Is E2 Ematrix good for acne scarring?

Question

Or are there any other suggestion? I don't want to do laser because it will damage the skin like thinning it

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

In my practice, I have found the Ematrix to be outstanding in the treatment of atrophic acne scars on the face and neck. We usually recommend a series of Ematrix treatments for optimal effect. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Ematrix is a welcome option for all the ethnic skin types for both acne scarring and general resurfacing. It's not a laser so that helps tremendously in avoiding post treatment pigmentation.Ematrix and most lasers are fractional devices - meaning they don't cover the entire surface of the skin in one treatment. This is on purpose and allows for quick recovery and a very low incidence of post treatment infection. You give up faster results but you also don't have to deal with a difficult recovery. Treatments are provided in a series to get the most benefit.

Thank you for your question.We use eMatrix extensively in our acne treatment center, especially for acne scars - it is used for atrophic acne scars, some ice pick scars, rolling and boxed acne scars.Best,Dr Karamanoukian

eMatrix is an option to treat acne scarring for all skin types.  Several treatments are typically necessary depending on the severity of the scarring.  Other effective treatments include CO2 resurfacing such as the CORE laser.  CO2 lasers have greater downtime, require fewer treatments and are limited to patients with lighter skin types.

I think
Ematrix is an excellent treatment to improve acne scarring. There was recently
a study comparing Ematrix to Fraxel for acne scar improvement and they
concluded that they both produced the same amount of improvement. Ematrix gives
best results with a series of treatments usually 5 treatments at one month
interval. I also like to add PRP injections to help with healing time and boost
the amount of collagen stimulation. I find the combination of either Fraxel or
Ematrix with PRP give my patients the most improvement. Consult with a Board
Certified Dermatologist to see what treatments are best for your acne scars.
