Sylfirm X - Dual Mode
Radio Frequency Microneedling

RF Microneedling is an energy-based volumizing treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture and firmness. RF Microneedling improves the skin by collagen stimulation. This non-invasive treatment is minimally painful and provides drastic improvements to the skin with minimal downtime. Sylfirm X is the only FDA cleared dual wave RF microneedling device with both ultra-short pulsed wave mode (PW) and continuous wave mode.  Pulse wave mode provides shorter pulse duration to target pigmentation or blood vessels, while the continuous wave mode is ideal for collagen remodeling. Both modes can lead to overall improvement of the skin .Due to its unique modes, SylfirmX is safe and effective on all skin types for a broad range of skin concerns.  â€‹

 

HOW DOES RF MICRONEEDLING WORK? 

Sylfirm X has two distinct modes: ultra-short pulsed wave mode (PW) and continuous wave mode

 

The RF microneedling utilizes fine needles to create controlled damage to the skin, producing a series of tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. Fractional radiofrequency heat is simultaneously delivered to the layers of the skin through the micro-needle created punctures, which act as delivery channels. 

 

Ultra-short pulsed wave mode (PW) creates a “selective” targeting of ONLY abnormal blood vessels and tissue with “overactive” pigment production to selectively treat hyperpigmentation and redness. Pulsed Wave also helps to strengthen the Basement Membrane. The basement membrane of the skin provide structural support to the skin and aids in regulating skin cell growth and repair. This mode is commonly used to treated conditions such as melasma, Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, redness/rosacea, acne and more

 

In the continuous wave mode, Energy is released through the 300 micron needle tips which are able to target a precise depth. Sylfirm X can penetrate the skin between 0.3mm to 4mm. With each penetration, the 300 micron needles remain in the skin for the optimal time required to bring about an effect before any thermal damage can occur.

The energy emitted strengthens and improves skin health by repairing damaged skin cells, blood vessels, and remodeling skin collagen through the increase in the production of collagen and elastin.  These combined efforts stimulate the skin’s natural healing pathways  resulting in more youthful appearing skin.

 

HOW DOES RF MICRONEEDLING DIFFER FROM MICRONEEDLING?

 

Adding radiofrequency energy induces a greater amount of controlled skin injury which creates higher levels of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid compared to microneedling alone.

 

WHAT CAN RF MICRONEEDLING IMPROVE?  RF microneedling can be used on the face and body to improve skin health and texture. The most common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, abdomen, knees, and thighs.  There are a variety of indications for RF microneedling including:

  •   Lines and wrinkles

  •  Skin laxity (sagging)

  •  Facial Tightening/Lifting

  •  Eyelid skin tightening/

  • Eyebrow Lifting

  •  Sun damage

  •  Age spots

  •  Acne/Acne Scarring

  •  Scars

  •  Skin tone and texture issues

  •  Enlarged large pores

  •  Stretch marks

  •  Melasma/Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

  •  Syringomas

  •  Double Chin/Neck Fullness

  •  Hair Restoration

  •  Rosacea/Facial Redness

​

The treatment typically takes 10-30 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Numbing cream is applied an hour before the procedure. Most patients need 3-4 sessions over 3-6 months, depending on their specific concerns and expectations. Results are achieved as your body remodels and stimulates its own collagen. Typically, optimal results are achieved, on average, after 6 months.
