How many eMatrix sessions are required to achieve clear looking skin that is free from deep acne marks and scars? Is the procedure same as profractional laser therapy?
Answer: Ematrix treatments for acne scars Deep acne scars may take time for collagen recovery and deposition. Our office specializes in acne scar treatments and we use a combination of both fractional co2 and ematrix therapy. Raffy Karamanoukian MD FACS

Answer: EMatrix alone or eMatrix combined with fractional lasers - Williamsville, NY Thank you for your question.Typically 3-6 eMatrix treatments are performed for acne scars. Whether or not it eliminates all scars depends on the type of scar and how deep they are.eMatrix may need to be combined with other modalities like fractional lasers to clear most, if not all, acne scars.BestDr. Karamanoukian

Answer: Profractional Laser therapy versus eMatrix for acne scars Acne scars and clearing them depend on their depth and your skin type. It is impossible to predict in advance how many treatments are required. The lighter the skin type, the higher the energy and usually the quicker to improve. The benefit of eMatrix is a much lower chance of hyper-pigmentation in darker skin types. As with all things, please find a board certified dermatologist for either procedure with a lot of experience in cosmetic dermatology.

Answer: Depends on the type of scar, skin type, and depth of scar Firstly, it all depends on your skin type and scar type. If you are fair skin, you will need less treatments, deep scars may need other forms of treatment for best outcomes, eg.... TCA cross for ice pick scars or punch excision. Second question, RF or EMatrix is vastly different from profractional laser. One uses laser energy (Erbium profractional by Scition) and the other uses RF energy to heat up the dermis, sparing the upper layers of skin. This induces collagen formation and scar remodelling. We have both RF Ematrix and Profractional, as rule, early scars with little downtime= E MatrixDeep bad scars, longer downtime = Profractional (or CO2 CORE)Davin LimLaser DermatologistBrisbane,Australia
