After 3 ematrix, I went to examined my face at an anesthetician n it appears the my deep layer of my skin has been bruised up and have larger dark areas verses before, it also has weakened my melanin and cost my skin to be even more sensitive. I believe this machine is new and the results are not true. American Laser claims that ematric cannot cost hyperpigmentations and will not refund unused treatments, this is disappointed.
Answer: Hyperpigmentation and Ematrix Any type of energy driven treatment can stimulate hyperpigmentation. In our practice, we advise patients who are at risk of pigmentation to use Melarase creams. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Answer: Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can occur following any type of injury to the skin, natural inflammation or procedure related inflammation such as following laser (fractional or other) or RF energy or even chemical peels. Treatment with Melarase creams will help accelerate the healing process.

Answer: It's not the machine but the operator. eMatrix is a form of RF or RadioFrequency, and if used in the correct manner, will not cause any damage to melanin and increase darkness (hyperpigmentation). The machine has been in use for the past 4 years, so results are dependent on both patient selection, but most importantly the user. Our eMatrix protocols are written by Specialist Dermatologist, and not aestheticians, so our side effect rate is low. OK, if you developed PIH or Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation there are two issues-1. Why did this happen?2. How to fix this problem?1. It happened because either the fluence (power) was too high, the overlaps too great, or the intervals between treatments were too short. In the majority of cases, overlaps are too much. Patient factors come into play as well such as sunexposure and medical conditions etc. 2. Now... how do you fix this? See a Dermatologist for some HQ , or Lytera or a combination of both, use high SPF 50 twice a day, and give it time. Take a photo during the consult, and review in 8 weeks. Your PIH is not permanent and WILL settle. RegardsDr Davin Lim Specialist Laser and Cosmetic Dermatologist, BRISBANE, Australia.
