What is Sylfirm X?
Sylfirm X is an FDA-approved innovative treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) and microneedling, with gold-plated needles. It is currently the only microneedling RF device on the market with dual wave RF capabilities and the widest needle depth range (0.3 – 4.0mm).
Sylfirm X employs wide ranges of RF pulses across 8 different modes and various needle depths to treat multiple skin conditions while restoring overall skin health and appearance. The range of needle depths also allows for customisation of the treatment to different skin types and conditions, while remaining minimally invasive.
What Conditions Can Sylfirm X Treat?
Sylfirm X can help treat different conditions on the face and body such as:
- Melasma
- Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Rosacea
- Enlarged Pores
- Acne and Acne scars
- Dull Skin Tone
- Fine lines and Wrinkles
- Double Chin
- Turkey Neck and Décolletage
- Scalp Circulation and Hair Regrowth
- Stretch Marks
How Does Sylfirm X Work?
The Sylfirm X device delivers controlled RF energy to specific layers of the skin through its microneedles, creating micro-injuries in the skin and triggering the body’s natural healing response. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, addresses vascular issues, and helps regulate melanin production.
Sylfirm X for Vascular & Redness
Sylfirm X helps reduce redness and vascular issues by using a gentle pulsing mode to target and treat abnormal blood vessels just beneath the skin. This process, known as electrocoagulation, helps to normalise blood flow and reduce persistent redness. In addition, the treatment has an anti-inflammatory effect, helping to calm irritation and lessen the appearance of inflammatory skin conditions.
Conditions Sylfirm X can help with:
- Rosacea
- Facial flushing
- Visible capillaries
- Skin redness
- Telangiectasia
Sylfirm X for Collagen Production
The continuous wave mode of Sylfirm X sends controlled energy deep into your skin to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, the building blocks of firm, youthful-looking skin. This process tightens the skin and improves its texture, giving it a more revitalised and smoother appearance. The energy also works to restructure your skin’s tissue, breaking down the tough scar tissue from acne.
Conditions Sylfirm X can help with:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scarring
- Skin laxity
- Stretch marks
Sylfirm X: Targeted Pigmentation Treatment
Sylfirm X is designed to address pigmentation by targeting and normalising the irregular production of melanin, the substance that gives skin its colour. The radiofrequency (RF) energy breaks up excess melanin, which the body then naturally clears away. The treatment uses a dual-action approach, combining a Pulsed Wave to break down pigmentation in the upper skin layers while a Continuous Wave penetrates deeper into the dermis addressing underlying causes of pigmentation. This dual-action approach not only lightens existing pigmentation but also promotes the growth of new, pigment-free skin over time.
Conditions Sylfirm X can help with:
- Freckles
- Melasma
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Age spots
- Sunspots
The Sylfirm X Treatment Process
The Sylfirm X treatment process at Become Aesthetics Clinic is designed to be comfortable and effective:
- Initial Consultation and Skin Assessment: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with our experienced aesthetic doctors. We will assess your specific skin concerns, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if Sylfirm X is the right skin care treatment for you.
- Pre-Procedure Preparation: Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort throughout the session.
- Preparation: The Sylfirm X device will then be gently applied to your skin, delivering controlled RF energy through the fine microneedles.
- Post-Treatment Care: Following the treatment, you may experience some mild redness and temporary swelling, which typically subsides within a few hours to a few days. Our aesthetic doctors will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote optimal healing and results.

How to Care for Your Skin After Sylfirm X Treatment?
Following your Sylfirm X treatment, our aesthetic doctors may prescribe a topical cream to help reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation and infection during the initial few days.
It is crucial to consistently apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen and use a gentle moisturiser to support speedy recovery and minimise the risk of side effects or hyperpigmentation. Repairing and hydrating skincare products or sheet masks are highly recommended to soothe and nourish the skin.
You should also avoid using skincare products with active ingredients like AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids), BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids), and Retinols in the immediate post-treatment period to prevent potential skin irritation
What is the Difference Between Sylfirm X RF Microneedling and Traditional Microneedling?
Traditional microneedling primarily focuses on creating micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production. Sylfirm X RF microneedling goes a step further by delivering radiofrequency (RF) energy through the microneedles into the deeper layers of the skin. This combination provides a synergistic effect, enhancing collagen and elastin stimulation to boost the body’s natural skin regenerating properties. This enables Sylfirm X to target specific skin concerns like pigmentation and vascular issues more effectively and with greater versatility and customisation compared to traditional RF microneedling devices.
Can I Combine Sylfirm X Treatment with Other Treatments?
Yes, the Sylfirm X treatment can be combined with other energy-based devices or injectables for better results. Depending on your skin concerns, our aesthetic doctors may suggest combining the following procedures with Sylfirm X:
- Hydration: Profhilo or Skinboosters
- Wrinkle Reduction: BTX or Skinboosters
- Tightening/Lifting: HIFU, Fotona Laser or Ultherapy
- Pigmentation: Pico Laser
- Acne: Carbon Laser or Rejuran Healer
