Your skin presents much of your first impression on anyone you meet. As you age, your skin changes due to hormones, genetics, and lifestyle choices. You may struggle with fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, or uneven skin tone. In fact, you may be dealing with multiple issues at once, and while complexion changes are inevitable, you can still achieve beautiful skin with the proper treatment.
Sylfirm X is the latest in minimally invasive care for your skin. It is designed to improve a variety of skin concerns, refresh your complexion, and give you a more youthful glow.
What Is Sylfirm X?
Sylfirm X is a device that combines the skin-rebuilding abilities of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate your skin. It can reverse damage and signs of aging on your face.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a technique that uses tiny needles to create “controlled injuries” in areas of your skin targeted for treatment. These minuscule punctures signal your body to increase its production of collagen and elastin in the affected area, rebuilding your skin from the inside out.
Radiofrequency energy is used in skin rejuvenation to gently heat the deep layers of your skin, which also stimulates collagen and elastin production. However, RF energy takes your microneedling treatment to another level by contracting the collagen fibers already present in your skin, tightening and firming the tissue to help treat sagging skin and other concerns. While there are similar machines, none of them have dual wavelength technology, which puts Sylfirm X head and shoulders above the rest.
What Conditions Does Sylfirm X Treat?
Sylfirm X can be used for overall skin rejuvenation and treats a wide range of specific skin issues, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Acne
- Acne scars
- Rosacea
- Redness
- Large pores
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
Sylfirm X is safe for all skin types and can even treat stretch marks, stimulate your scalp to increase hair growth and promote hair health.
Am I a Candidate for Sylfirm X?
Ideal candidates for Sylfirm X are people who wish to treat the above skin conditions. You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for your results. The best way to discover if you’re a good candidate for Sylfirm X treatment is to schedule a consultation with one of the experts at the Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery medispa.
What Is a Sylfirm X Treatment Like?
When you come into our medispa for your Sylfirm X treatment, we will cleanse your skin and apply moisturizing cream to ensure the best possible results. We then carefully and precisely move the Sylfirm X handpiece across your skin, allowing the fine microneedles to pierce your skin while simultaneously delivering pulsed waves of RF energy to the area. You may feel a bit of pressure during the treatment and a mild tingling or pricking sensation, but most patients do not experience any discomfort.
You may also choose to add exosomes to your Sylfirm X treatment. What are exosomes? They’re nano cells found naturally in your body that help other cells regenerate. They contain growth factors, and when applied as a topical serum, they help boost collagen and elastin production, reduce inflammation, and improve the overall health of your skin. Exosomes are even better than PRP (platelet-rich plasma) in stimulating hair growth.
Each Sylfirm X session typically lasts about an hour, though the time depends on the size and number of areas being treated.
What Is Sylfirm Recovery Like?
Because Sylfirm X is a minimally invasive procedure, no downtime is required. Immediately after treatment, your skin may be a bit pink and feel tight, as if you had a mild sunburn, but this is normal and will subside within 24-48 hours. You will receive specific instructions on caring for your skin as it heals; however, we recommend avoiding both chemical and physical exfoliants for at least a week and being diligent with UV protection, as your skin is more vulnerable to sun damage after treatment.
What Can I Expect From My Sylfirm X Results?
After your Sylfirm X treatment, you will see an improvement in the tone and texture of your skin within one to two weeks. Your results will continue to develop over the next few months, and you will notice your skin is firmer, tighter, and has less discoloration and visible scarring. Depending on the conditions you are addressing with Sylfirm X, you may require a series of sessions to reap the full benefits of the treatment.
