How Does It Work?

Sublative works by directing fractional radiofrequency energy beneath the surface of the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing and collagen-building response. Sublime uses infrared light and RF energy to gently heat the dermis, resulting in tighter and smoother skin.
A full face session usually takes 30 – 45 minutes, and you might experience a warm sensation or mild-moderate redness, which typically settles within a day or two.

Who Is It For?

ELOS is suitable for most skin types and is perfect for clients wanting to improve skin tone, texture, firmness, and early signs of ageing. It’s safe for both lighter and deeper complexions and can be used on most areas including the face, neck, hands or decolletage.
Those with active acne, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions may need to postpone treatment, we’ll guide you through suitability during your consultation.

What to Expect

The treatment is quick, with most sessions done in under an hour. You may feel a prickling or warmth as the RF energy works beneath the skin.
Post-treatment, expect mild redness or a sandpaper-like texture for a few days, which is part of the natural healing process. There’s some downtime and mineral makeup can usually be worn 48 hours post treatment if your clinician agrees. As collagen builds over time, you’ll see smoother, firmer skin in the weeks following treatment, with best results after a series of treatments.
