Imagine that your best friend sets you up on a blind date. Although your acne has been kept under control thanks to various over-the-counter creams, the damage has been done in the form of acne scars on your face. The day before the big night, you desperately search for a product to hide the scars to no avail. You slowly reside to the realization that make-up may be your only alternative to hide the blemishes.
Now imagine that you’re 29, and you’ve been dealing with acne scars all of your adult life.
Many people assume acne is just relegated to teenagers as an undesirable hormonal effect of development. But there are millions of adults who still suffer from acne and the scaring associated with it. Dr. Heather Roberts offers many therapies to treat acne scars; luckily, there’s a new, exciting and quick technique called eMatrix™ Sublative Rejuvenation™. This cutting-edge treatment may very well change your life.
Dr. Roberts is successfully using this clinically-proven method to treat acne scars and wrinkles on patients at her office in the heart of Los Angeles. Sublative Rejuvenation™ is fractionated bi-polar radiofrequency energy, which keeps the majority of the top layer of the skin intact, making this method safe and effective for all skin types with little recovery time compared to other standard fractional treatments. Unlike traditional laser treatments that work from the outside in, e Matrix™ works from the inside out to increase new collagen production and improve fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars. eMatrix™ Sublative Rejuvenation visibly smoothes, tightens, lifts, and brightens skin to give those dealing with the unwanted effects of acne a more youthful appearance.
Treating acne scars requires that energy (laser or light) be delivered below the skin in order to maximize collagen production. The major challenge with this method is that the top layer of the skin peels off due to overheating. To avoid this harsh side-effect and allow more energy to do its job beneath the skin surface, Sublative Rejuvenation™ using eMatrix penetrates the skin through fractional bi-polar radio frequencies via tiny electrodes.
eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation involves three to five treatments, each lasting 20 minutes; however, each patient’s specific needs will be evaluated during a consultation in order to determine the best treatment plan. The procedures are spaced every four to six weeks. A warm, prickly sensation is felt during the procedure; overall, the discomfort, if any, is very mild. Although eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation is less harsh on the skin compared to other techniques, the skin will appear and feel like a sunburn for the first 24 hours. Small pin point crusts will be present for three to five days, but can be covered with make-up.
After treatment, the skin feels smoother and more elastic because of the increased levels of new beneficial collagen being produced. In addition to reducing mild to moderate acne scars, skin discolorations may be reduced in some patients.
The great news is that most patients begin to see results after their first treatment, with continued improvement up to one year after treatment. So if you’re the person in the hypothetical blind date scenario who desires a quick solution to an age old dilemma, eMatrix Sublative Rejuvenation™ just might be the therapy you’ve been waiting for.
