With any treatment to your skin, you should always ask your treating physician which topicals are best after your treatment.

Usually it is ideal to wait until you have completely healed from the matrix treatment, likely 3-5 days prior to restarting any topicals treatments.

Always use sunscreen to protect your skin
