What is Profound Matrix

A New Dimension of Radiofrequency

The Profound Matrix system, powered by Dimensional RF™ takes radiofrequency (RF) to new dimensions.

Designed to correct, maintain, and restore skin at various stages of the aging journey, this multi-application system features the all-new Matrix Pro™, Sublime™, and Sublative™ RF applicators to deliver customized treatments based on patient needs. The Profound Matrix system is designed to resurface the skin and treat wrinkles, all while creating volume4 and strengthening skin structure.1

This first-of-its-kind system is uniquely equipped with impedance monitoring and Depth Intelligence™ technology, the system provides real-time feedback that allows the user to deliver consistent results to their patients.1,**

How it works

Built on the Power of 3

Powered by Dimensional RF™, the Profound Matrix system creates an entirely new category of radiofrequency. By leveraging 3 modalities in a single device and working at up to 3 depths with a single insertion, this multi-application system is radiofrequency, intelligently redefined.

Matrix Pro™ Applicator

The Matrix Pro applicator is equipped with an array of the thinnest microneedles on the market* that deliver short-pulse RF energy to the skin in a fractional manner. Combining its one-of-a-kind Depth Intelligence™ technology with real-time impedance monitoring, the Matrix Pro applicator can deliver up to 3 distinct user-controlled depth and energy settings in a single insertion, allowing for customized and consistent treatment results. Treatment outcomes include new collagen creation3,4 and marked improvement in overall skin appearance and texture.4,5

Sublime™ Applicator

The Sublime applicator is designed to heat skin layers with a combination of infrared (IR) and bipolar RF energies to shorten aged collagen fibers and treat wrinkles for a smoother skin appearance.2,3 This needle-less and non-invasive treatment allows for clinically proven results with minimal downtime.**

Sublative™ RF Applicator

The Sublative RF applicator stimulates new collagen growth and resurfaces the skin by delivering bipolar RF energy to the skin in a needle-less, fractional manner via an array of multi-electrode pins.2,3 This treatment results in smoother skin and the reduction of facial wrinkles.

System Highlights

Powerful Performance with Revolutionary Technology

A Customized Approach

The Profound Matrix system allows users to customize treatments based on patient needs and skin concerns with the choice of the Sublime, Sublative RF, and Matrix Pro applicators.

Consistent Outcomes

The Profound Matrix system monitors tissue impedance across all 3 modalities to ensure consistent treatment outcomes.1,**

Compact, Yet Versatile and Easy to Use

The Profound Matrix system is a lightweight and upgradable system that has a simple GUI and minimal operator learning curve, allowing for delegation to physician extenders.

Performance and Features

Delivering a Distinctive Advantage in Short-Pulse Microneedling

With the addition of the Matrix Pro applicator, the Profound Matrix system creates an entirely new category of medical aesthetic treatments.

Profound Matrix dimensional RF microneedling for skin revitalization

Dimensional RF

  • Powered by Dimensional RF, the Profound Matrix system delivers multi-dimensional treatment outcomes. Achieved by leveraging multiple modalities working at up to 3 depths of the skin, this approach allows practitioners to customize and deliver precise treatments based on patient needs while creating volume4 and strengthening skin structure.1
microneedling depth intelligence

Depth Intelligence™ Technology with Impedance Monitoring

  • Complete with Depth Intelligence technology, the Matrix Pro applicator can deliver up to 3 distinct user-controlled depth and energy settings in a single insertion, allowing for customized and consistent treatment results.1,**
  • The Matrix Pro applicator takes impedance monitoring to new dimensions by working at multiple depths. By monitoring start and end impedance, users can adjust settings and technique in real time, resulting in precise energy delivery throughout the treatment and delivering consistent, customized results.
thinnest microneedle array

Thinnest Microneedle Array*

  • The Matrix Pro applicator is equipped with an array of the thinnest microneedles on the market today,* designed to improve patient comfort, maximize results, and decrease downtime.1,2,*
  • The Matrix Pro applicator operates with a single-use, disposable cartridge tip, consisting of an array of 49 (7X7) ultra-thin semi-insulated micro-electrode chamfered needles, with a diameter of only 0.16 mm (34 gauge).
Applicators

Profound handpieces

Matrix Pro™ 

User-controlled depth and energy settings in a single insertion to create new collagen3,4 and marked improvement in overall skin appearance and texture.5,6

Sublime™ 

Bulk heating of the dermis and stimulation of collagen resulting in immediate and long-term improvement of wrinkles.

Sublative™ RF

Delivery of bipolar RF energy to deliver diffuse thermal impact in the dermis with low epidermal disruption resulting in smoother skin and the reduction of facial wrinkles.

Testimonials

Physician's Perspective

Gilly Munavalli, MD, MHS, FACMS

The Profound Matrix™ system and its Matrix Pro applicator take radiofrequency to a whole new level. The versatility of the Profound Matrix system, with its user-controlled depth and energy settings, allows the user to easily tailor treatment depths and the number of passes to accommodate each patient’s anatomy and comfort level. Using only topical numbing, my patients have been extremely happy with their results and report low pain scores with minimal downtime.**

Board-certified Dermatologist and Fellowship-trained Mohs Surgeon
Scott Gerrish, DO

We've offered complementary treatments with the Sublative RF and Matrix Pro applicators and have seen improvement in the patient’s skin luminosity, texture, and overall skin appearance as soon as one-week post-treatment. The Sublative RF applicator effectively resurfaces the skin, while the Matrix Pro applicator stimulates new collagen growth with a completely customized treatment. Patient satisfaction has gone through the roof after receiving these complementary treatments.
