Sublative RF Fractional Resurfacing
Sublative RF Fractional Resurfacing
A fractional grid of radiofrequency channels, set into the dermis through minimal points of entry - resurfacing that works from underneath.
A controlled grid, not a continuous wound
Sublative delivers bipolar RF through an array of fine pins, each one creating a discrete column of thermal injury in the dermis while disturbing only a fraction of the epidermis above it. This is what makes it subablative: most of the surface stays closed, even as the tissue beneath is remodelled.
The patttern of columns trigger a ground-healing response across the treated area - new collagen and elastin are produced to repair each site, which is what improves texture, fine lines, and superficial pigment over the following weeks.
Treatment details
Duration: 60 minutes for numbing, 30 - 45 minutes for treatment
Course: 2 - 4 sessions, 4 - 6 weeks apart
Areas treated: Face, neck, decolletage - texture, fine lines, acne scarring, superficial pigment
Downtime: 2 - 4 days - pinpoint crusting and redness, makeup wearable once resolved
When results show: Progressively over 6 - 12 weeks per session, cumulative across the course.
Who it suits
For texture and surface irregularity, with a short recovery.
Sublative sits between non-ablative tightening and fully ablative laser resurfacing - meaningful remodelling, without the extended downtime.
Uneven texture, enlarged pores, or fine lines
Mild to moderate acne scarring
Superficial pigment irregularity
Those who can allow several days of visible recovery but not weeks
