SKINovative Houston: The Ematrix device smoothes wrinkles, treats sun damage, tightens skin.

Oct. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- Houston, TX - Women or men who are looking for brighter, smoother skin have a number of options when it comes to resurfacing techniques. Micro-dermabrasion, chemical peels and laser resurfacing account for much of the skin care treatments today. Now there is an attractive option in skin resurfacing that is quickly gaining popularity. Known as the "EMatrix" RF fractional resurfacing or “sublative rejuvenation”, this device uses radio frequency to penetrate the outer layers of the skin and reach the lower skin layers to achieve better results with less downtime. Treatment with the Ematrix is also a way of treating people with darker skin tones without using a laser, which can cause skin discoloration and burning because of the increased energy absorption characteristics of dark skin. Treating darker skin has always been a problem for lasers because of the risk of burning.

Chris Bailey, director of SKINovative Med Spa in Houston says that the "EMatrix" is a device that can correct three different skin problems at once (smooth wrinkles, tighten skin & remove sun damage) The EMatrix uses bipolar RF energy to treat the skin quickly yet safely

Skin rejuvenation with radio frequency (RF) is quite different from other treatments such as lasers. Most treatments work at the surface of the skin, removing the outer skin layers to reveal softer, smoother skin underneath. Unfortunately, the process also involves a significant amount of discomfort and downtime before the results are revealed after the skin heals completely, a process that can take several weeks at the least.

With RF treatments, the energy waves penetrate the surface of the skin to treat the dermal layer underneath without too much disruption to the outer skin layers. Collagen production is stimulated, resulting in skin that is softer, smoother and younger looking. Because the Ematrix does not directly affect the outer skin layer, downtime is minimal. There are relatively few side effects like redness, irritation and skin crusting that typically accompany other skin rejuvenation treatments. Treatments are short, with a full face completed in as little as 20 minutes.
