What is the Difference Between Sublative and Sublime Matrix Treatments?

Though both of these procedures on the Elos Plus by Candela use bipolar radio-frequency and infrared heat they are quite different.  At our practice we use them together to refine and tighten the skin using each hand piece.  In addition, the Elos Plus has an IPL hand piece which does photo facials reducing the appearance of brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, fine lines/wrinkles and large pores.  Topping it off with laser hair removal is the new GOLD standard in skin care.Hope that helps.  Good luck.

Sublime Laser treatment combines laser light energy with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the production of new collagen growth—helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity while smoothing texture and enhancing natural radiance. This treatment requires absolutely no downtime.Sublative Laser is effective on all skin types and tones, Sublative rejuvenation is a deeper treatment that fights fine lines and wrinkles, eradicates acne scars, and improves overall texture. Sublative rejuvenation harnesses the power of energy currents to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production (while keeping the outer layer of skin intact). Depending on the selected course of treatment, downtime can vary from two to five days—which can be customized to fit your schedule and your needs.

Sublative treatment with RF energy has been time tested and works quite well in treating acne scars in all skin types. I have used it successfully to treat boxed scars, rolling scars and some acne scars that have the 'adequate' depth to with ratios.Best,Dr. Karamanoukian
