Matrix™ RF is an advanced microneedling system from Candela designed to treat, maintain, and rejuvenate skin throughout the aging process. This treatment is ideal for non-surgical facelifts, skin tightening, and reducing the appearance of acne scars.
It combines the Matrix Pro® and Sublative™ RF applicators to deliver personalized treatments that resurface the skin, reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and strengthen the skin’s underlying structure.
La Vitalité Med Spa is a leading provider of Matrix Pro Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling in Toronto.
Benefits
What is Matrix?
Build new collagen, resurface your skin, and treat fine lines and wrinkles with the Matrix™ device, a minimally invasive aesthetic approach designed to improve overall skin appearance and texture.
The Matrix system uses the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy and RF microneedling to take treatments to the next level.
RF treatments deliver energy to deep layers of the skin stimulating collagen production, and promoting younger, fuller-looking skin, while microneedling treatments use very fine, sterile needles to prompt a natural, collagen-stimulating healing process that corrects flaws and improves skin quality.
Together, the combination of both treatment types allows deep penetration of RF energy delivery during treatment, prompting the body’s natural healing response and the stimulation of collagen.
Why Choose RF Microneedling Over Traditional Microneedling?
While both methods stimulate collagen through controlled micro-injuries, RF microneedling offers enhanced benefits that deliver faster and more noticeable results:
- Delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to boost collagen and elastin production for longer-lasting rejuvenation
- Uses ultra-fine insulated needles for precise energy delivery with minimal surface damage
- Fewer sessions needed to achieve visible improvements, saving time and cost
- Stimulates long-term production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid to improve firmness, hydration, and overall skin quality
How it Works
Featuring the all-new Matrix Pro®, Sublime™, and Sublative™ RF applicators, the Matrix system can treat multiple skin conditions.
Matrix Pro® RF Microneedling
Restore skin with the all-new Matrix Pro treatments. Combining the power of short-pulse RF energy and microneedling, the Matrix Pro applicator creates a new dimension of aesthetic treatments.
With adjustable depths and real-time feedback, we can customize treatments to target your skin concerns, creating new collagen for smooth, younger-looking skin while improving overall skin appearance and texture.
Sublime™
Maintain skin health with Sublime™ treatments. Sublime treatments are needle-less and noninvasive, designed to shorten aged collagen fibers to treat the overall appearance of wrinkles, resulting in a smoother skin appearance.
This “red carpet” treatment is perfect before your next big event and can deliver marked improvement after just one session.
Sublative™ RF
Correct skin health with Sublative™ RF treatments. Delivering bipolar RF energy to the skin, Sublative™ RF treatments are designed to stimulate new collagen growth, treat the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and resurface the skin.
Exceptional results, but without the extended downtime of other skin resurfacing treatments.
Is Matrix RF Right for You?
Matrix RF is a great option if you’re looking to improve your skin without surgery or downtime. You may be a strong candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity or visible signs of aging such as fine lines or loss of firmness, but don’t yet need a surgical lift
- Are experiencing loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy and want a non-invasive way to tighten and tone (not suitable during pregnancy)
- Want to boost collagen production to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall quality over time
- Prefer a non-surgical treatment that fits easily into your routine, with minimal discomfort and no recovery time
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations, understanding that results vary based on your age, skin condition, and lifestyle
Why Matrix™ Pro RF Sets the Gold Standard in RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling has become a cornerstone of non-surgical skin rejuvenation, but not all devices are created equal. Matrix™ RF sets itself apart with industry-first features that prioritize patient comfort, treatment precision, and efficiency.
Unlike other leading devices, Matrix™ Pro RF offers the thinnest needles on the market, automated multi-depth treatment in a single pass, and real-time feedback for consistently optimal results.
| Feature | Matrix™ Pro RF | Other Devices Infini RF, Potenza, Fractora RF, Morpheus8 |
| Needle Thickness | Thinnest on the market (0.16 mm diameter) | Thicker needles, less comfort |
| Patient Comfort | Enhanced by ultra-thin, chamfered needles | More discomfort due to thicker needles |
| Multi-Depth Treatment Efficiency | Treats up to 3 skin depths in a single pass, faster sessions | More time-consuming, multiple passes needed |
| Depth of Penetration | Adjustable, 0.8–3.5 mm, up to 3 depths per pass | Typically 0.5–4.0 mm, but usually one depth per pass |
| Depth Intelligence™ Technology | Real-time feedback and adaptive skin monitoring | Lacks automated real-time depth/energy feedback |
| Downtime | Minimal due to precise, less traumatic insertion | Variable, often more downtime |
