Also known as “sublative rejuvenation,” eMatrix utilizes radio frequency for a controlled and effective fractional treatment. It can help with overall skin texture as well as minimizing pores. It has been compared to “Fraxel,” but is milder because it does not use lasers.
Is there something better than Fraxel?
Both treatments deliver noticeable improvement in skin tone and texture. However, because microneedling does not penetrate the deep layers of the skin, it is better suited to mild skin problems, and the results are typically less dramatic than Fraxel.
What is the difference between Fraxel and Fraxel Dual?
Fraxel® re:store Dual still has the traditional 1550n laser found in the first-generation Fraxel® system. This wavelength penetrates deep into skin. Fraxel® re:store Dual also adds a 1927mm Thulium fiber laser for more superficial treatment of the skin. It is the only laser with this wavelength.
Is Fraxel the best laser treatment?
Fraxel is an excellent laser for improving skin tone and texture, reducing lines and wrinkles around the face, especially lines around the eyes and mouth. It also improves the appearance of acne scars and surgical scars.
Is eMatrix fractional laser?
Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix™ is a unique procedure that uses radiofrequency to deliver an effective but controlled ablative and non-ablative fractional treatment for wrinkles, scars, large pores and better texture of the skin.
What is eMatrix laser?
eMatrix laser skin resurfacing is an FDA-cleared treatment that gently resurfaces the skin over 4 to 5 treatments. It tightens surface loose skin, improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of mild to moderate wrinkles, acne scarring and abdominal stretch marks. It also tightens pores and brightens the skin.
Will one Fraxel treatment do anything?
With the 1927 wavelength (the one used for fading pigment), one treatment can decrease 80 percent of the discoloration. Dr. Nussbaum says you might need a touch-up with a Clear + Brilliant laser four to six months later, but usually one Fraxel session is enough to last you the year.
How long does eMatrix last?
eMatrix stimulates collagen and elastin production in the deep layers of the skin resulting in a tighter, smoother, more refined and brighter appearance to areas treated. Results continue over 3-5 months after the final treatment and can be maintained annually.
Can I exercise after eMatrix?
The skin should be kept cool and relatively dry for the first 2 days after eMatrix treatment. That means short, lukewarm showers, no sun or strenuous exercise, and no saunas or hot tubs.
How long does it take to heal from eMatrix?
Scabs can last up to seven days, but are rarely noticeable. In some cases, skin might appear dry for one week following treatment. However, skin is usually completely healed from eMatrix treatments within three weeks. During the healing process, clients should avoid makeup, creams, and lotions with oil.
What is the difference between ematrix and efraxel?
Fraxel is a laser and eMatrix is not a laser as the energy type used is not the same. Fraxel (Restore, not the Repair*) uses focused laser energy to superheat the skin in linear columns to create a thermal response.
What is the difference between ematrix and Fraxel Laser resurfacing?
Both eMatrix and Fraxel Resurfacing systems do create some permanent changes in skin tissue. How much is noticed by you (or others) depends on your initial “problem” and the energy levels applied. Fraxel is a laser and eMatrix is not a laser as the energy type used is not the same.
How long do Fraxel and ematrix results take to show?
Results for the fraxel can take up to several months where the eMatrix results are seen within the first month of the first treatment and then are built on from there. Deeper fraxel treatments may only be done one time. Both leave a pattern on the skin that is tough to camoflauge.
How often do you use the ematrix?
The eMatrix is usually once a month for 3 – 4 months at a pricepoint of about $500 a session. It works very well under the eyes and for pigmentation and overall tightening of the skin. Works well on darker skin types.
