I am currently at the doctors getting my face numb. I have gotten the eMatrix a chance last month and I didn't see much of an improvement but my doctor assured me that I need to get the procedure done a few times before I can see improvements on my facial scars. They are not deep but many and all round my cheeks.
So here I am... I will share my photos and progress of my photos as the days pass for people to see my results. I hope to works!

Hi my name is Rosa, 51 years old. I had the treatment e-matrix for wrinkles 4 years ago and the lady cleaned my face and face with alcohol???

Hi Rosa, cleaning the face with alcohol is normal, but they should also numb your face! Was that done?

Sorry I'm Rosa, no 4 years ago. 4 days ago, sorry I have confused. So this is correct, clean my face before the treatment e-matrix???

I must admit, I am a lot happier with the treatment I got this time than the treatment I got last month. The doctor increased the intensity of the matrix this time and the result was evident the day after the laser. My face was very red on the first day but turned rather brown and scabby the next day - a lot more obvious than it was last month.
Although it may be too soon to judge whether my skins texture has improved 5 days post-treatment, I am already beginning to see some changes! Even my mom noticed my skin looked fresher this morning. I hope that in 2-3 months time I see a significant change in the scarring that was there. For now, the scabs from the laser are beginning to shed and my skin looks fresher.

I do not think there's such a thing as test patients, you will have to save to be able to get the treatment done. I suggest you place enough savings aside to get the entire treatment sessions done because one will not make much of a difference.

Not really, here are a few things:
- The doctor has to see you beforehand.
- You will have to ensure you are not taking any supplements or applying creams that can cause irritation during/ after the laser sessions.
- You will need to ensure you have saved enough money for the treatments to be done one-month apart because one treatment wont help you much.
- During the day of the procedure, you will need to wash your face at the clinic and the nurse will apply a numbing cream.

Thanks for your prompt reply. Well my thought was to be test for my age group, money is not the issue. My skin feels like leather,not like it did in my 20's. Plus the travel and what is the down time between each treatment. D.C. is a 4/5 drive too one way.

You do not have to get this procedure done in Washington DC! There are doctors all around the U.S. and the world in fact! Just take some time to google which doctors around this area have the machine and you can visit them for a consultation. I do recommend this treatment and it will definitely make your skin smoother BUT not from the first go. You have to get the treatment done a few times while UPPING the intensity in order for you to see a difference.

Ah, thanks so much. That's great.I will start with the locals Deem.MD.s here tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing, I look forward to your photo updates :) Does the numbing cream relieve the pain, or does it still hurt?
Excellent!
