What is Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X is an advanced RF microneedling treatment that delivers carefully controlled energy beneath the surface of the skin. It uses two different types of energy, pulsed and continuous, within one system. This allows multiple skin concerns to be treated effectively in a single session.

The treatment uses very fine gold microneedles to reach the deeper layers of the skin. These target damaged areas, visible blood vessels and key structural layers, while leaving the surrounding healthy skin unaffected. This process encourages the skin’s natural collagen production and repair, leading to smoother, clearer and firmer skin over time.

Conditions We Can Treat With Sylfirm X

Sylfirm X is clinically proven to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Loose or sagging skin
  • Acne scarring and enlarged pores
  • Melasma and pigmentation
  • Rosacea and redness
  • Dull or tired-looking skin.

What to Expect at Your Sylfirm X Treatment

When you arrive at our Southampton clinic, your treatment will begin with a thorough consultation with our medical team, to assess your skin and ensure the treatment is suitable for you.

Most people find the treatment relatively comfortable, but if you wish, a numbing cream can be applied before the procedure starts. The treatment itself takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During the treatment, your practitioner will apply the hand held unit to the treatment area. You may notice a gentle warmth or tingling.

Many clients find results are visible soon after treatment, and they will continue to improve over the next weeks and 2-3 months.

How Does Sylfirm X Work?

Sylfirm X works by using very fine gold microneedles to deliver controlled heat energy into the deeper layers of the skin. It uses two types of energy in one treatment. One targets redness, pigmentation and visible blood vessels, while the other focuses on tightening the skin and boosting collagen.

The energy is delivered in very short, precise pulses, which means it treats the problem areas effectively without damaging the surrounding skin. This helps to stimulate the skin’s natural repair process, improving texture, tone and firmness over time, with minimal downtime.

Combine Microneedling With Other Treatments

Sylfirm Microneedling and exosomes can be combined with other treatments for even more powerful results.  It works particularly well with EMFACE, an innovative treatment which combines RF and HIFES energy to lift and tighten the skin.  Speak to us at your consultation about the best combination of therapies for your particular skin needs.

As a follow up treatment, we recommend using SkinCeuticals Advanced RGN-6.  Available in the clinic and via our online shop, this  patented formula is designed to activate the skin's natural repair process.
