About Matrix™

Matrix™ Dimensional RF technology paired with microneedling penetrates deep skin layers, promoting collagen production and enhancing skin quality and texture. The system features a variety of applicators—Sublime™, Sublative™, and Matrix Pro®—each specifically designed to address distinct skin concerns. The Sublime™ applicator focuses on heating dermal tissue to tighten and rejuvenate the skin, making it ideal for treating wrinkles and fine lines. The Sublative™ RF applicator uses bipolar RF energy to encourage new collagen growth, effectively resurfacing the skin and reducing facial wrinkles with minimal downtime. Lastly, the Matrix Pro® applicator combines short-pulse RF energy with microneedling to target and regenerate deeper layers of the skin, optimizing skin revitalization and texture enhancement.

This diverse toolkit allows practitioners to tailor treatments to individual patient needs, making the Matrix™ system a versatile option for a broad range of aesthetic skin treatments. Whether aiming for subtle enhancements or more pronounced changes, Matrix™ provides a solution that can be customized to achieve desired skin rejuvenation outcomes.

You might be a good candidate for Matrix™ treatments if you meet any of the following criteria:

  1. Early Anti-Aging: Individuals looking to start the anti-aging process early to maintain youthful skin.

  2. Mature Skin Improvement: Those seeking to enhance the appearance of mature skin by targeting wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.

  3. Diverse Skin Types: The Matrix™ system is versatile, making it suitable for various skin types and conditions, allowing customized treatments based on specific skin concerns.

  4. General Skin Enhancement: This procedure is for anyone interested in improving overall skin quality and texture who is looking for a solution that offers minimal invasiveness and effective results.

The adaptability of the Matrix™ system to various skin types and concerns makes it a practical choice for many seeking aesthetic improvements.

Matrix is a fractional radio-frequency (RF) treatment designed to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild skin laxity. It works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the dermis, creating microscopic zones of thermal injury that stimulate the body’s natural healing response.

As the skin responds, it begins to regenerate new collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. This remodeling process leads to tighter, smoother skin with improved tone and texture. Matrix is especially effective in treating fine lines around the eyes, mouth, cheeks, and forehead, as well as rough or uneven skin caused by aging, sun damage, or acne scarring.

Unlike traditional laser resurfacing, Matrix RF is gentler on the skin’s surface and typically involves less downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and swelling for a day or two, with skin improvements continuing over several weeks as collagen production increases.

Overall, Matrix offers a non-invasive, customizable solution for those looking to address wrinkles, rough texture, and early signs of aging with natural-looking, progressive results. Multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal outcomes.

Matrix™ treatments, primarily designed for facial rejuvenation, can effectively target and improve various areas beyond the face. Here are the key areas and concerns that Matrix™ can address:

  1. Face: Targets fine lines and wrinkles and improves skin texture and tone.

  2. Neck: Helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin.

  3. Chest: Treats signs of aging like sun damage and crepey skin.

  4. Hands: Improves skin texture and reduces wrinkles, making the hands appear more youthful.

The versatile technology of Matrix™ allows for rejuvenation wherever skin aging is a concern, making it a comprehensive solution for aesthetic treatments.

Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved in a Matrix™ treatment session, which utilizes thin microneedles and short-pulse RF energy for skin rejuvenation:

Step 1: Consultation

  • Initial Assessment: Meet with a skincare specialist to discuss your skin concerns and goals. This helps determine the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Step 2: Preparation

  • Skin Cleansing: The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and impurities.

  • Topical Anesthesia (if needed): A numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Step 3: Treatment Application

  • Device Setup: The Matrix™ device is equipped with thin microneedles.

  • Customization: The practitioner adjusts the depth and energy settings of the RF pulses based on your specific skin type and treatment goals.

  • Microneedling and RF Energy Delivery: The device is gently passed over the skin, allowing the microneedles to penetrate to the predetermined depth. RF energy is simultaneously delivered into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and initiate the healing process.

Step 4: Post-Treatment Care

  • Immediate Care: A soothing serum or gel may be applied to the treated area to calm irritation and enhance healing.

  • Home Care Instructions: You will be advised to care for your skin post-treatment, including using specific skin care products and avoiding direct sun exposure.

Step 5: Follow-Up

  • Review and Further Sessions: Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess the skin’s response to the treatment and to plan additional sessions if necessary to achieve optimal results.

This treatment procedure allows for targeted intervention, leveraging the combined effects of microneedling and RF energy for effective skin rejuvenation and resurfacing​.

A Matrix™ treatment session typically lasts 30 minutes to an hour. This time frame depends on several factors, including the size of the treatment area and the specific skin concerns being addressed. The Matrix™ device’s adjustable settings for depth and energy allow for quick customization, which helps efficiently deliver the treatment even during shorter sessions. This efficient delivery system ensures that even comprehensive treatments can be completed reasonably, making it a convenient option for patients with busy schedules.

Matrix™ is designed to be minimally invasive with minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to regular activities shortly after treatment. The specific recovery process can vary based on the intensity of the treatment and the individual’s skin type.

Results from Matrix™ treatments can be noticed relatively quickly as the skin begins to heal and produce new collagen. Visible improvements in skin texture and appearance can typically be observed soon after the treatment begins and in the days and weeks following treatment.

The longevity of Matrix™ results can vary, typically lasting several months to a year. The duration depends on the individual’s skin condition and the nature of the treatment. Ongoing sessions may be recommended to maintain the desired outcomes.

The cost of Matrix™ treatments in Canada typically ranges from CAD $1,000 to $3,000 per session. This price variation is influenced by factors such as the clinic’s geographic location, the practitioner’s expertise and reputation, the specific area being treated, and the number of sessions required to achieve the desired results. For a precise quote and to understand the full scope of treatment needed, it’s advisable to consult directly with a certified treatment provider who offers Matrix™ services.

Here are the potential risks associated with Matrix™ treatments, which are generally considered safe but can include some mild, temporary side effects:

  1. Redness: The treated area may appear red immediately following the procedure, similar to a mild sunburn.

  2. Swelling: Some swelling can occur, a normal response as the skin begins to heal.

  3. Irritation: The treatment site might feel irritated or sensitive to the touch.

  4. Bruising: In some cases, minor bruising might appear, especially in sensitive areas.

  5. Dryness: The skin may feel dry or peel slightly as it regenerates.

These side effects are usually mild and typically resolve independently within a few days after the treatment.
