What is the healing process like from Ematrix?

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis. We see atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to discuss the best treatment options for your type of skin. .

Downtime with eMatrix depends on the energy level used for the sublative RF treatments and it DEPENDS on what is being treated.For low and intermediate energy levels there is no downtime.For intermediate and high energy settings with overlap treatments, there is a 3-5 day downtime. 

EMatrix is associated with little to no downtime.  The majority of patients do not take off time from work.   There will be some swelling and markings during the recovery time.

.... usually very little downtime, if we use low settings eg Program A, or B, ie 40 mJ -45mj per pin. If we are treating skin laxity, or severe atrophic scars and use 100mj per pin and double passing, downtime maybe 4-5 days. Additionally if you are prone to rosacea, you maybe red for extended periods. It really depends.... However compared to laser, RF or Ematrix - Sublative really has very little downtimeRegardsDr Davin LimCosmetic DermatologistLaser DermatologistBRISBANEAustralia
