Matrix Delivers Visible Outcomes For Various Skin Challenges


Matrix addresses a full spectrum of skin challenges - from texture and tone to laxity and submental fullness. With intelligent RF technology and customizable protocols, visible outcomes are possible for every patient concern.

Texture and Tone

Refine pores, smooth rough texture, and even skin tone while boosting collagen production. It’s a perfect option for early rejuvenation.

Wrinkles and Facial Tightening*

Achieve a firmer, tightened look by reducing fine lines and enhancing skin elasticity.

Loose, Sagging Skin

Restore volume and improve skin tightness to address moderate to advanced laxity.

Under-Eye Puffiness and Drooping

Brighten and lift the delicate under-eye area, reducing puffiness and sagging.

Volume Loss

Gradually restore dermal density* and improve facial contours*, creating a fuller, more youthful appearance in areas like the cheeks, mid-face, and temples.

Real-Time Intelligence for Safer Treatments

With real-time impedance monitoring and algorithmic feedback, Matrix automatically adjusts energy delivery, ensuring consistent, precise, and effective results with every pulse.

The skin tightening segment dominated the radiofrequency skin rejuvenation devices market and accounted for the largest share, owing to the advantages associated with RF procedures.6

Matrix RF microneedling

RF microneedling, which combines traditional microneedling with the application of radiofrequency energy, has emerged as an effective non-invasive skin tightening solution, driving its popularity in the market.9

How it works

How The Matrix Radiofrequency Microneedling Works


How You Treat Is As Important As What You Treat

Matrix delivers more than just visible results. It delivers them intelligently. Each applicator is engineered to target specific skin layers with precision, giving providers the control to personalize every treatment. Whether used individually or in combination, these technologies adapt to the skin’s needs at every age.

Matrix Pro RF Microneedling MOA

Intelligent RF Microneedling

Reach up to three skin depths with a single insertion to tighten*, smooth, and volumize* more efficiently. The Matrix Pro RF microneedling applicator uses ultra-thin, insulated microneedles to create controlled thermal zones that stimulate collagen. Powered by Depth Intelligence and real-time impedance monitoring, it adjusts energy delivery for consistent, customized results.

 
Matrix Sublative RF Fractional Resurfacing

Fractional Resurfacing and Ablation

Using needle-free RF technology, the Sublative RF applicator delivers precision thermal energy into the dermis. A multi-electrode pin array creates controlled micro-injuries below the surface, triggering collagen production and dermal remodeling, while leaving the outer layer of skin largely intact. This makes it ideal for treating fine lines, wrinkles, rough texture, and uneven skin tone with minimal epidermal disruption and downtime.

 
Matrix IR and RF MOA

Infrared (IR) and Radiofrequency (RF) Bulk Heating

Ideal for patients seeking immediate smoothing and skin tightening without downtime, the Sublime applicator combines IR light and RF energy to gently heat the dermis, triggering collagen production and deeper dermal remodeling. Effective for non-invasive wrinkle reduction and volumization.
