Our office utilizes the Ematrix protocol for acne scars and we advise patients to go through a round of procedures to achieve optimal results. Improvement is seen with one treatment, but several is probably more appropriate. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian
Thank you for your question. It helps guide patients who are seeking relief from acne scars.Treatments with eMatrix have no down time at low and medium settings. On your initial treatment, I advocate low or a medium energy setting to see your response. Experiene shows that more than one treatment, a series of 3 or more treatments are necessary to start seeing improvement. We use this technology in our Williamsville, NY office and our offices in Santa Monica, CA (Kare Plastic Surgery).
The REALISTIC expectation is that not much improvement will be seen with ONE treatment. eMatrix is designed to have little downtime, with energy delivered in controlled Fractional doses. This treatment can improve skin tone, as well as acne scars and stimulate collagen production. Downtime can be predictable, and is based upon the density covered, and the power used. We always advice 3-5 treatments. For most Specialist we undertake the first treatment at a conservative setting, and increase the power and overlaps from there. Your end result will be best 2-3 months after your last RF treatment, and not the first. Hope this helpsDr Davin Lim Laser and skin, and aesthetic dermatologistBRISBANE, Australia
eMatrix procedures really need to be done in a series of treatments for maximum results. Usually 3-5 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Expected results from a series would be: reduction of superficial wrinkles, skin laxity, scars, acne scars, textural irregularities, tone, and superficial skin lesions.
I agree that in the early phases of surgical scars, eMatric can be very useful.An adjunctive approach with fractional lasers and eMatrix may be very beneficial in alleviating excessive surgical scarring. We have a comprehensive scar clinic in our Williamsville, NY offices.
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...
RF or radiofrequency does not penetrate that deeply, additionally the resistance from fat is low compared to collagen, scars etc, and hence the energy is focused just a few mm down the skin surface. It may cause redness (usually short lived), swelling, and grids, but not fat atrophy.Dr...
