The ETWO™ treatment combines Sublative Rejuvenation and Sublime Skin Contouring treatments. It utilizes radio-frequency energy (electrical as opposed to laser, which is light energy) to deliver an effective fractional and tightening treatment to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, pores and acne scarring. Treatment with ETWO™ revives your skin to appear more youthful.

It stimulates the skin to create collagen and improve elasticity, smooth out folds and iron out mild to moderate lines and wrinkles. This treatment is also excellent for skin of any color and has little down time or disruption of daily activities.

Sublime Skin Contouring is a treatment that combines infrared light with radiofrequency to firm skin as well as tighten lax skin. Sublime’s sister treatment, Sublative, is a Skin Rejuvenation treatment that evens out discoloured skin, scarring and repairs sun damage. Both can be performed in the same session to help your skin look it’s very best. Any discomfort experienced is minimal.

For optimum results, we recommend having at least 4 sessions, with each about 4-6 weeks apart.

How do I know if I need ETWO™?

ETWO™ is a treatment for those who would like to improve wrinkling and sagging of the skin, reducing pore size appearance, and diminish acne scarring and stretch marks.

How does ETWO™ work?

The ETWO™ combines the Sublative Rejuvenation and Sublime Skin Contouring treatments to reverse aging.

The Sublime Skin Contouring treatment uses the combination of light energy and radiofrequency energy to deeply heat layers of the skin while protecting the surface of the skin simultaneously. Medium to deep heating of the skin activates fibroblasts (deep skin cells) signaling new collagen to form and existing collagen to tighten, which will occur over a 4-6 month period.

The Sublative Rejuvenation treatment uses radio frequency to deliver an effective but controlled fractional treatment. Each pulse delivers the energy via a grid of matrix spots on the surface as well as just under the surface. Fibroblasts (skin cells that produce collagen) are activated within the treated zones signal collagen to regenerate and remodel, yielding improved skin tone and texture. The surrounding tissue of the untreated areas support and accelerate the healing process of the skin.

What benefits can I expect?

The benefits include smoother and brighter skin, with smaller appearing pores, less scarring and finer and less deep wrinkles. In addition, lax skin will be tighter as well as firmer. Typically results become noticeable over a period of three to six months but some patients have seen results immediately after treatment.

What are the risks and side effects?

The procedure is mildly uncomfortable. Sublime Skin Contouring is comfortable, whereas the Sublative Rejuvenation treatment requires topical anesthetic, which makes it quite tolerable. Expected side effects are redness and swelling after the procedure that lasts an average of 5-6 days. Small scabs covering about 5% of the treated areas appear, but they are usually easy to cover with makeup, and although present for 5-7 days, are usually not very noticeable after the first day or two. Rare side effects include skin wound, infection and scarring, too little or too much pigment, and surface irregularities.

How will I look after the treatment?

Most patients have redness and swelling with Sublative Rejuvenation for a few hours to 5 days after the treatment (occasionally it can last longer). You may apply make-up to the treated area immediately after the Sublative Rejuvenation procedure. Tiny crusts develop and are present for about 5-7 days, but these are easy to camouflage with makeup or even without it after the first one to two days. Results will develop over time and with subsequent treatments. Full results can be appreciated at three to six months following the last treatment. Maintenance treatments may be necessary.
