The Sublime™ Skin Contouring procedure combines safe and effective levels of infrared light and bipolar radiofrequency energies to remodel the dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new collagen growth. This procedure allows patients to comfortably reduce the signs of aging and achieve a tighter-looking, more youthful appearance without downtime. Both laser and radiofrequency have been used separately for decades in medicine and surgery, but the Sublime Skin Contouring treatment combines infrared light and bipolar radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen remodeling, producing ideal treatment outcomes with a very low risk of side effects and virtually no downtime.
What Can Sublime Treat?
Sublime can safely treat a multitude of skin types for laxity, sagginess, loss of elasticity, or textural irregularities. Treatment can be done on the face, neck, or other areas of the body. Sublime Skin Contouring treatment can lift and smooth the contours of the eyes, brow lines cheeks, jowls and around the neck. Skin texture can also be smoothed out by the tightening and firming effect of treatment. This treatment is performed non-ablatively, which means this is a non-invasive procedure.
How Sublime Skin Contouring Works
Sublime Skin Contouring works by combining two popular skin tightening methods: radio frequency and infrared light. With deep electro-optical heating, the skin contracts and tightens, while stimulating collagen remodeling for at least 90 days. Long after your treatment, collagen production continues, so you will continue to see improvements in skin tone and contour as it becomes tighter and firmer.
