Candela’s Sublative radiofrequency (RF) applicator is designed to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin in a fractional manner, via an array of multi-electrode pins. The array delivers fractionated bi-polar RF energy into the upper dermis.
Microscopic zones of epidermis and dermis are thermally ablated in a grid over the skin surface, where non-ablated zones serve as a reservoir of cells that promote rapid healing and encourage the collagen production, with minimal epidermal disruption.
