Subnovii MANUFACTURER NOTES
What is Subnovii®?
Subnovii® is an FDA-cleared advanced plasma technology device used in professional aesthetic settings. It delivers controlled plasma energy just above the surface of the skin to support skin rejuvenation, tightening, and the treatment of select benign skin concerns.
How does Subnovii® work?
Subnovii creates a small, controlled plasma arc that interacts with the outer layers of the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response and collagen remodeling without cutting or removing large areas of tissue.
Is Subnovii® a laser?
No. Subnovii is not a laser and does not use light-based energy. It uses advanced plasma technology, making it a non-laser alternative for certain skin rejuvenation treatments.
What areas can be treated?
Subnovii is commonly used on delicate areas such as the upper and lower eyelids, around the mouth, face, neck, and other targeted areas where precision is important. Treatment areas will be determined during your consultation.
Does the treatment hurt?
Comfort levels vary by patient and treatment area. A topical numbing agent is typically applied prior to treatment to enhance comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as tolerable and brief.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment area and intensity. Mild swelling, redness, and small carbon crusts may be present for several days. These are a normal part of the healing process and typically resolve as the skin recovers.
How many treatments will I need?
Some patients see improvement after a single session, while others may benefit from additional treatments depending on their skin condition and goals. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan.
When will I see results?
Initial improvements may be visible once healing is complete. Continued improvement can occur over several weeks as collagen remodeling takes place.
Is Subnovii® safe?
Subnovii is an FDA-cleared medical device and treatments are performed using single-use disposable tips in accordance with established clinical protocols. When performed by trained professionals, it is considered a safe and effective aesthetic option for appropriate candidates.
Who is not a candidate for Subnovii®?
Subnovii may not be appropriate for individuals who are pregnant, have certain skin conditions, active infections, or are prone to abnormal scarring. A consultation is required to determine candidacy.
What should I expect after treatment?
Post-treatment care instructions and professional aftercare products will be provided to support healing. It’s important to follow all aftercare guidelines to optimize results and recovery.
