Sublative ® Fractional Resurfacing

Tired of deep wrinkles, acne scarring, or other textural irregularities? Our Sublative Fractional Resurfacing treatment safely, gently and effectively resurfaces your skin from the inside out. The unique combination of ablation and skin rejuvenation leads to wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, improved texture and even skin tone with minimal social downtime. It is a great treatment for all skin types.

The procedure is quick with minimal risks, side effects or discomfort. RF energy is precisely directed to the skin in the form of electrodes.

Because Sublative® Rejuvenation is safe for most skin types, it is a good option for most clients. During your consultation, you and your technician will determine whether it is the best skin-rejuvenation treatment for you.

Most clients choose to have Sublative® elos Plus RF treatments on their faces. However, some also have treatments on their necks and chests. The lips cannot be treated using Sublative® Rejuvenation.

After a Sublative® Rejuvenation treatment, it is not uncommon to have some redness and swelling in the treated area. It should begin to improve after about three days. Your technician will provide you with products to apply to your skin, which will help with the healing process.

After approximately one to three days, small pinpoint crusts will appear in treatment areas where the elos Plus RF tip contacted your skin. Not to worry! They will exfoliate naturally and if you wish, you can cover them up with makeup.
