Ematrix - Plantation, FL
The procedure was painful, i had my entire face,...
The procedure was painful, i had my entire face, neck and chest done. I have sagging skin, dark circles under my eyes, sun spots, and wrinkles on my forehead, and around mouth and eyes.
Im 40, and wanted to try something to make me look fresh and not tired looking. It seemed even after exfoliating my skin was not dry and not smooth. So, my doctor reconmended ematrix, i was interested in fraxel. I had no numbing cream, big mistake, procedure took 30 minutes, i could smell burning skin, my level was a B, (range is A, B, and C). I expected to look like a lobster after since the procedure works with deep layer the dermis, all I could do was sun screen and mineral powder, no coverup or ice.
I did go to work the next day, and the red color did improve and not as noticeable with powder, people at work could only tell up close. I did have some swelling all over my face the first day, the second day not so bad, just certain sensitive areas.
Day 2, my skin color was still red in certain areas where the probe was used, but not bad, pain okay. Day 3, red color gone, just small scab dots where the probe was used but not noticeable unless close up. No pain or swelling. I can see a difference especially on the sun spots faded, on my checks and forehead, the skin texture is still rough from probe and Im sure it will improve every day. I am only using sun screen and mineral powder to cover. Day 4, can wear no coverup, only lotion, just faint grid marks, only visible to me, (i know what I am looking for), skin texture is still alittle rough, can feel the grid marks where probe used, but after the lotion, little mineral powder and eye makeup, I can tell I look refreshed. Day 5, skin texture is much smoother, it seems the grid marks are slothing off.
Im scheduled for another procedure in a month, I will post my experience. Once I get pictures ready I will post, that where you can really see what to expect. I will schedule my next procedure on a friday and use numbing cream. Good luck..
My updated comment was on day 5...not to mix any...

HI Fort,
Thanks so much for such a detailed review. It will be really useful to the community. How long had you been thinking of getting this procedure? And will you have it again? The info you provided the community of how your skin was day by day again is going to be so useful. Please keep us updated and yes we would love to see pictures.
Thanks,
-Britt
Hi Fort,
It would be so nice to just wear lotion. A lot of community members who don't want people to recognize them, post pictures with blacked out eyes, if that helps.
Thanks for the added info,

Thank you for sharing your first E matrix experience with us. I just have my first one 2 days ago, and I was freaking out, because of the little red to brown marks all over my face. I wish I was told about that, the only thing I was told is that I was going to be red for a couple of hours, which is not true, it last until the next day. I'm glad I just read your post, it makes me feel better and calm me down, I was a little be upset because of how my skin looks with those little dots all over. I'm just going to wait a couple more days and see. Good luck with your next treatment, I migh have my second one next month, well I'm no sure, only the results of the first one will tell. Thank you very much.
I am going to a dermologist in Tamarc for three treatments of e-matrix....I was looking at the Matrix IR ..does anyone know the difference? I will be getting my lips done at the C level and now everyone is making me nervous! I will be getting a dental shot in my mouth to stop the pain....so..
I am 62 and want to wrinkles 60 percent better from my mouth....I am not a smoker just a coffee drinker through a straw to prevent my teeth from getting ugly for 25 years and now we have teeth whitners ....but who knew this ?
Thank you all for writing this

I am considering ematirx and I also live in Plantation. Can you tell me who you went to and if you would recommend them? What are they charging, if you care to share that.
Thank you! Beth
Hi Beth, I had the procedure done @ Weston Cosmetic Surgery Center in Weston {edited} Michelle Hoff, MSN,FNP nurse practitioner did the procedure, she is wonderful. The cost was 600$ for face and neck. I would recommend this place, I have been a patient of his and Michelle for 5 years. I recommend having a consultation with Michelle before having the procedure. Good luck, Karie
