Sylfirm X RF Microneedling

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device with specially insulated needles to deliver high-intensity radiofrequency (RF) energy into the targeted tissue. The combination of the needles and gentle radiofrequency heating stimulates the body to produce more collagen and elastic fibers. Collagen renewal restores health to the skin, improving texture and tone while minimizing aging symptoms and other skin imperfections.

At Carolina Facial Plastics, we also offer Profound® RF and VirtueRF devices in addition to the brand new Sylfirm X RF.

Sylfirm X is an advanced microneedling treatment that features the latest innovation in RP (repeated ultra-short pulse) microneedling technology. It is the world’s first and only FDA-approved dual-wave radio frequency microneedling system that combines traditional microneedling with repeated, ultra-short pulses of radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production.

Unlike other RF treatments, Sylfirm X only targets visible blood vessels and select tissue to address pigmentation and vascular lesions. With this advanced technology, the device can safely treat neovascular concerns, including hard-to-treat conditions like rosacea and melasma, without causing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The high-precision treatment can treat multiple skin concerns with little discomfort and no significant downtime.

Sylfirm X is a safe and effective treatment for the following skin concerns:

• Lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Acne and acne scars
• Other types of scars
• Stretch marks
• Skin tone and texture
• Mild skin laxity
• Double chin
• Eye bags
• Sagging eyelids
• Hand wrinkles
• Facial flushing/redness
• Melasma
• Rosacea

Many patients enjoy these benefits after their Sylfirm treatment:

• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Lifts and tightens skin
• Produces firmer and younger-looking skin
• Improves acne scarring
• Creates smoother and clearer skin
• Offers a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment
• Requires little time to complete
• Involves little discomfort and almost no recovery time
• Provides a safe option for all skin types and tones

Numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure a more comfortable experience. The Sylfirm X device is passed over the treatment area to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. The needles that penetrate the skin deliver RF energy and RP (repeated ultra-short pulse) energy to the tissues to target skin concerns and trigger collagen and elastin production. Over time, skin becomes smoother, softer, and more supple.

The treatment takes about 20-30 minutes to complete.

After your treatment, you may experience mild redness and warmth in the treatment area. These should resolve within 24 hours. For 3-5 days, expect dry, peeling patches in your treatment areas as your skin heals and renews.

After 24 hours, you can wear makeup and return to your normal skincare routine.
