What Is Sublative & Sublime RF Skin Resurfacing?

Sublative & Sublime RF Skin Resurfacing is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses bi-polar radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate deep collagen remodeling and target common skin imperfections such as wrinkles, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and texture irregularities. Unlike traditional ablative methods, Sublative RF penetrates beneath the skin’s surface, delivering effective results with minimal damage to the outermost layer of the skin.

The treatment utilizes Candela’s patented Syneron technology, combining Sublative (fractional RF) and Sublime (infrared + RF) energy. This synergy boosts dermal regeneration while tightening and smoothing the skin. The result is a firmer, more youthful appearance — achieved safely and comfortably.

Sublative & Sublime RF is FDA-cleared for all skin types and tones, making it an excellent option for those seeking a non-laser, low-downtime solution to combat aging and textural concerns without sacrificing efficacy.
