The Sub-Z is an innovative cooling device manufactured by Zimmer that used in conjunction with cosmetic treatments to enhance comfort and results. By delivering targeted cooling to the skin’s surface, Sub-Z helps to reduce discomfort, minimize redness, and protect the skin during procedures like laser treatments, microneedling, and injectables. This cooling technology allows for safer, more effective treatments with reduced downtime.

Sub-Z utilizes advanced cryotherapy technology to deliver controlled cooling directly to the treatment area. This cooling process numbs the skin’s surface, reduces inflammation, and minimizes the risk of thermal injury during treatments that use heat or energy, such as lasers or radiofrequency. By keeping the skin cool, Sub-Z allows for more precise and comfortable treatments.

Yes, the Sub-Z is safe and suitable for all skin types. Whether you have sensitive skin or are concerned about potential side effects, the Sub-Z can help minimize any risks, making your experience more pleasant and effective.

Sub-Z is a versatile device that can be used in conjunction with a wide range of cosmetic procedures, including laser treatments, microneedling, injectables, and radiofrequency therapies. We currently pair Sub-Z with our Suprema, Ultra, and Mosaic 3D devices. Our dermatologist will recommend the use of Sub-Z based on your specific treatment plan and skin needs. We also consider Sub-Z with injectables like Botox or Restylane in certain cases.

After a treatment that includes the Sub-Z device, you can expect reduced redness, swelling, and discomfort compared to treatments without cooling. The cooling effect of Sub-Z helps to calm the skin and speed up recovery, meaning you can return to your normal activities more quickly. Side effects are minimal and typically limited to the specific treatment you’re receiving, as the Sub-Z itself does not add significant risks.
