5 Ways eMatrix Could Improve Your Skin

If you’re like many of our clients, you’re beginning to see signs of aging or skin damage, and you don’t like it. We completely understand. What we want our clients to understand about skin aging is that having skin treatments to reverse or prevent lines, wrinkles, and sagging isn’t just about vanity (although, don’t we all love to look younger?).

Taking care of your skin with science-based treatments is focusing on skin health. 

Treatments like eMatrix are targeted at creating a healthier skin matrix. It’s a very important distinction, because while you may be able to go to a day spa and get a topical facial and leave with skin that’s soft and more hydrated, only the epidermis (the outermost layers of skin cells) has actually been affected.

When you get a topical facial, you see immediate results, but they aren’t long-lasting. Further, and more importantly, your skin isn’t actually any healthier. In a few days, when those skin cells slough away, you’ll look and feel exactly the same as you did before you had your treatment.

That’s why you need something more effective than a day spa treatment. To truly see long-lasting benefits, you need to make changes to the health of your skin on the inside.

That’s exactly what happens with eMatrix.

What is eMatrix?

eMatrix is an exciting, FDA-approved sublative rejuvenation treatment that’s fully non-invasive and does not burn or damage the skin. It uses radiofrequency technology to heat the dermis, the deep layers of your skin, effectively triggering reactions inside the body that cause protein synthesis and cellular rejuvenation; two things your skin needs if you want to turn back the clock on aging and skin damage.

How eMatrix Works

eMatrix is a form of sublative energy. That means the energy is precisely sent below the outer skin into the deep layers, causing less damage to the visible skin so you have less peeling and burning. It uses radiofrequency; energy waves that send heat into the dermis. This heat causes micro-injuries. These injuries are not in any way dangerous to the body, but they still trigger the body’s healing response. This response induces a cascade of events that includes white cells breaking down damaged tissue, new skin cell generation, and protein synthesis, namely collagen and elastin.

Collagen and elastin are the two proteins responsible for our skin’s smooth, wrinkle-free texture, and elasticity. When our skin becomes depleted of collagen and elastin (a natural result of aging), our skin starts to look older and less firm. Using eMatrix, we can essentially turn back the time on aging and encourage the skin to behave as it did years ago.

What Are the Benefits of eMatrix?

When you book a series of eMatrix treatments, your skin will get the full benefit of the treatment. So even if you’re concerned about scarring, for example, you’ll still reap all the benefits of the treatment’s effects on skin aging.

This is one of the beautiful things about eMatrix. The benefits are plenty! Here are the top five benefits of eMatrix, and the reasons why we see women and men so excited about the treatment.

Top Five Benefits of eMatrix Facial Treatment

• Tightens the Skin
  One of the most popular reasons our clients love eMatrix is for its ability to tighten the skin. Sagging skin around the eyes, cheeks, jaw, and chin seems to come on slowly, almost unnoticed, until one day, you look in the mirror and realize your skin has lost a lot of its elasticity.eMatrix for skin tightening can be approached in two different ways: Preventative and Restorative.You can begin using eMatrix before you notice signs of loose skin to maintain skin’s tautness, pushing the slow decline of elastin production back at least a few additional years. This allows you to prevent sagging skin. You can also use the treatment in a restorative capacity, essentially undoing years of sagging skin by replenishing your elastin supply.

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
  As we age, our bodies slow their collagen production. This essential protein is vital to keeping our skin looking wrinkle-free. Collagen proteins fill the skin, giving it a plumped-up fullness that disappears slowly over time, leaving fine lines around our eyes, on our foreheads, and around our mouths. Eventually, these fine lines become deeper wrinkles.eMatrix demands the skin to generate collagen, giving our depleted skin a refill. Just like we discussed above with skin tightening, you can use eMatrix to prevent aging or to restore your look.

• Improves Skin Tone and Texture
  One really beneficial thing eMatrix can do for you is to give your skin a rejuvenated look. eMatrix’s sublative effects mean the entire treatment area gets a makeover from the inside out. So, the treated skin is immediately brighter and clearer.Because the skin is encouraged to slough away old, dead cells and generate new healthy ones, your skin looks completely rejuvenated. You’ll experience a brighter, more even tone and a smooth texture.

• Reduces Scarring
  If you have scar tissue from surgery, injury, or acne, eMatrix can greatly reduce or even completely heal the damaged skin. Your scar tissue is a result of a healthy healing process where the body makes connective tissue to fill in damage left by sores or injuries to the skin. Scars are remnants of healing, and without this natural response, our skin would not heal after damage. Unfortunately, our skin makes scar tissue faster than skin cells, so it’s natural for our body to use scar tissue to heal injuries as quickly as possible.If you don’t like the look of your scars or stretch marks, eMatrix can be used to replace the scar tissue with fresh skin cells. The technology will encourage white blood cells called macrophages to come and eat away at the scar tissue. Meanwhile, the healing response created by eMatrix encourages fresh new healthy cells to generate and take their place.While you will likely need a series of 4-6 treatments to see your optimal results, you may be able to almost completely heal your scar damage.

• Gives an All-Over More Youthful Appearance
  Many of our clients just want their youth back. They want to look like they did 5 or 10 years ago. While it wasn’t long ago that it was simply impossible to give people these kinds of results, sublative rejuvenation using eMatrix makes it possible.As we said early in the article, when you get one benefit of the treatment, you get them all. So, if you’re using the treatment to heal scars, you’ll also be taking advantage of the skin-aging and rejuvenating effects. If you’re concerned about fine lines, you’ll also be preventing sagging skin from developing.eMatrix has so many good benefits for your skin with almost no side effects. So if you want similar results to a non-surgical facelift, this treatment can deliver.

Side Effects and Contraindications to Treatment

There are very few side effects to eMatrix facials. The most commonly reported are dry, flaking skin or mild redness. These subside within a few hours to a few days of treatment and can typically be controlled using a gentle moisturizer.

Contraindications to Treatment Include:

• Pregnancy and Nursing
• Immunocompromisation
• Active skin conditions in the treatment area (such as acne or psoriasis)
• Use of a pacemaker or internal defibrillator
• Accutane use
• Cold sores
• Sunburn or artificial tanning in the last four weeks

Good candidates for treatment are clients of any skin color that are in generally good health.

Treatment Plan for eMatrix

Most people require three treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. In cases of severe scar tissue, more treatments may be necessary. Treatments generally take 30 minutes. You’ll be able to return to your activities or work immediately following your treatment. There is no downtime or pain post-treatment.

Most patients see results after just one treatment, though it may take a few weeks. The benefits of a treatment series are cumulative, so the more treatments you have, the better results you’ll see. You’ll keep seeing more results for up to a year following your treatments. You can enhance your results with yearly maintenance treatments to keep your look.
