Matrix Pro is a newer RF (radiofrequency) microneedling applicator/modal­ity from Candela.

One device. All skin types. All skin resurfacing.

Here are its key technical features:

·   Needle‑Array: It uses ultra‑thin, insulated microneedles (about 0.16 mm diameter), which are among the thinnest on the market.

·   Depth Customization: Can deliver energy to up to 3 different depths (adjustable, roughly ~0.8 mm to 3.5 mm) in a single insertion (“in one pass”) so multiple layers of skin can be treated simultaneously.

·       “Depth Intelligence” & Real‑Time Impedance Monitoring: The device measures tissue impedance (resistance) in real time to adapt the RF energy/pulse settings—this helps ensure consistent energy delivery, avoid under‑ or overtreatment, and avoid damage to deeper tissue (for example fat) if not intended.

·       Short‑pulse RF energy with each needle insertion (“stamp”) to deliver heat in a controlled fashion without over‑heating or prolonged damage.

·       FDA Clearance / Indications: Matrix Pro is FDA‑cleared for percutaneous treatment of facial wrinkles (for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I‑IV) in addition to general dermatologic procedures.
