Sylfirm X Treatment Perth

Sylfirm X is a radiofrequency microneedling (RFMN) device that combines advanced bipolar RF energy with ultrafine microneedles to target skin rejuvenation and dermatological concerns. It uses the unique Regional Regeneration Radio Repeated Pulse (RP) technology, designed to deliver focused RF energy into both the epidermal and dermal layers without damaging surrounding tissues. This precise energy delivery promotes collagen remodeling, elastin production, and vascular normalization.

Not only does Sylfirm X target concerns like skin laxity, sagging, resurfacing, scarring, and rejuvenation, but it also has the ability to effectively treat difficult indications like melasma, acne, and rosacea. The versatility of Sylfirm X allows for tailored treatments, a higher safety profile, and higher treatment outcome satisfaction.

    What to know about Sylfirm X

    What is the difference between Continuous Wave and Pulsed Wave mode?

    Continuous Wave mode delivers a steady stream of RF energy, creating a more uniform and sustained heating effect. The skin is heated between 40-60 degrees, stimulating fibroblasts and collagen remodelling. This mode is great for skin tightening, resurfacing, scarring, lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenation.

    What makes Sylfirm X different from microneedling, or other RF needling devices on the market?

    Traditional microneedling produces controlled micro-injuries to the skin to stimulate the release of growth factors and would healing. When this is combined with radio frequency energy in Sylfirm X, we can achieve far more precise and effective results, as the controlled thermal damage causes a greater level of tissue coagulation and stimulation, resulting in smoother, tighter, and more even skin.

     
    Sylfirm X features the “Na effect”, causing the RF energy to be released at the tip of the needle in a water droplet shape, with the residual energy tapering up toward the base of the needle. This protects the epidermis by reducing unnecessary heat at the surface of the skin. The needles are gold-plated, making them highly biocompatible in comparison to titanium or stainless-steel needles, which can cause micro tears when entering or exiting the skin.
     
    Numbing cream is not required for Sylfirm X facial treatments, due to the linear step motor featured inside the handpiece, which allows for a smooth penetration of the needles. The 2MHz speed at which the energy is released from the tip creates a narrow range of heat generation surrounding the needles, resulting in a more comfortable treatment. With the unique ability to treat at a depth as short as 0.3mm into the skin, Sylfirm X has the ability to perform full eyelid rejuvenation.

    How do you prep for a Sylfirm X treatment?

    We suggest avoiding all unprotected sun exposure for 2 weeks prior to your treatment. If you are using any highly active products like Retinol, glycolic or salicylic acid, please avoid these for 3 days prior.

    What should I expect after the treatment?

    Redness and subtle swelling are normal after a Sylfirm treatment using Continuous Wave mode, and will resolve in 1-2 hours. You might look slightly pink on bony areas of the face for the day, but this subsides quickly. Your skin may also feel warmer than usual.

     
    After a Pulsed Wave mode treatment, only a very mild pink colour will be seen on the skin, and this usually resolves in less than an hour, due to the gentler energy distribution.
     
    We suggest avoiding highly active products and physical exfoliation for 3-5 days post treatment. You can gently cleanse, moisturise, and apply SPF in the days following your Sylfirm X treatment. Using a hydrating or calming serum is also fine.

    Why is the gold-plated needle technology significant for treatment comfort?

    Gold-plated needle technology is a method used in various medical and cosmetic treatments to enhance patient comfort and therapeutic efficacy. This technology involves the use of needles coated with a thin layer of biocompatible gold, offering properties such as superior conductivity, reduced skin irritation, and minimized risk of allergic reactions. Gold is hypoallergenic and resistant to oxidation, ensuring the needle remains clean and free from corrosion during procedures.


    The smooth surface of gold-plated needles reduces micro-tearing of the skin, resulting in less pain and post-treatment irritation. Additionally, the conductive nature of gold makes it an excellent choice for energy-based treatments, enabling precise delivery of electrical currents or other therapeutic energies. This improves effectiveness while decreasing discomfort. Gold's thermal conductivity also helps in dispersing heat evenly, preventing localized damage.

    How does the"Na effect" protect my skin during treatment?

    The "Na Effect" in Sylfirm X technology refers to its advanced and selective energy delivery system that targets only abnormal tissues while sparing healthy skin structures. This effect ensures that radiofrequency energy is distributed in a controlled, repetitive pulse pattern, focusing on damaged blood vessels, pigmented regions, and affected tissues without overheating or over-coagulating surrounding areas.


    By utilizing Regional Regeneration Radio Repeated Pulse technology, the Na Effect minimizes collateral thermal damage and preserves the integrity of the normal dermal and epidermal structures. It creates micro-coagulation zones only in the necessary treatment areas, enabling precise rejuvenation. This protection mechanism enhances safety by reducing the likelihood of burns, inflammation, or prolonged downtime and allows for effective treatment of sensitive conditions like melasma or vascular irregularities.

    The Na Effect also ensures comfort during the procedure, as the microneedling process is paired with controlled RF emission, maintaining a balance between therapeutic efficacy and minimal invasiveness. Its focus on selective treatment zones allows for improved skin restoration with minimal risk, ensuring both safety and efficacy in skin rejuvenation and repair.

    What makes the 0.3mm needle depth capability unique?

    The 0.3mm needle depth capability is unique because it permits precise and minimally invasive penetration, making it effective for treating delicate and anatomically sensitive areas, including the upper and lower eyelids. This specific depth avoids excessive tissue trauma while still stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular regeneration. It is particularly suited for thin, fragile skin where deeper needle depths could cause unnecessary damage or adverse effects, offering unparalleled control during procedures.
