New at Skin Project - Sylfirm X (microneedling + radiofrequency)

What exactly is Sylfirm X?
Sylfirm X is an advanced treatment from Korea that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, bringing together two powerful skin improvement techniques for optimal results.
With microneedling, controlled microchannels are created in the skin using ultra-fine needles. These tiny 'wounds' activate the skin's natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. These two building blocks are essential for a firm, smooth, and youthful skin. Just with 3 to 5 microneedling treatments, collagen and elastin production can increase by up to 400%, and skin thickness can improve by 140%. The result? Reduction of wrinkles, a firmer skin structure, and a healthy glow.
However, microneedling alone is sometimes not sufficient, especially for sagging skin. This is where Sylfirm X comes into play. This technology uses radiofrequency energy that is delivered deep into the skin through the needles. Since the microchannels have already been created, the heat from the RF energy can penetrate more precisely and deeply. This leads to a more powerful stimulation of collagen and elastin in the deeper skin layers and provides a more intense skin tightening than microneedling alone. Moreover, Sylfirm X is not only effective for skin aging but also for pigmentation spots, couperose, stretch marks, and scars.
The treatment is not painless, but quite bearable.
Immediately after the treatment, the skin may be a bit red, but this disappears after a few hours. Additionally, the skin may feel warm or slightly sore for the first two days.
After a few days, the first effects may already be visible, and the skin gains a beautiful glow. After a month, collagen production peaks and continues for another 2 months. Generally, the result of a single treatment can be assessed after 3 months. For long-lasting results, we recommend 3 to 5 treatments. Also, for certain indications, multiple treatments are necessary.

Why do we choose Sylfirm X?
There are several devices on the market that combine microneedling with radiofrequency. Yet, we consciously choose Sylfirm X.
The use of RF energy requires precision and care. If this energy is applied too deeply or too intensely, there is a risk that fat cells in the face may break down due to excessive heating. And that is exactly what we want to prevent. Fat volume in the face is important for a youthful appearance – losing it can lead to a sunken and aged look.
Sylfirm X is unique thanks to the dual-wave technology, which uses both continuous and pulsed RF energy. This allows for a more precise and customizable treatment. There is a safety margin, ensuring that we can never treat too deeply.
Moreover, Sylfirm X is the first and only FDA-approved device within this technology, providing an extra guarantee for safety and effectiveness.
Sylfirm X is suitable for all skin types. We can also effectively treat the neck and eyelids. Are you curious about this treatment? Our skin therapists offer a free and non-binding consultation to assess your skin and create a treatment plan.
