Enter Sylfirm X to help you achieve your beauty goals. Having soft, baby-smooth and glowy skin has always been highly sought after by many, especially in our predominantly Asian community.
The Sylfirm X marries two popular skin rejuvenation treatments, microneedling and radiofrequency to help achieve these skin goals. It improves texture and reduces the appearance of pores as well as vascular and pigmentary lesions. Skin is smoother, brighter and looks younger as a result.
Clogged Skin
Acne-prone and oily skin usually results in frequently clogged pores. This may develop into acne pustules & papules, which stretches the pores and skin. Clogged pores that are not exfoliated or removed may cause skin to lose elasticity and become permanently enlarged. Previous acne would also have caused damage to the skin, which results in ‘tougher’ and less supple skin.
Skin Laxity
As we age, our skin loses elasticity as the amount of collagen decreases over time. As the skin becomes loose, it loses its ‘tightness’ around the pores resulting in larger pore size.
First, the controlled damage caused by the microneedles invokes a healing process. This stimulates the collagen production during the healing process, tightening the area and minimising pores. At the same time, the radiofrequency energy transmitted through the microneedles further stimulates collagen production and remodels the laxity of the skin surrounding the large pores. The adjustable depth of the microneedles allows different layers of the skin to be targeted for a better effect.
With the “Pulsed Wave” setting, radiofrequency energy is introduced into the skin in the form of multiple pulses. This particular setting allows structural changes to occur within the skin.
A topical cream is usually prescribed to patients to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation and infection. This should be applied diligently for the first few days. Adequate sun protection and moisturisation are also key for faster recovery and to reduce the chance of side effects.
