How long does it take to see improvement with ematrix subulative?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Hi danatay2016,Great question. eMatrix Sublative uses radiofrequency to stimulate your own skin to produce new collagen. This process of new collagen formation happens gradually over 3-6 months. Since Sublative is most often (and ideally) done as a series of 3-5 treatments, you will see improvement throughout your series of treatments. However, your skin will continue to produce new collagen for about 3-6 months after your last Sublative treatment. Hope that helps. Best of luck.

The timing is congruent and parallel to the physiology of collagen deposition and remodeling, 6 to 12 months.I recommend the use of Pigmentation Correction Complex from KareSKin. H Karamanoukian MD FACS

Depending on the treatment level and passes, it can take up to 3-6 months with 3-5 sessions spaced a month apart. The results you get will be highly dependent not only on the device but also the operator. Namely the level of the machine is extremely variable (mj per pin) as well as the over laps. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
