Matrix RF™ Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Wrinkles and dark spots from age, unprotected sun exposure, smoking and other lifestyle factors can make us start to look older than we really are. While these mild signs of aging don’t typically warrant facial plastic surgery, patients are no less ready to pursue other, non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures to get rid of them! Skin resurfacing is an effective treatment for those surface imperfections that can begin to appear as early as one’s 30s or 40s.
Like traditional fraxel-type laser skin resurfacing methods, Matrix RF™ makes the treated skin look younger by inducing the body’s natural wound healing response. Unlike more traditional methods of facial rejuvenation with laser skin resurfacing, Matrix RF™ treatment accomplishes this not through the use of laser light, but with pulses of radiofrequency energy that heat the underlying layers of the dermis to produce new, younger looking skin cells.
Matrix RF™ skin resurfacing can effectively improve skin brightness, pigmentation issues (dark spots from sun damage or melasma), acne scarring, and mild to moderate facial wrinkling. While an effective treatment plan can only be determined with a cosmetic treatment consultation with Dr. Burstein, most Matrix RF™ fractional skin resurfacing patients achieve favorable rejuvenation results with a series of about three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Contact Dr. Burstein’s office to learn more about the available skin treatment options and to schedule your Matrix RF™ consultation.
Laser Resurfacing for Plastic Surgery Scars
Dr. Burstein may suggest laser resurfacing treatments after a patient has healed from a surgical procedure to smooth skin texture and balance skin tone. Laser resurfacing can also be effective in minimizing the appearance of surgical scarring, crow’s feet and fine lines.
