Sylfirm X
Sylfirm X is an advanced, FDA-cleared radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device designed to treat various skin concerns, including stretch marks. Sylfirm X combines microneedling with pulsed wave and continuous wave radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production, promote skin healing, and improve skin texture and elasticity. This dual-technology approach makes Sylfirm X particularly effective for reducing the appearance of stretch marks (striae), whether they are newly formed (red or purple) or older (white).
Benefits:
Effective for All Types of Stretch Marks
Sylfirm X can treat both newer, red or purple stretch marks (striae rubra) and older, white stretch marks (striae alba). The dual wave RF technology addresses both the vascular components and the deeper dermal damage associated with different types of stretch marks.
Non-Invasive and Minimal Downtime
As a non-invasive procedure, Sylfirm X involves minimal downtime. Patients can typically return to their regular activities shortly after treatment, with only mild redness or swelling that subsides within a few hours to a few days.
Stimulates Natural Skin Regeneration
By promoting collagen and elastin production, Sylfirm X leverages the body's natural healing processes to improve skin quality and reduce the appearance of stretch marks over time.
Customizable and Safe for All Skin Types
Sylfirm X is safe for all skin types and tones. The depth of microneedling and intensity of RF energy can be tailored to the individual’s skin type, stretch mark severity, and treatment goals, ensuring a personalized approach.
Long-Lasting Results
The results of Sylfirm X treatments continue to improve over several months as the skin regenerates and new collagen is formed. With proper skin care and maintenance, the benefits can be long-lasting.
How does it work?
Combination of RF and Microneedling Technology
Sylfirm X utilizes ultrafine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response. At the same time, it delivers RF energy deep into the skin's dermal layers. The combination of mechanical needling and thermal energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, key components responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
Dual Wave Technology (Pulsed and Continuous Modes)
Sylfirm X uses both pulsed wave and continuous wave RF energy to treat a variety of skin conditions. The pulsed wave mode targets vascular components, such as redness and pigmentation associated with newer stretch marks, while the continuous wave mode delivers deeper thermal energy to remodel collagen and elastin fibers, effectively reducing the appearance of older stretch marks.
Collagen and Elastin Stimulation
The RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, causing controlled thermal damage. This heat stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, which helps tighten the skin, improve its texture, and reduce the depth and width of stretch marks. Over time, the new collagen fibers help to smooth out the stretch marks, making them less noticeable.
Enhanced Skin Renewal and Repair
The micro-injuries created by the microneedles encourage the skin to renew itself by generating fresh skin cells and expelling damaged tissue. This process helps to fade the discoloration and improve the texture of stretch marks, leading to a more even and uniform skin tone.
Precision and Safety
Sylfirm X’s technology is designed to precisely target the treatment area, minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. The depth of the microneedles and the intensity of the RF energy can be adjusted based on the severity of the stretch marks and the patient's skin type, allowing for a customized treatment approach.
Sylfirm X is suitable for individuals who have visible stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, hips, breasts, or other areas of the body. Those who are looking for a non-invasive, non-surgical treatment option to improve the appearance of stretch marks can opt for this treatment.
The number of sessions required depends on the extent and severity of the stretch marks. Typically, 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended to achieve optimal results.
During the Procedure
The procedure is performed in-office and usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes per session, depending on the size of the area being treated. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
Post-Treatment Care
After the treatment, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, which usually subsides within a few hours to a few days. It is important to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen, to protect the treated skin and enhance the results.
