48 Years Old, Trying EMatrix.
ORIGINAL POST
I just turned 48 and am trying eMatrix to improve...
WORTH IT$900
I just turned 48 and am trying eMatrix to improve several complaints I have with my skin. I was on Accutane twice in high school for acne and as I've aged, my acne scars are worsening, as I lose collagen. My crow's feet and marionette lines are suddenly deeper and noticeable even when my face is at rest. My jawline is slack and my pores are all of a sudden, huge! I have some pigmentation issues due to sun damage and my skin is riddled with milia. Hopefully this miracle machine will help, but good grief, I look worse than I had imagined 54 hours after my first procedure...

UPDATE on eMatrix - Day 10
It's now 10 days after my initial eMatrix procedure and I AM SO RELIEVED!
On Day 4, I was afraid that I'd made one of the biggest mistakes of my life, I looked absolutely AWFUL! I had company coming for dinner that evening and put makeup on, for the first time. It camouflaged my redness, but my skin texture was way worse than it was before. I spoke with my practitioner and she told me to use Silver Gel, which I had already...
On Day 5 after the procedure, I began to see some improvement! The redness and lumpy swelling really began to subside - FINALLY!
Now I am 10 days after the procedure, and I still have some discoloration, but the swelling and horrible texture have subsided. I'm looking forward to seeing how I look with makeup on tomorrow. I may be crazy, but it seems as though I already have some lifting and tightening happening and my skin is definitely more smooth than it was pre-procedure.
I'm scheduled for a mild chemical peel in a few weeks, then eMatrix procedure #2 several weeks after that. I plan to go forward with it, now that I am seeing results. I am apparently one of those people that have much more severe reactions to the RF waves than others. What I'm astonished over, is that I have had ZERO peeling or flaking. And I'll say it again, after I took 2 ibuprofen immediately after the session, I have had no pain whatsoever.
Give me your feedback, do you think I've gotten any improvement from the pre-procedure photos until now, at Day 10? Or is it my wishful thinking???
Stay tuned for more on my journey to smooth skin!

The lifting I your before and after 10 days is dramatic!so keep going. However, I didn’t think your face was too bad before. I’m 60 & was considering but your photos made me reconsider . I couldn’t take all that redness. I will stick with peels & facials for now . I thank you for your photos. You helped me decide.

I apparently have unusually extreme reactions to this procedure. I also encourage my esthetician to not be shy on the level she treats me with. I have to have 7-10 days without appointments or meetings with clients. It's very worth it to me, the dramatic difference is something I never thought I'd see! I just LOVE it!

I have had it done 2 x I look like a burn victim! Im 49 and it had taken most of my hyperpigmentation away and my son texture is so much better. I scab and peel and it looks award for about a week then it sparky gets to be perfect. Best thing I have ever done
March 7, 2018
That's great news to hear! I'm very pleased with my results so far. I've just done my 3rd treatment and can't wait to see how much more improvement there is after I heal up. NO PAIN, NO GAIN!

Its a great technology in theory, but what they forget to mention is that to get real benefit from this machine, you gotta use it on the custom highest setting, which inevitably leads to prolonged recovery and complaints from the customers.
it will make your acne scars smaller, no doubt, by stimulating collagen growth; just be prepared for at least 4 treatments on the medium setting to get visible long-lasting effect; highest setting causes a lot of peeling and temporary swelling but also reduces number of needed treatments

I'm going HIGH and getting great results! I'm fortunate that I work primarily from home and can recover in privacy, while not scaring children on the street. It's an UGLY process!

True. It's tradeoff for smoother skin and smaller pores,unfortunately. In my opinion, if your skin is on thicker side with sufficient fat reserves then by all means go for it; But if your skin is thin, better stick to medium settings. Still, I think fat loss from E Matrix is way less than from lasers

When I had it done, I was red and peeled for 3 days. First treatment was in highest ,second medium and third and last highest, with 2 month intervals
April 9, 2018
I’m 5 days out of my first treatment on high. I’m trying not to freak out, but my scars look worse, and areas that were not scared look bad as well! Ugh! I’m hoping it’s just temporary!
April 10, 2018
Is this fat loss that never comes back? Isn’t this supposed to produce collagen? I guess the positive is collagen production but if we lose fat that also affects appearance

Fat is what keeps our face youthful and plump. We also lose deep fat from our face as we age. You can fave fat micro transfer to your face as well, it looks really natural comparing to filers

You look amazing!!! I can totally see the change in your skin. thank you for posting this bc am on day 3 and I look terrible and Iam worried as the spa stated it would be better by now!!! i am swollen and red and my skin feels tight and the recommend using a very small amount os aquaphor.
April 11, 2018
Oh, I'm sorry you are stressing! I use Silver Gel, instead of the Aquaphor. My provider, Years Younger MediSpa even overnighted me a big tube after my last treatment... I thought I had plenty, but NOPE! I go through that stuff like water, it feels so good!!! Ask your provider about that, it's not greasy at all, which I hate. Post your progress please!
April 7, 2018
I defiantly think so! I’m relieved to hear you had bumpy lumpy areas also. I’m on day 3 and I’m wondering if this was a huge mistake!?! There are some areas that are raised and different texture, that I never noticed before! Did you experience this? How was the improvement on your neck? I’m thinking about doing that as well, if this turns out ok?
April 11, 2018
I definitely had that experience. I always look very reptilian, almost like a sci fi character. Hang in there, my results are great and I hope yours are too!
