Matrix RF for Light Acne Scarring and Red Marks, After One Treatment No Good Results

Not Worth It
Spent: $2,200 in Illinois

I had a Matrix RF treatment done three weeks ago and so far my skin has broken out and become very rough around the nose, chin, and forehead area. I had the treatment done for light acne scarring and red marks (redness of scars).

I did an 18% at home TCA peel about a month before the laser treatment which yielded no results and I barely peeled. I am wondering if I am having a bad reaction to the Matrix because I did the tca before it.

Also I'd like to know what kind of results people have seen with the Matrix RF and if I should continue with treatments or just give my skin a break. I'm getting married in three months so I want to see a good change in my skin but I dont want to take any risks that might make it worse.

My Doctor:

Didn't seem to consider my concerns after the treatment, keep insisting that I get more treatments.
