Sylfirm X - Radio Frequency Microneedling

One delicate device targeting multiple skin concerns, even the most stubborn

 

How it works

Innovative Radio Frequency Microneedling

Uniquely effective for comfortably treating many skin concerns, including active acne/acne scarring, skin laxity (moderate-severe), hooding on the eyelids and difficult conditions like rosacea, melasma and other pigmentation issues. Radiofrequency uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering gentle heat energy beneath the surface. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen production and encouraging healthier, tighter, more even-toned skin.

Why we chose this technology is because it’s precise ability to target damaged areas and transform skin in a safe and very tolerable treatment. Usually radio-frequency machines are known to be painful, this one is the most comfortable on the market. It’s also the ONLY device to be Health-Canada approved for tightening directly on the eyelids !

    • Acne/Acne Scarring: Our most popular treatment to soften and smooth moderate-severe acne scarring. It also safely treats active acne. No need to wait until your skin clears before seeking treatment. For scarring, consider pairing your Sylfirm X with Subcision for best results.

    • Skin Laxity: The gold-standard, non-surgical intervention to lift and tighten the skin of the lower face. A great option for someone that doesn’t want injectables but wants noticeable results. Think improvement of jowls, saggy jawline, and heavy nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Pair this with Sculptra for the ultimate ant-aging duo.

    • Hooded Eyelids: YES, you read that right! This device is the ONLY device approved to treat directly on the eyelid, right up to the lash line. This will tighten sagging eyelids, improve skin crepiness underneath the eye, and brighten the darkness around the eyes, safely! Don’t worry the machine is so gentle it doesn’t hurt.

    • Uneven Skin Tone: Think calming redness in rosacea-prone skin, lightening hyperpigmentation/sun spots, reducing broken capillaries, even brightening the hardest skin-condition, melasma!

    • Stretch Marks: Sick of those stretch marks on your thighs or breasts when you’re wearing a bikini? We can help smooth the appearance of stretch marks by boosting collagen and elastin production. An ultimate confidence boost when you’re by the pool!

    • It also effectively treats wrinkles, large pores, and rough or bumpy skin. It is also safe for ALL SKIN TYPES!

  • The beautiful thing about collagen-stimulating treatments like this one is that the collagen you create is yours forever! improvements aren’t instant, they start slowly and continue to develop over several months after a treatment series. A typical plan includes 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with annual maintenance recommended to sustain long-term results, since we are naturally losing collagen as we age. Issues like wrinkles, skin laxity, and acne/scars tend to have more lasting improvements.

    Skin concerns like melasma, rosacea, and pigmentation may require up to 6 sessions for impactful results. Periodic touch-ups may be needed because these skin conditions are chronic and are reocurring in nature (sorry!)

    Proper aftercare, including SPF use and a consistent skincare regimen, helps maximize and prolong results.

    While this is likely a great option in your journey, with scarring you’ll often have to use multiple modalities to meet your skin goals. We won’t lie, active acne and scarring are the most stubborn conditions we treat in clinic!

    We treat a high volume of scarring clients and often several other modalities and products to create an individual treatment plan to address your specific scarring.

    • Assessment: You’ll be assessed by our medical professionals first to determine what type of scarring you have. This is important to determine treatments that will be effective for your specific type of scarring.

    • Subcision: Breaks apart tethered scars. Best done before or at the same time as microneedling.

    • JetPeel Pro Infusions: Individualized skin infusions based on scaring and skin needs.

    • Platelet Rich-Plasma: Using your own bloods growth factors to stimulate healing of acne and scars.

    • Exosomes: Cell-to-cell communicators that deliver growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules that reduce inflammation, promote cellular regeneration, and collagen production for smoother skin.

    • Chemical Peels: Best done after more aggressive treatments to smooth the top layer or skin and increase cellular turnover.

  • You can expect little to no true downtime, just a little social downtime. Certain patients may see some redness and light flushing for 24-48 hours but they will still be able to proceed with daily activities. Pair this treatment with exosomes for a speedier recovery and less redness. Please remember to use sunscreen to protect your skin!

  • We won’t lie, it’s a little punchy BUT compared to other RF microneedling devices, this is the most comfortable one! Hence why we chose this device. Our founder has a low pain-tolerance, so comfort was top of our mind when choosing a device. The feeling is described by most patients as relatively comfortable, 3-4/10 with slight heat. Plus, since we are a medical spa, we are able to use prescription strength numbing cream to increase comfort!

  • Traditional microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries, without the radiofrequency component. Sylfirm X RF microneedling penetrates deeper and combines radiofrequency (RF) energy, which generates heat deep in the skin. Therefore targeting both the skin’s surface and deeper layers. It’s advanced RP (Repeated Pulse) technology selectively treats tough concerns like acne, acne scarring, rosacea, melasma, and skin laxity while leaving healthy skin untouched, delivering longer-lasting and more effective results.

  • Both Sylfirm X and Morpheus8 are RF microneedling treatments, but they differ in focus and technology:

    Sylfirm X:

    • Comfort: This machine is specifically made to offer the most comfortable RF microneedling treatment on the market.

    • Newest Technology: It’s unique repeated Pulse (RP) technology, targets only damaged tissue while leaving healthy skin untouched.

    • Specializes in sensitive skin concerns: Known for treating inflammatory acne, acne scar improvement and lower face skin tightening. But it can also treat tricky skin conditions like melasma, rosacea, pigmentation, and vascular lesions with. It’s ideal for improving skin tone, texture, and treating sensitive skin types.

    • Conservative: Made for all but specifically for a mature clientele (>40). Treatments are less ‘aggressive’ and safer.

    • Eyelids: The only machine that is approved to treat the delicate skin on the eyelid!

    Morpheus8:

    • Pain: Known to be extremely uncomfortable treatment.

    • Depth: Goes deeper than other machines on the market. It focuses on fat reduction, and deep skin tightening. It’s used on the face and body. There is also a risk to melt unwanted fat on the face.

    • Aggressive: Geared towards younger clientele for a more intense result.

    • Eyelid: NOT approved to treat the delicate skin on the eyelids.
