Are you seeking treatment with minimal downtime that is relatively painless yet effective for firming and tightening your skin, minimising pores, and evening out your skin tone? Sylfirm X could be a suitable option for you.
Sylfirm X RF microneedling is a radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling device which offers a non-surgical solution for skin rejuvenation in Singapore. It combines the benefits of microneedling and RF energy to deliver aesthetic improvements with minimal downtime.
It differs from other microneedling RF devices with its small gold-plated needles, which create a gentle but precise entry point into the skin. As the needle is non-insulated, multiple depths are targeted with each pulse. Hence, one to two passes are generally required to achieve satisfactory results.
As we age, our skin starts to show signs of ageing, such as a loss in volume and sagging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles also tend to appear. Skin damage accelerates these issues and often occurs due to multiple reasons, including acne, genetics, and lifestyle factors such as smoking. Therefore, non-invasive methods such as Sylfirm X RF Microneedling offer a solution to repair and rejuvenate the skin naturally.
Here's a breakdown of how the Sylfirm X RF microneedling works:
A unique feature of Sylfirm X is that it is a dual-wave RF microneedling device with both an ultra-short pulsed wave mode (PW) and a continuous wave (CW) mode. In this unique pulsed wave (PW) mode, the device targets conditions such as rosacea and melasma. The continuous wave (CW) mode treats problems such as skin laxity or sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin texture, prominent pores, and acne scars. The Sylfirm X does this in a minimally painful manner with minimal downtime.
The Sylfirm X also has a wide penetration depth range of 0.3 mm to 4 mm, which allows one to target the basement membrane at 0.3 mm. This is an important layer of the skin where the pigment cells reside and a weak layer in melasma. Its unique properties also make Sylfirm X suitable at low power mode to stimulate hair regrowth in certain hair loss conditions.
Sylfirm X RF microneedling can effectively treat various skin conditions, including:
Before the treatment begins, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to minimise discomfort. Then, the treatment area will be cleansed, and the Sylfirm X device will be applied to the skin. The device uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries while delivering radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of the skin.
You may feel pressure, heat, and mild discomfort during the procedure, but the numbing cream helps minimise pain, and sessions are usually comfortable.
One treatment session typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of treated areas. Following Sylfirm X RF microneedling treatments, you can expect a range of positive outcomes tailored to your skin concerns. These may include smoother skin texture, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved firmness and elasticity for a lifted appearance.
Additionally, acne scars may become less visible as the treatment improves their texture and colouration. The size of enlarged pores may also decrease, leading to a smoother skin surface overall. These effects become more pronounced as collagen production continues, with optimal results often achieved through a series of sessions your doctor recommends.
Following the treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and discomfort, similar to a sunburn. However, these side effects typically diminish within a few hours to a few days. To facilitate the healing process, you are advised to follow specific skincare protocols and avoid direct sun exposure.
The number of treatment sessions needed with Sylfirm X RF microneedling varies depending on the individual, their specific skin issues, and their desired goals. In general, multiple sessions are recommended to achieve the best results.
For most people, three to six treatment sessions every four to six weeks apart are enough to see results. However, some people with more severe laxity or recalcitrant issues may require more sessions.
It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and complete the full series of treatments to maximise the benefits of Sylfirm X RF microneedling and maintain long-term skin health and rejuvenation.

Is Sylfirm X RF microneedling better than microneedling alone?
Sylfirm may be a more comfortable procedure for patients as the needles are fine and gold-plated to allow for smooth penetration through the skin compared to needles traditionally used in micro-needling treatments.
Delivery of radiofrequency with microneedling helps RF energy penetrate more deeply into the skin, triggering more collagen remodelling and production by generating heat in the deeper tissues. This additional RF energy is absent in conventional microneedling treatments.
When will I see the results from Sylfirm X RF microneedling?
Improvements may be noticeable within a few weeks after the treatment, but optimal results are usually seen after completing the full series of treatments. Collagen remodelling continues, leading to progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Is Sylfirm X RF microneedling suitable for all skin types?
Yes, Sylfirm X RF microneedling is suitable for all skin types and has a minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin types.
