FAQs: Sublative Rejuvenation™ using eMatrix
Q: What makes Sublative Rejuvenation different from other aggressive fractional devices?
A: Since Sublative Rejuvenation™ uses radio frequency to penetrate through the upper layers of skin, it sends more energy beneath the surface while keeping the top layer of the skin intact. This is why eMatrix™ safely and effectively treats ALL skin types with little downtime compared to weeks to months of downtime associated with standard fractional treatments.
Q: How does Sublative Rejuvenation using eMatrix work?
A: To achieve the best possible results when addressing any skin imperfection, the energy, whether it be laser or light, must be delivered below the skin without overheating the top layer of the skin. This has been the challenge with current more aggressive treatments, because they work by overheating the top layer of the skin to the point of complete removal, forcing new skin to develop.
Sublative Rejuvenation delivers fractional bi-polar radio frequency via tiny electrodes which penetrate the skin allowing more energy beneath the skin surface, to maximize collagen production--while keeping the top layer of your skin intact. This reduces the risk of discoloration of the skin.
After treatment, increased levels of new beneficial collagen are produced. Mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discolorations are reduced, and the texture of your skin becomes smoother and more elastic.
Q: How many treatments do I need?
A: Each patient's treatment protocol will vary based on individual needs and results desired. eMatrix™ treatments are normally take about 20 minutes. Most patients will receive 3 treatments, each spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Q: When can I expect to see results?
A: Most patients begin to see results after the first treatment with continued improvement up to 1 year after treatment. Patients consistently notice brighter, smoother, tighter skin with fewer wrinkles. In some patients, skin discolorations are reduced. Overall, the skin feels more elastic. Because eMatrix works to rebuild new collagen, duration of results can be prolonged, but depend on individual factors. Maintenance treatments are recommended after 1 year to maintain and further enhance current results.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: Unlike other aggressive fractional treatments, Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix is very tolerable. During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation. After treatment, a “sunburn” appearance and feeling is common for the first 24 hours. Topical anesthetic cream is recommended and applied in our office prior to your treatment to reduce unpleasant sensations during treatment.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: No clinical side effects have been reported to date. The beauty about Sublative Rejuvenation is its capability to safely and effectively offer significant results to ALL skin types with little to no downtime and minimal discomfort. Patients may return to their normal activities immediately.
Q: Is everyone a good candidate for Sublative Rejuvenation?
A: Sublative Rejuvenation is the only fractional treatment that can be used safely on all skin types. Some skin conditions (such as eczema or active skin infections) may prohibit patients from receiving the treatment. During your consultation with Dr Roberts and her staff, they will determine if Sublative Rejuvenation is right for you.
