What is Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X is an FDA-approved treatment that combines radio frequency (RF) and microneedling to safely and effectively address multiple skin issues. Sylfirm X can help with pigmentation, wrinkles, redness, acne scarring, large pores and dull skin, helping you achieve your desired complexion.

The treatment works by penetrating the outermost skin layer with micro needles and RF waves. These trigger your skin’s natural healing process, resulting in enhanced collagen production and skin regeneration with no downtime and minimal pain.

Sylfirm X has dual wave radio frequency (continuous wave and pulsed wave) capabilities, 8 different modes and the widest depth range of needle of 0.3 – 4.0mm compared to other microneedling RF systems on the market. This allows treatment to be customised to different treatment sites and skin conditions.

How Does Sylfirm X Work?

Sylfirm X utilises microneedling radio frequency (RF) to target the papillary dermis underneath the superficial layer of the skin. This helps stimulate collagen regeneration, which improves skin elasticity, smoothens skin tone, decreases pigmentation and maximises the effects of collagen production.

Gold-plated micro needles produce controlled micro-injuries to the skin to trigger skin repair and collagen production, while breaking down scar tissue at the same time.

RF energy is then delivered to the skin through the micro needles, at a generated heat of 40-60°C. This causes coagulation and protein denaturation, leading to inflammation and contraction that stimulates the body’s natural wound healing response and promotes new collagen production.

How is Sylfirm X Treatment Performed?

Prior to treatment, numbing cream will be applied to ensure patient comfort. A stamping technique is used to smoothly insert the microneedles while preventing pain or bruising. RF energy is delivered deeply and more accurately to the target areas through the microneedles, which may feel like a warming sensation in the skin.

Sylfirm X treatment combines the benefits of both RF and microneedle, enabling it to effectively treat various indications and provide skin rejuvenation for younger, softer-looking skin.

What Can Sylfirm X Treat?

Sylfirm X can be used to treat a wide range of skin conditions ranging from

It can also be used on the body such as neck, double chin, décolletage and the scalp for hair regrowth.

Can the Sylfirm X Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Sylfirm X can be combined with other energy based devices or injectables for better results.

Who Is Suitable for Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X treatment is suitable for all skin types and a wide range of age groups and all genders as it has dual wave RF pulses, 8 different modes, and a wide microneedle depth range. This allows each treatment to be customised to the individual.

The Sylfirm X Device

Sylfirm X is a versatile skin rejuvenating treatment that targets skin concerns at various levels of skin depths thanks to its accurate electrodes, robotic system, and 3 distinct gold micro-needle types varying from 0.3-04 mm in depth. This heightens the control and precision of the treatment, allowing a medical professional to tailor it to an individual’s skin condition.

Its notable feature is that it can precisely target certain cells without damaging the tissues around it, resulting in effective treatment of skin conditions such as rosacea, melasma, skin laxity, acne scars, age spots, and more. 

To begin, the Cell Mode selectively targets cells within the skin’s dermal layer, stimulating the formation of collagen and elastin. The 8 distinct Pulsed Wave (PW) and Continuous Wave (CW) Modes can also help to remedy hyperpigmentation and loose skin.

A linear step motor improves therapeutic accuracy by ensuring that the microneedles are smoothly inserted into the skin without being pulled back roughly, lowering the chance of bruising, bleeding, and severe discomfort.

These needles are also insulated to shield non-targeted surrounding cells from the RF waves and heat, resulting in a smoother treatment and more pleasant experience overall.

Why Should You Choose Sylfirm X?

1. Chronic Pigmentation Selective Breakdown

In general, regular laser treatments only address concerns in the surface skin layers and don’t enter the deeper layers wherein pigments arise. Laser therapy usually produces only brief improvements, and repeated laser treatments might aggravate the problem. This could happen because of pigment darkening and permanent skin mottling. Sylfirm X, however, specifically targets areas of skin that are typically not able to be accessed by lasers, allowing it to destroy the anomalous cells in the skin without damaging the healthy skin around it.

