eMatrix™ is a fractionated bipolar radio-frequency (RF) treatment classified as sublative skin rejuvenation. It delivers energy into the dermis through a grid pattern while preserving the surface layer of the skin. The result: improved texture, tone, and collagen renewal without the extended recovery of ablative lasers.

This treatment is effective for a wide range of concerns including:

• Fine lines and mild wrinkles
• Acne scar improvement
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Large pores
• Stretch marks and skin laxity
• Sun-damaged or aged skin

During the session, a handpiece with tiny electrode pins delivers RF energy into the skin in a patterned matrix. The outer skin layer remains mostly intact, while deeper zones receive controlled thermal energy that stimulates fibroblast activity and new collagen formation. Over time, this leads to smoother and firmer skin.

Most patients undergo a series of 3–5 treatments, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. The exact number will depend on your skin condition and treatment goals.

Downtime is minimal. Many patients experience mild redness or warmth immediately after the procedure. Some may see tiny crusting or light swelling, generally resolving within 2–5 days. Makeup may often be applied the next day to cover any residual redness.

You may notice smoother skin texture shortly after treatment, but full collagen-remodeling results typically appear gradually over 3–6 months post-series. A maintenance treatment may be advised annually.

Yes — one of the major advantages of eMatrix™ is its suitability for a broad range of skin tones, including darker skin types, because it spares the surface layer and reduces risk of pigment changes.

Before your eMatrix™ session:

• Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning for several days prior.
• Discontinue exfoliating actives (e.g., retinoids, acids) a few days before.
• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

Your clinician will review full instructions during your consultation.

Post-treatment care typically includes:

• Avoiding sun exposure and using high-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
• Using gentle skincare and avoiding harsh exfoliants for a few days.
• Avoiding strenuous exercise or heat exposure (saunas, hot baths) for 24–48 hours.

These steps support healing and optimal outcomes.
