What is Sylfirm X and How Does it Work?
Sylfirm X is the world’s first and only FDA-approved dual-wave radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device, designed to address both current and future patient needs. It uniquely combines ultra-short pulsed wave (PW) mode and continuous wave (CW) mode, offering a versatile solution for effective, tailored skin rejuvenation treatments. This advanced technology ensures optimal results for a wide range of skin concerns, both now and in the future.
It utilizes bipolar radiofrequency with non-insulated needles to heat the dermis in a precise manner, stimulating collagen production for tighter, younger-looking skin. The treatment targets the dermis, generating mechanical and thermal energy to cause a wound-healing response, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.
Benefits of Sylfirm X for Acne Scars and Skin Texture
Sylfirm X helps with multiple skin rejuvenation benefits, including lifting the skin, enhancing collagen and elastin production, and minimizing scars and pore size. It is effective in treating acne scars, skin laxity, fine lines, stretch marks, and pigmentation concerns. The treatment can also aid in skin tightening, reducing the appearance of damaged skin cells and promoting overall skin health.
Who is a Good Candidate for Sylfirm X?
Sylfirm X is best suited for healthy nonsmokers with mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, stretch marks, acne scars, or pigmentation issues. Sylfirm X can be used on all skin types, making it a versatile treatment option. However, patients with certain medical conditions or taking specific medications may not be suitable candidates.
The Sylfirm X Treatment Process
The actual microneedling portion of Sylfirm treatments typically takes one hour, or less depending on the size and number of treatment areas. Numbing cream is applied, which takes 30 minutes to take effect, and then the procedure begins. Patients may feel some pressure, a warm, tingling sensation, and a mild prickling sensation during the treatment.
Preparing for Sylfirm X and Aftercare
Patients are advised to avoid certain medications and topicals before treatment and to stop using irritating products for at least five days before treatment. After treatment, a layer of exosomes is are applied to the treated area to reduce swelling, redness, and bumps. Patients are advised to cleanse and moisturize the skin twice a day and to avoid direct sunlight for 30 days after treatment.
Side Effects and Risks Associated with Sylfirm X
Common side effects include milddiscomfort, redness, swelling, and bumps.. Most patients experience minimal to no side effects, but may experience redness, swelling, or sensitivity. We recommend a gentle cleanser, skipping makeup for 24 hours.
Combining Sylfirm X with Other Treatments and Pricing
Sylfirm X can be combined with other treatments, such as resurfacing treatments, to enhance results. Patients with hyperpigmentation and melasma can opt to combine treatments on the same day. Please contact the office for pricing and to schedule a consultation.
Results and Longevity
Results from Sylfirm X are visible fairly quickly, with improvements in skin quality and reduced fine lines and enlarged pores within the first few weeks. Acne scars may show improvement within a month, and pigmentation concerns may take two months to show progress. Improvements in areas like skin tightening, which are enhanced by collagen production, may take up to 3 months to fully show results. The best outcomes are typically seen after a series of three treatments.
