eMatrix
eMatrix – What is it ?
eMatrix is the first non-laser, non-light based ablative skin resurfacing technology in the world. It uses fractional bipolar radio frequency technology.
Up until now treatments for rejuvenating the skin have fallen into two main categories – non-aggressive with fast healing times, but generally producing less effective results than the second type, which is more aggressive treatments but requires much longer recovery times.
eMatrix falls somewhere in the middle, utilising the best of both worlds by using a grid of radio frequency pulses to penetrate the surface of the skin with minimal disruption. The energy delivered to the treatment area can then trigger the production of new collagen and the remodelling of the tissue can begin.
What does it treat ?
- Lax skin
- Acne scars
- Textural irregularities
- Sun damage
- Moderate wrinkles
- Loss of radiance
- Stretch Marks
How does it work ?
- Sublative rejuvination is a new kind of safe and effective cosmetic technology that works on virtually all skin tones. It is neither laser- nor light –based. Instead, it harnesses the power of fractionated bi-polar radiofrequency (also known as gentle energy currents) to deeply penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production beneath the surface while keeping the outer layer of skin in tact.
- Sublative fractionated bi-polar radio-frequency technology places heat effectively into the upper dermis where it can produce a significant increase in both collage and elastin with minimal epidermal disruption.
- •The unique Sublative ergonomic applicator delivers bi-polar radio frequency energy via a matrix of electrodes of the disposable Sublative iD. This fractional delivery of radio-frequency energy causes micro-epidermal ablative injuries with wider spread dermal coagulation. This iniates a strong wound healing response in the dermal matrix while also minimising the damage to the epidermis. Less affected tissue surrounding the matrix points may be stimulated by heat which helps accelerate the healing process, leading to a smoother, rejuvenated appearance of the skin.
What can I expect ?
Dramatically improved skin is achieved without needle or knife, without having to miss a day of work and without the high price of surgical techniques. Most patients report remarkable, immediate results
- Less than one hour
- Impressive results
- Minimal downtime
- Safe for all skin types
- Non-surgical
Sublative results are immediate and continue to improve over the course of a few months
- Improved elasticity
- Improved radiance
- More lifted
- More even tone
- Smoother, more supple texture
- Fewer acne scars, discolourations and sun damage
What can I expect during my treatment
- Sublative sessions are less than one hour long
- You will be asked to remove all your make up and ensure that the skin is dry. The treatment will begin possibly starting at the lowest level of intenisity to see how sensitive your are to the radio frequency . this can be adjusted to a level that you are comfortable with. As energy enters the skin, some patients experience a warm, prickly sensation comparable to a rubber band snap, A red or pink flush resembling a mild sunburn is common after treatment.
- Topical anaesthetic ointments and cool gels may be used to reduce temporary discomfort during treatment. Most patients report no serious after-effects like crusting or peeling and go back to work as usual following treatment. For optimum healing its best not to apply make up for 24 hours after the treatment
What can I expect after the treatment ?
Most clients see an improvement immediately with the skin looking in better condition and feeling firmer straight away, but the full benefits will take about 6-8 weeks to manifest, as the new collagen is produced. For the first couple of days the treated area will take on the appearance of mild sunburn. When the redness fades, lines of fine red dots the size of pin pricks may be noticeable. If that’s the case, they will turn to a faint brownish colour before disappearing completely. Fortunately, this procedure allows the use of skin tinted creams and cover-ups to be used during this time. Results can be long-lasting with ongoing improvements, as new collagen continues to be produced, especially if enhanced with collagen stimulants like vitamin C creams and antioxidants.
How many treatments will I need ?
For optimum results, three visits are advised 4-6 weeks apart. Each treatment produces incremental improvements to your appearance. The total number of seesions depends on your skin's condition. This can be discussed with your theraptist Insert some before and after imagery Insert a video
