Elos™ Matrix IR™

Back to Main Page

Why consider Elos™ Matrix IR™?

Matrix IR™ uses the Elos™ technology to penetrate below the surface of the skin to stimulate collagen production. The result is noticeable lifting, smooth and more toned skin texture. This is used to treat the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, crow's feet and transverse brow lines. A series of 5-6 treatments is recommended to achieve improvement. This can be performed in conjunction with the Elos™ ReFirme™ Skin Tightening or Fotofacial RF™ treatments (see Skin Rejuvenation and Skin Discoloration sections).

How it's done

Treatments are performed every three (3) weeks for fifteen (15) weeks. Only folds and/or wrinkles are treated. The applicator tip has a cooling component that chills the skin being treated for comfort.

Expectations

Improvement usually takes 4-5 treatments to become noticeably lasting. Maintenance treatments can be performed as needed every 3-6 months.

Side Effects/Risks

Short term side effects such as pain, hair pulling sensation during treatments, redness, mild burning or discoloration of the skin are possible. Rarer side effects include damage to the natural skin texture, scarring, keloids and permanent discoloration.

Healing Process

Following the treatment, sun screen should be used regularly to protect the treated area(s).
