Clinical Study: Matrix RF is Safe and Effective for Skin Rejuvenation and Wrinkle Reduction
A clinical study performed by George J. Hruza, M.D., Amy Forman Taub, M.D., and Stephen Mulholland, M.D., concluded that the Matrix RF technique achieves much better results compared to non-ablative resurfacing--and has a much faster recovery compared to fully ablative resurfacing (including CO2).
Skin resurfacing has evolved rapidly over the past 15 years from ablative to non-ablative, and most recently fractional ablative resurfacing. Matrix RF fractional skin resurfacing differs from the others in that it's customizable for skin types, it can be targeted for specific areas and intensities, and it treats tiny dots of skin--leaving the untreated skin surrounding the dots free to help heal the treated skin faster.
The study found that patients undergoing facial treatment had minimal discomfort, no permanent side effects and minimal downtime. One month following the treatments, physicians found improvement in these areas:
83% of the patients showed improvement in skin brightness
87% of the patients showed improvement in skin tightness
90% of the patients showed improvement in wrinkles
The doctors concluded that, based on their clinical experience, fractional RF delivery via Matrix RF can be used safely in most if not all skin types, giving a significant visible improvement in skin smoothness, tightness, brightness and wrinkles.
