Sylfirm-X

What is Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X is the first and only FDA approved radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device featuring dual wave settings. This enables the treatment of wrinkles and sagging skin by increasing collagen production while reducing redness and dark spots associated with sun damage. As a result, a number of aspects of facial rejuvenation is achieved with minimal pain and downtime.
New Bloom Dermatology is the first dermatology office to offer Sylfirm X in NYC. All treatments are performed by a board-certified dermatologist.

What is RF microneedling?

RF microneedling is the placement of heated needles into the skin. The heated needles target the dermis and generate mechanical and thermal energy to cause a wound-healing response. Our skin responds by releasing growth factors, contracting old collagen responsible for skin sagging and wrinkles and generating new collagen and elastin over three to six months by stimulating fibroblasts. It can be an effective anti-aging treatment as a result of skin tightening, decreased skin laxity, and wrinkle reduction.

How does Sylfirm X work?

Sylfirm X utilizes bipolar radiofrequency with non-insulated needles to heat the dermis in a precise manner. There is an independent coagulation occurring around each electrode, which limits the amount of heat generated as compared to other RF microneedling devices. This is significant because there is no damage to the epidermal layer or subcutaneous fat and less pain associated with the procedure.
There are eight different settings each associated with either a continuous and pulse wave mode. The continuous wave settings generate longer pulses of energy to contract old collagen and stimulate fibroblasts to generate new collagen and elastin over a period of months during a process known as collagen remodeling. This decreases skin sagging and wrinkles, increases skin tightening, and improves the skin’s tone and texture. Furthermore, the continuous wave settings can also be used for acne scars and scar reduction. The pulse wave settings generate shorter pulses of energy, which can still be used to contract old collagen and generate new collagen and elastin. In addition, the depth of the needles can be adjusted for safe use on the face, neck, and body, such as the eyelids and scalp. Pulse wave energy performed at a superficial depth of 300 microns has been shown to treat dark marks caused by sun damage and melasma by clearing senescent fibroblasts. This setting can also decrease redness associated with rosacea, melasma, and sun damage by generating enough heat to stimulate programmed cell death of blood vessels associated with these conditions.

What are the benefits of Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X can address multiple aspects involved in skin rejuvenation such as lifting the skin through fibro septal repositioning, increasing collagen and elastin production, and decreasing scars and pore size. Unlike other RF microneedling devices, Sylfirm X can also decrease hyperpigmentation from sun damage and melasma and redness as a result of rosacea and sun damage. Sylfirm X can be performed at very superficial settings and used to safely treat areas such as the eyelids and scalp. Other treatment areas include the abdomen, buttocks, arms, and knees. Furthermore, Sylfirm X is safe to use on all skin types. Sylfirm X is tolerable compared to other RF microneedling treatments due to the use of non-insulated needles and controlled amounts of heat generated at the dermis. Sylfirm X’s efficacy and safety is backed by over 25 clinical studies. Furthermore, Sylfirm X has been safely used on the body, including the abdomen, buttocks, knees, and elbows. The treatment does not melt subcutaneous fat.
