Is the eMatrix for under eye wrinkles an option?

Question

Is the Ematrix a good option for under eye wrinkles? Don't want the downtime of, for example, the Co2 laser and don't mind having multiple treatments. Will the Ematrix be effective or are there maybe other options with minimal downtime (2-3 days) but more sessions needed? (wrinkles due to lose skin, already had a skinpinch but this was not effective enough). Thank you for your awnsers.

Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented  scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve  the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture.  Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.
 
Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition.

eMatrix is a fabulous laser for under eye wrinkles.  It generally takes 3 treatments spaced one month apart and there is little down time in between treatments.  I have had great results with eMatrix and there is a special tip for the under eye area.  Best, Dr. Green

eMatrix is an option to improve lower eyelid wrinkles with minimal downtime as compared to CO2 resurfacing.  It would be common to under a series of treatments as compared to a single CO2 resurfacing.

Ematrix is a very effective treatment modality for undereye wrinkles. Definitely less downtime than an ablative co2 laser but you will need anywhere between 3-5 treatments one month apart. There is actually a specific tip to treat solely under the eyes. In my practice I like to combine Ematrix with prp for better results and less downtime. Best of luck!

Yes, it can be a good option. CO2 laser fractional is better, but if you are willing to go for more sessions eMatrix, especially if the treatment is > 70mj per pin with a conservative overlap can help. You may require 2-4 sessions depending on the treatment level.all the bestDr Davin Lim
