I'm Asian. Can I have Ematrix at level C setting?

Question

Hi, I'm Asian. I have acne scar on my cheeks. So far I had 3 treatment of Ematrix starting from level A to B. My last treatment was setting at B 44. I wanted to do at level C but my aesthetician told me that she could do only level B for me because Level C isn't recommened for Asian skin, is it true? I have heard that Ematrix will work best for acne scar when you do on highest setting. I'm thinking to get more treatment but I'm not sure that I should find a new aesthetician. Thank you!

Ematrix provides sublative rejuvenation of the facial skin to improve acne scars and surface contour. I have personally had outstanding results on my Asian patients with a moderate to high setting without problems. Thank you,Dr. Karamanoukian

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This is a reason why I suggest only getting laser or radiofrequency treatments by a well trained cosmetic dermatologist.  Sublative is very safe in ethnic skin types and program C even at multiple passes is safe but you would need a formal evaluation with a well trained laser physician who has expertise in treating asian skin and knows how to coordinate the skin care and followup treatments.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Ematrix uses fractionated radio-frequency.  Since radio frequency is "color blind", it can typically be performed at high energy levels for all skin color types.

A lot of the published articles for eMatrix sublative RF treatments are in Asian patients. I refer you to their website for reading of these articles. Click on the link below to read these articles.

Ematrix is a fabulous laser for acne scars and improves tone and texture as well.  I have done many type III skin and type IV skin patients with eMatrix with the C setting and have had amazing results.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist with a great deal of experience with the eMatrix for the best cosmetic results.
