Sylfirm X Microneedling Benefits (& What To Expect)

According to InStyle's interview with Dr. Ranella Hirsch, a board-certified dermatologist, the radiofrequency that is built in along with the microneedling device actives the production of new collagen.

This is done by the radiofrequency heating up the deeper layers of the skin, activating the production of collagen, and in turn improving elasticity of the skin. 

As mentioned above, there are 2 radiofrequency waves offered by the Sylfirm X device. The continuous wave mode is a single long pulse. This targets rejuvenation and toning of the skin as well as improves skin texture due to the stimulation of collagen as mentioned previously.

The emitted radiofrequency waves repair and renew skin cells and damaged blood vessels. The ever so precise needles were created to puncture the skin for the proper amount of time. This sparks wound healing and collagen production without causing harm to the skin.

Also, this newly innovated technology device has the ability to penetrate different levels of the skin. Additionally, it was designed to offer a range of intensity settings. This allows the aesthetician more freedom to specifically target areas to tone and lift the skin as well as target other skin concerns.

Fine lines and wrinkles are also targeted through the use of the continuous wave feature. The Sylfirm microneedling device's continuous wave (cw) mode is capable of targeting deeper depths of the skin's structure.

This helps with not only elastin production but also visible signs of aging such as the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Another benefit of the Sylfirm machine is its ability to reduce pore size. This leads to more youthful and healthier looking skin.

The second radiofrequency wave put out by the device are ultra- short pulse waves. These wave types allow the tool to be even more versatile targeting more skin concerns. One of these areas of concern that is targeted is acne.

The scar tissue can be targeted and broken down with the use of this tool. The rejuvenation and stimulated healing benefits also aid in clearer skin and less acne problems.

Studies have demonstrated positive results in regards to Sylfirm microneedling being beneficial for acne scarring. This reports shows the results of the studies more in-depth and with pictures. A snippet of the report is shown below.

"Therefore, RF may benefit inflammatory acne lesions with sustained reduction of sebaceous hyperplasia.21 Successful treatment outcomes have been reported in several studies. Fractional microneedle RF can be applied for both inflammatory lesions and atrophic acne scars with a favorable safety profile."

This study from the International Journal of Molecular Sciences shows microneedling radiofrequency to help with hyperpigmentation conditions of the skin. The pulsed-wave mode of the device is used to target this skin condition. Only tissues and blood vessels that are irregular are targeted.

Additionally, the ultra-short pulses decrease senescent fibroblasts which cause the skin's decline and can bring about Melasma.  Lastly, the Sylfirm device helps to balance melanocytes. These are the cells that contain melanin which produces the skin's pigmentation.

Another Sylfirm X microneedling benefit is the reduction of vascular lesions such as rosacea. The procedure decreases irregular blood vessels aiding problems with rosacea. However, further causes of rosacea should be looked into for a more permanent solution to the problem.

Also, the needles are able to reach the skin's layers that the sun's rays effect. Therefore, sun damaged skin may be repaired or lessened through the use of Sylfirm as well.

Lastly, stretch marks can be targeted through this minimally invasive technology. This is once again due to the machine's ability to improves skin's elasticity while targeting the body's natural healing process of the scar tissue.

All of these things with the addition of increased collagen production helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks.

What to Expect

Exact procedures may differ a little from provider to provider. However, there are basic things to expect when you get the Sylfirm microneedling treatment done.

1. Lounge back on a long chair
2. Have all makeup removed and the skin prepped for treatment
3. An explanation of the procedure and or tool if it is your first time
4. Pictures taken for a reference point
5. The application of a numbing cream
6. A relax time prior to the procedure giving time for the numbing cream to take effect
7. Tiny pokes will be made into the face. Some areas will be more sensitive than others (such as above the lip). However, the pain is minimal and you should adapt rather quickly. They feel like little pricks, but nothing intolerable.
8. Exosomes applies after the treatment. This is an optional step with some providers, but not with mine because it is such a valuable step. The exosomes feel cool on the skin which is nice since redness will occur.
9. Inflammation and redness will occur on the face which should fade rather quickly. My skin adapted after several procedures, and redness and inflammation was better than after the first time.
10. Great results as long as you adhere to the set guidelines.

My Personal Experience

As I stated earlier, I used Sylfirm X making sure I followed a strict schedule regarding the amount of treatment sessions and the recommended time inbetween sessions.

I also found an aesthetician who was experienced and knowledgeable about treating people with the Sylfirm X device and knows the needs of different skin types.

This made my experience and outcome wonderful. I wish I had taken before and after pictures of myself. I have been able to see a noticeable difference in my skin's texture and tone, pore size, as well as the overall glow of my face. 

I have been told by a doctor I see via zoom every several months that I look ten years younger, and this is without her knowing that I even had the treatment. I will continue getting the treatments approximately every six months. It is recommended to have follow-up treatments every 6 months to a year after the initial 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

The price varies among providers. However, often times prices run around $1,000 per session. Yes, it is pricey! Although it is pricey, I have found the experience worth it due to the results and the fact that you can build upon the results.
