3. Who Is It For?

• Patients okay with moderate downtime

• Deeper texture concerns and signs of aging

Matrix PRO is best for:

• All skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI)

• Sensitive or ethnic skin types

• Skin laxity and crepey skin

• Enlarged pores

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Stretch marks

• Early jowling or lower face sagging

What can I expect during the procedure?

A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Once the skin is numb, the device is passed across the treatment area. Tiny needles penetrate the skin and deliver radiofrequency energy. The treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as warm with a light pressure or prickling feeling.

What is the downtime or recovery?

Expect mild redness and swelling for 1–3 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Some patients may experience light flaking or dryness as the skin renews. You can usually resume normal activities the next day. Sun protection is critical during recovery.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Initial improvements can be seen in 1–2 weeks, with continued improvement over 3 months as collagen remodeling occurs. A series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart provides the best results. Results can last 12–18 months with proper skincare and sun protection.

Who performs the procedure?

RF Microneedling treatments at Spectrum Skin Clinic are performed by licensed medical professionals under the supervision of Dr. Sabeen Munib. Your treatment is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals using advanced, safe RF microneedling technology.
