Elos Sublative Resurfacing

Fractional bipolar radiofrequency treatment designed to improve acne scars, fine lines, stretch marks and uneven texture with limited surface disruption.

How Sublative works

An array of multi-electrode pins delivers fractionated bipolar radiofrequency into the upper dermis. Microscopic treatment zones are created in a grid while surrounding untreated tissue supports the healing response.

What it may treat

  • Moderate to severe acne scars
  • Mild to moderate wrinkles
  • Uneven texture and enlarged pores
  • Selected stretch marks and red or brown spots

Fractional renewal

Deeper remodelling with controlled recovery.

Sublative treatment directs energy below the skin's surface to encourage collagen production while leaving reservoirs of untreated tissue between treatment points. This supports faster healing than treating the full surface uniformly.

Suitable across a range of skin types

Suitability, settings, recent sun exposure, medicines and pigment history need to be assessed before treatment.

For scarring and texture, read our scarring guide. Dermapen offers microneedling, while DermaMatrix Renewal combines Dermapen with fractional sublative treatment.

Treatment approach

Targeted energy below the surface.

Recovery and the number of sessions depend on treatment intensity, area and individual response.