2. Addresses Pigmentation with Little to No Downtime

Sylfirm X produces an electrothermal effect through a pulsed RF radiation. Sylfirm X is mainly used to treat chronic pigmentation, such as melasma and rosacea. Melasma pigments accumulate in numerous skin layers, making treatment challenging since it occurs for reasons apart from pigment buildup. Sylfirm X works on all skin layers, from top to bottom, targeting pigments of melanin, basement membrane, and aberrant blood vessels, all contributing to the aggravation of melasma. Microneedles are introduced into the skin during this treatment, which sends the electric field into the skin, immediately shattering the pigments of melanin and preferentially addressing the abnormal blood vessels.

3. Skin Lifting and Tightening

Sylfirm X stimulates collagen production in the dermis. The skin is lifted and tightened because of skin restructuring. This leads to fewer wrinkles, tighter skin, and smaller pores.

4. Enhancing Skin Brightness and Tone

Together with shattering dark pigments, Sylfirm X strengthens the skin’s foundation layers, decreasing melanin migration from the dermis to epidermis. It strengthens the epidermis, restores dermal vessels, and revitalises tissue in the skin. Aside from skin tone, it also brightens it and contributes to the overall radiance of your skin.

Sylfirm X is great for a broad range of genders and age groups as it features both short and long pulses that can be personalised to address various conditions. It’s also suitable for every skin type.

Numbing cream is applied prior to ensure a comfortable treatment experience.

Most patients find Sylfirm X treatment comfortable with no pain. Some may experience slight tingling sensation with a light pressure when the probe touches your skin. This feeling can vary, depending on the depth and area treated.

It’s normal to have some slight swelling and redness post-treatment, but it should fade within a few hours. Each Sylfirm X procedure will take half an hour and will be done with numbing cream to make the process easier and more convenient.

For the melasma treatment, the pigmented area will darken initially and then lighten within a week or two.

For acne scars, and skin tightening treatment on both the body and face, you should anticipate some mild swelling and redness that can last between one to five days.

Results to expect after Sylfirm X treatment:

  • Lightened pigments and melasma
  • Reduced fine line and wrinkles
  • Reduced rosacea, broken capillaries, facial flushing
  • Minimized pore size, more even and smoother skin texture
  • Less acne outbreaks and skin irritation (less reactive)
  • Improved skin tone, skin brightening effect
  • Collagen stimulation for an overall youthful looking skin

Sylfirm X will typically require 3-6 sessions, depending on individual skin condition and treatment areas.

Results for skin tone and texture can be seen immediately from a single session. Continual improvement is observed three months after each treatment session as the process of collagen regeneration increases over time.

You may resume back to daily activities immediately after the Sylfirm X session. Minimal side effects such as redness or mild swelling (at a more intense treatment setting) may occur before transitioning into a smoother, younger skin texture. Downtime is none to 3 days for most conditions.

Longer downtime can be observed for those treating acne scarring, as it requires treatment at deeper depths of the skin.

Many people wonder if Sylfirm X is a laser therapy. No, it’s not. Sylfirm X is not the same as laser therapy. It does, however, use (RF) radiofrequency technology.

Sylfirm X is unique since it does not damage the skin while addressing the underlying reason. Sylfirm X securely restores damaged epidermal areas by selective vascular coagulation while removing just the abnormal blood vessels without affecting the complexion.

The Sylfirm X procedure is generally safe for breastfeeding mothers in Singapore. However, if you are pregnant, we recommend that you defer your treatment until after delivery.

Sylfirm X can be performed together with other energy-based procedures and injectable treatments to target the different skin problems. These are the treatments that are often done concurrently with Sylfirm X at our clinics in Singapore:

Profhilo – for collagen building and overall skin rejuvenation

BTX treatments – for wrinkles and fine lines

HIFU or Ultherapy – for skin lifting and tightening

Pico Laser – for pores, scars, and skin hyperpigmentation

Fractional CO2 Laser – for scars and pores

A topical cream is usually prescribed to patients to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation and infection for the first few days.

Applying sun protection and moisturising products after Sylfirm X treatment is a must for faster recovery and to reduce side effects from occurring. Repairing and hydrating skincare products or sheet masks is also recommended.

You should also avoid skincare with active ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, and Retinols as it may irritate the skin.
