Sylfirm X RF Microneedling
Hit the ‘reset’ button on your skin with Sylfirm X
The world’s first FDA registered and TGA approved Pulsed Wave (PW) and Continuous Wave (CW) radio frequency micro needling device.
Sylfirm X uses multiple tiny bipolar non-insulated micro needle electrodes to cover dermal layers of the skin from 0.3 to 4mm. It produces 8 different modes with uniform electric fields of energy to penetrate the dermal layer without damaging the tissue. Effectively helping to hit the ‘reset’ button on your skin!
The PW mode is for pigmented and vascular lesions including hyperpigmentation, melasma, rosacea and diffused redness.
The CW mode is for for skin laxity, rejuvenation and scarring, all while strengthening the skin’s base membrane.
A minimum of 3-6 treatments are recommended depending on the client and while some improvement can often be seen immediately the real results appear up to 3 months later. It takes time to fix the structure and foundation of the skin.
Traditionally radio frequency microneedling was painful and time consuming. Sylfirm X does not require any anaesthetic cream, there is little to no discomfort and minimal downtime. Treatments are minimally invasive, quick and safe and are backed by over 25 clinical studies.

Watch Sylfirm X in action
What to expect during your Sylfirm X treatments
The skin will be cleansed and prepped. The Sylfirm X handpiece will be lightly applied to the skin in a gentle stamping method and the treatment area will feel a warm pinching sensation.
Depending on the depth settings, you may or may not feel the micro needles penetrating the skin. Energy and depth settings are adjusted according to the different treatment areas and your skin type.
The pulsed wave technology provides enough thermal relaxation time in the skin making it safe and effective for all skin types.
The micro needles create tiny controlled micro-wounds, stimulating a natural healing response by the body which can produce fresh, new collagen over the next 3 months.
With each treatment there is improvement in tone, texture and tightness with collagen regeneration. Over time clients can see a visible reduction in acne, scarring, pigmentation, redness, fine lines and wrinkles.
Patience is key when long term, sustainable results are the goal.
Duration
40 - 70 minutes depending on the area(s) treated
Recommended Sessions
While some people experience great results in just one session, the typical treatment plan requires 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart with annual maintenance treatments.
Repair plans require more sessions than prevention plans.

Relieve any swelling or redness by applying a cool compress at home.
Do not rub, scratch or pick treated areas.
Keep away from the heat or anything that makes you sweat for 1-2 weeks post treatment eg excessive exercise, sauna, very hot showers.

You will be given comprehensive post care instructions to take home after your treatment.



FAQs
-
RF is an electric current corresponding to the frequency that carry radio signals. When RF is transmitted to skin tissue, it is transformed into heat at 40-60 degrees celcius. It causes structural changes, denaturation or coagulation of proteins and collagen, which promotes wound healing and stimulates collagen production.
-
RF microneedling is a combination of RF and microneedling into a single system to deliver RF energy precisely and deeply into the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries.
Stimulating wound healing and the production of new collagen, RF microneedling is primarily used for skin rejuvenation, tightening, lifting, scar treatment, wrinkles, large pores, loose skin, acne and acne scars and making the skin look younger and revitalised.
-
Traditional microneedling treatment induces wound healing and collagen production by creating mechanical damage to the skin.
RF microneedling is an advanced procedure that creates deeper and more precise micro-injuries in a controlled manner. You can expect a more effective, targeted, and long-lasting effect with fewer treatments than traditional microneedling.
For treatments on skin with no specific concerns, microneedling is a good option. For skin with specific targets and concerns, Sylfirm X is a superior option.
-
In general, a series of 3 treatments 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. However the number of sessions depends on skin condition and the client’s desired outcome as well as the intensity of the settings.
Repair often requires more effort than prevention!
For prejuvenation and general skin maintenance, you can have an annual 1-4 treatments. A wonderful way to keep your skin in great shape.
-
It depends on the individuals specific concern, their skin condition, and compliance to post treatment care instructions.
Typically the ‘treatment effect’ begins to appear within 1-2 weeks of treatment. An example of this might be a feeling of tightness, a change in texture, or a reduction in inflammation.
In some cases, clients with a history of acne, skin breakouts or folliculitis a Sylfirm X treatment can stimulate a latent inflammation that can lead to a breakout, skin purge, or inflammation of the hair follicle within 2-3 days, this will naturally subside and should not be picked or scratched.
For visible results to pigmented or vascular lesions, scars, acne and wrinkles, improvement can be seen from the second or third treatment.
RF microneedling targeting specific concerns is a long game option. It takes time to fix the structure and foundation of the skin.
-
Sylfirm X has a dual-wave system. It produces a continuous wave and pulsed waves that can treat not only skin rejuvenation, tightening and lifting, but also pigmented lesions and vascular lesions such as melasma, diffuse redness and rosacea, which are difficult to treat with conventional RF microneedling systems.
Syfirm X enables targeted treatment of 0.3mm up to 4mm. It was developed through numerous studies and experiments and is backed by clinical studies. It utilises various modes and a wide range of parameter settings to enable customised and delicate treatments. Traditional RF needling systems are more restricted in their parameter settings and treatment indications.

Everyone is different.
Typically clients might experience a sunburn-like redness and possible swelling which is usually quite subtle.
Waffle-like marks and a tingling or sunburn/hot sensation are normal immediately after treatment, but this subsides within 30mins - 6 hours in most cases.
In some cases a skin purge or latent inflammation can last 1-5 days as the body begins its healing response.
-
Side effects of Sylfirm X treatments can depend on the constitution of the client. Ideally the client is healthy and the wound healing response is quick and easy. If the client is rundown, unwell, or suffering from any metabolic disorder, the healing response may be compromised.
Redness will last longer with a more intensive treatment. A treatment with a deeper needle depth can elicit pinpoint bleeding or bruising. Exessive treatments or neglect of post care instructions also compromise healing.
Pigmented lesions can darken and then lighten within 1-2 weeks.
Some clients can experience skin breakouts, pimples, inflammation of the hair follicle, scabs, and crusting. These symptoms usually subside spontaneously within 2-3 days.
In rare cases symptoms may include hyperpigmentation, blisters or a burn.
-
Sylfirm X needles (or bi-polar electrodes) are gold coated, blister packaged and EO-sterilized.
The bi-polar electrodes are disposable and can only be used once for each client.
