Sylfirm X FAQs

Sylfirm X uses Regional Regeneration Radio Repeated Pulse (RP) microneedling to target and treat the abnormal vessels that can lead to melasma, rosacea, and other skin discolorations. With the help of many micro electrodes, an electromagnetic field of energy is created that can penetrate the dermal layer without damaging the tissue.

A robotic system ensures the precise application of the evenly-layered electrodes to reach the desired depth during treatment. By covering all dermal layers, microneedling treatments are faster, more effective, and more comfortable for patients. Additionally, practitioners can choose from eight modes depending on the goals of the treatment.

Benefits of Sylfirm X:

  • Quick treatments and minimal discomfort for patients
  • Treatment improves skin laxity, vascular pigmentation, appearance of scars, skin texture and tone, and skin rejuvenation

Sylfirm X is so versatile it can be used for most patients, but there are some criteria that would keep a patient from being a good candidate. The following conditions would preclude you from being eligible for Sylfirm X at this time. If you…

  •     Are on Accutane for acne
  •     Have an active cold sore breakout
  •     Have a skin infection
  •     Have active psoriasis or eczema
  •     Are receiving chemotherapy
  •     Are receiving radiation therapy
  •     Are pregnant
  •     Are taking anticoagulants
  •     Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring

Because we’re using Sylfirm X to treat so many different skin issues, there isn’t a set number of treatments. Skin rejuvenation through the RF microneedling provides permanent increases in collagen in the dermis, but you must remember that with each passing year our bodies produce less and less collagen. So, the increases we initiate basically only stem the tide. That makes it a good idea to continue Sylfirm X treatments as an ongoing maintenance treatment twice a year.

For issues such as age spots or rosacea, a single treatment may be all you feel you need. Again, repeat treatments can expand your results.

Some visible tightening results show immediately, as the collagen remodels in response to the microneedles and RF energy. But the larger improvements come as the skin initiates production of new collagen to send to the treatment areas in the classic wound-healing mechanism. Most patients feel they really begin to see improvement in their skin at about 4 weeks. These improvements continue to build for 6 months to a year.

We apply topical numbing cream prior to your Sylfirm X RF Microneedling session. You can feel a slight warming sensation as the RF energy enters the dermis, but patients don’t find it to be painful.

Your skin can feel tight and a little sensitive. You can apply an ice pack to the area to calm this. The microscopic punctures break down your skin’s texture and initiate new skin cell and collagen production, but this also breaks down the skin’s sun protection. For at least six weeks after your Sylfirm X treatment, you need to protect your skin with SPF 30+ sunscreen and clothing.

For skin care, avoid harsh cleansers and scrubbing for a few days. Avoid any exfoliants for the same period. If it is possible, avoid applying makeup for 24 hours.

In traditional microneedling, the microneedles penetrate the epidermis down into the dermis, and this triggers the wound-healing response sought after in so many aesthetic treatments. But Sylfirm X adds radiofrequency energy, and this makes the difference. 

When the Sylfirm X microneedles penetrate the skin down into the dermis at the depth we’ve set (different areas of the face require different penetration depths), the system delivers the short pulses of radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis layer when the microneedles are at their maximum depth. This is important because the RF energy doesn’t have to pass through the outer epidermis, so the energy levels can be increased without fear of damaging the outer skin. 

How does this improve the skin? When RF energy enters the dermis, it converts instantly into heat energy. That’s the key because when the body senses heat in the dermis it believes a wound has occurred and it responds with a wound-healing mechanism. This involves immediate remodeling of existing collagen in the area. This immediately tightens the skin, breaks down texture problems, and works to shrink large pores. But more importantly, new production of collagen is initiated to heal the perceived wounds. The reality is, however, that the microscopic punctures created by the microneedles heal in just a couple hours. Still, the skin now has increased collagen production for a period of weeks. This thickens the skin, increases firmness, and tightens the treatment areas. 

Radiofrequency is a type of thermal energy that permeates the epidermis to land in the deeper layers of the skin. It is here where the effects of aging and sun damage transform into concerns like dark spots, red spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. When treated with radiofrequency energy, the dermis wakes up. It resumes a more robust production of collagen, elastin, and tissue-repairing substances.

Yes! This is one of the aspects of this RF microneedling treatment that is so advantageous! Sylfirm targets the dermis while sparing epidermal tissue, which means there's a lower risk of unwanted pigment changes. Sylfirm is appropriate even for darker skin tones.

Sylfirm isn't the first, nor the only, RF microneedling treatment available today. That doesn't mean it works in the exact ways that other devices do. Using Sylfirm, providers are able to treat a wider variety of concerns in a broader range of skin types and tones. Specifically, clinical research has shown that Sylfirm RF microneedling can resolve the persistent, frustrating problem of melasma, even in darker skin tones. Additionally, it can safely and effectively treat the delicate skin around the eyes.

The eye area is notoriously more sensitive than other areas of the face. Sylfirm can address this area more comfortably because the applicator for this device does not feature coated micro-needles. Having uncoated, or uninsulated, needles means that the thermal energy emitted by the device enters the skin from the full length of the needles, not just the end. This form of delivery extends the overall surface exposure, thereby reducing discomfort. Because the uncoated needle tips reach a wider area, Sylfirm treatment may reach maximum efficiency with just one pass over the skin.

The Sylfirm device also features a pulse-wave mode in which the radiofrequency energy can target damaged skin cells without disturbing adjacent tissue. The Selective Regional Regeneration Radio, SR3 and Repeated Pulse technology can target issues like hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and melasma while promoting the regeneration of the foundational dermal tissue.

The eye area is a common region to exhibit the signs of aging. Because eyelid tissue is so delicate, it can weaken and thin more quickly and also be more susceptible to damage from cosmetic treatments. Outside of eyelid rejuvenation surgery, it's imperative that a provider have the right technology and techniques for addressing issues like loose undereye skin, crow's feet, and fine lines. Sylfirm offers the advancements that are optimal for this area. The Sylfirm device is adjustable from .3mm to 4 mm, allowing your provider to customize your facial rejuvenation across a variety of areas, including the eyelids.
