What are the side effects of ematix/sublative treatment? (photo)

Question

I had sublative treatment done yesterday on it's highest setting for scarring. I am very worried after reading really bad reviews about permanent damage/pockmarks/blotchy skin, and skin being "ruined" after treatment. I am a 30yr old olive skinned asian. My partner is 47yrs old, caucasian,very fair & he wants it for his wrinkles. His skin is sensitive. Can you please explain why there is such a huge contrast between reviews? from extremely bad to good? Can it damage your skin?

eMatrix is great technology and would not be on the top of my list to treat fine wrinkles. See a skin specialist who has experience and access to many technologies and can tailor the best approach to treat your partner's sensitive skin.Best

It depends on mainly on the operator. Any device, laser, RF, Filler, BOTOX, etc... I liken to an instrument. eMatrix and many devices here are top quality instrument, much like Japanese steel scissors for cutting hair. The instrument is good, but everything is dependent on the operator. Give the scissors to someone learning to cut hair and the difference you get from a Directors cut will be very different. In most cases, its not the instrument, or devices, its operator dependent. I stand by eMatrix and have done thousands of cases over the past half decade, without one long term complication. Sure, sort term side effects can be seen (rarely even with power of 80-90 Mj per pin 50% overlap), these include, grids, brown dots, demarkation lines, infection, re activation of HSV, PIH etc.. but all can easily be rectified by specific skin care. Big hint, apply the device to the problem, in your case if your partner is 47 Y.O  caucasian and very fair, eMatrix would not be on my list as my go to device. Always choose a device to solve the major concern, and not use one  (or even a handful of lasers RF, microneedling etc...) to come up with a solution that is best for the patient. See a Board Certified Specialist with a good reputation. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
