With our level of technology these days , when it comes to beauty treatments, it’s almost impossible not to find a solution to our skin problems. I remember friends who have serious problems with their acne and pitted scars, now as long as they have budget to pay for the treatments, achieving flawless skin is no longer impossible.
Opening Remarks and Introduction: Ms. Jenna from Spectrumed
Sublative and Sublime, these two treatments are what you need for complete facial rejuvenation.
How does Sublative™ work?
The ergonomic Sublative™ applicator delivers bipolar radio frequency energy via a matrix of electrodes in the disposable applicator tip.
This fractional delivery of RF energy causes micro- epidermal ablative injuries with wider spread dermal injury. This initiates a strong wound healing response in the dermal matrix while also minimizing the damage to the epidermis. Less affected tissue surrounding the matrix points may be stimulated by heat which helps accelerate the healing process, leading to a smoother, rejuvenated appearance of the skin. Mild to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discoloration are reduced, and skin texture becomes more smooth and elastic.
Can all areas be treated?
The Sublative RF applicator comes with multiple tip configurations for various treatment protocols – 64 pin tips for fast full face improved skin tone and texture, as well as the 44 pin tip for smaller areas and focused treatments of under-eye laxity, wrinkles around the mouth and forehead wrinkles.
How many treatments are recommended?
Typically 3 – 5 treatments, 4 – 6 weeks apart. The total number of required treatment sessions depends on the skin condition of the patient.
How is the Sublative™ treatment tolerated by patients?
During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation. After treatment a pink or “sunburn” appearance and feeling is common.
Topical anaesthetic and cooling are often used to reduce discomfort during treatment.
Is there downtime?
There is minimal downtime with a maximum expected downtime of 2 or 3 days. Most patients can quickly resume their normal activities immediately post treatment.
Dr. Jonathan Nevin T. Yu , M.D. showing us the Sublime Machine and how it works.
Sublime uses the proven elo- s combination of predictable and effective levels of infrared light and bipolar radio frequency energies to provide controlled deep dermal heating which remodels the dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new collagen growth.
Does it hurt?
Sublime™ is a gentle, comfortable treatment requiring virtually no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after the treatment.
Cooling of the skin’s surface provides enhanced safety and additional comfort.
How often are treatments done?
Typically between 3 – 5 sessions approximately 4 weeks apart. The best results are seen 3 – 6 months post completion with maintenance approximately every 6 months.
When can the patient expect to see results?
Most patients see an immediate and cumulative results throughout the Sublime™ treatments.
The total number of required treatment sessions depends on the patient’s skin condition.
When can patients expect to see results?
Immediately post treatment, they may notice tone and texture improvements as a result of increased levels of
aged collagen fibres and stimulates new collagen synthesis, resulting in the immediate and long term improvement of wrinkles and facial contour with a very low risk of side effects and virtually no downtime.
Sublime™ can improve sagginess of the face, neck and some body areas such as the abdomen or upper arms. Skin texture can also be smoothed out by the firming effect of treatment. This treatment is performed non-ablatively, which means this is a non-invasive procedure. Most people leave the treatment office with only slight pinkness or no pinkness at all.
Treatment can be done on the face, neck, or other areas of the body.

eTwo combines the unique Sublime and Sublative applications for comprehensive facial rejuvenation:
• Sublime™ for skin firming, uses the well-known and proven elo-s technology – a combination of predictable and effective levels of infrared light and bi-polar radio frequency energies to remodel the deep dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new collagen growth.
• Sublative™ for skin rejuvenation, uses fractionated bipolar radio-frequency technology places the heat energy effectively into the upper dermis where it can produce a significant increase in both collagen and elastin with minimal epidermal disruption.
eTwo’s applications provide for a wide range of treatments—both fine and deep wrinkle treatments, improved texture, tone, laxity, acne scars, scars and striae.
