Sublative Laser
Your Path to Smooth, Youthful Perfection
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Sublative Laser Work?
Sublative eMatrix uses fractional bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy rather than traditional laser light to rejuvenate the skin. The device features a specialized tip with a grid of 64 multi electrode pins, delivering radio frequency energy in a precise dot matrix pattern. This grid-like pattern of energy delivery targets deeper layers and specific layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production and elastin growth while keeping the outermost layer of skin intact.
The eMatrix system focuses on dermal heating by delivering RF energy beneath the skin’s surface, preserving the skin’s outermost layer and leaving the skin intact. These controlled micro-injuries created by the multi electrode pins stimulate your body’s natural healing process, resulting in new skin cell growth, increased collagen and elastin production, and effective skin resurfacing with less damage to surrounding tissue and reduced downtime compared to traditional lasers.
What Skin Concerns Can Sublative Laser Treat?
Sublative is commonly used to improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Other scarring
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
Mild skin laxity
Age spots
Various skin concerns such as acne, brown spots, and skin laxity
Sublative RF treatments are safe for all skin types and tones.
The eMatrix system helps reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, which is especially important for darker skin tones.
Because RF energy penetrates deeper into the skin, Sublative rejuvenates from the inside out rather than focusing only on the surface.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Sublative Laser?
Sublative can be used on:
Face
Neck
Décolletage
Hands
Treatment areas are selected based on where collagen stimulation will provide the most noticeable improvement.
What Are the Benefits of Sublative Laser?
Sublative offers:
Smoother skin texture
Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
Improved acne scarring
Minimized pores
Enhanced skin firmness and elastin growth
Stimulates collagen production for improved skin rejuvenation and overall appearance
Tightens and strengthens the skin by promoting natural skin regeneration and reducing signs of aging
A more youthful, radiant complexion with overall skin rejuvenation
Faster recovery compared to traditional laser treatments
Regular maintenance treatments that help prolong results
It’s a minimally invasive option for patients who want meaningful skin improvement without extended downtime.
When Can I Expect to See Results from Sublative Laser?
Clients can expect visible results from Sublative Laser treatment, with initial improvements in skin texture and tone appearing within a few weeks. Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 72 hours after treatment, and the skin may look pink or red for one to two days. Recovery time is minimal, allowing for a quick return to daily activities compared to more invasive procedures. Texture changes may include tiny grid-like crusts or scabs that flake off within 5–14 days, and darker skin types may notice tiny micro-crusts where the energy entered their skin for up to 5 days. Results will continue to develop as collagen production increases, with optimal results developing over 3 to 6 months. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve your desired results, typically 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Am I a Good Candidate for Sublative Laser?
Sublative is a great option if you want to improve skin texture, wrinkles, or acne scarring with minimal downtime.
It is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones.
You may not be a candidate if you:
Are pregnant
Have active skin infections
Have certain medical conditions
A consultation will help determine whether Sublative is appropriate for your skin and goals.
How Is Sublative Different from Traditional Laser Resurfacing?
Traditional laser treatments use light energy to remove or damage the outer layers of skin, resurfacing the skin to improve imperfections.
In contrast, sublative RF (also known as sublative radiofrequency) is a non-invasive, radiofrequency-based skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen production beneath the surface while preserving much of the skin barrier.
Sublative RF treatments are considered safer for all skin types compared to traditional ablative lasers.
This results in:
Less downtime
Lower risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation
Safer treatment for darker skin tones
More gradual, natural-looking improvement
