‘Matrix’ rejuvenated!

Sublative Rejuvenation with eMatrix is a unique procedure which uses radio frequency to deliver an effective but controlled ablative and non-ablative fractional treatment for wrinkles, scars, large pores and better texture of the skin. The secret to this procedure is the Radio Frequency energy used. The procedure uses electrical energy, as opposed to laser. During treatment, intense heat is generated under the surface of the skin without disrupting the skin’s surface in the process.

The downtime is approximately 48 hours with a mild roughness for three to five. But makeup can be applied after the first 48 hours. E Matrix 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 three to five months after the final treatment and can be maintained annually.

The special procedure not only targets acne scars, skin resurfacing and helps in anti-ageing by reducing the fine lines as well as wrinkles.

Apart from this, the treatment also allows for customisation, all depending on your skin condition. During the procedure, most patients will experience a warm and prickling sensation. Anesthetic cream can be applied to the treatment area 45 minutes beforehand to ensure that the 30 minute procedure is comfortable. Post the treatment, immediate erythema and mild scabbing can be expected, but not for more than 48 hours.

After the treatment, skin is sure to look refreshed and even feel firmer, after the initial downtime. The results are more visible with time as the skin produces new collagen.
