When it comes to skin rejuvenation, microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) treatments have long been trusted options for improving skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and addressing various skin concerns. However, a new device has entered the field: Sylfirm X Advanced RF Needling, a next-gen system that takes skin treatments to the next level. But what makes it different from traditional Fractional RF Needling? Let’s break it down.
What is Fractional RF Needling?
Fractional RF Needling combines traditional microneedling with a single-length radio frequency (RF) energy. The RF energy is delivered through the needles into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the skin’s natural healing response to address concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores.
The microneedling component creates micro-channels in the skin, which encourages the body’s healing response, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
However, Fractional RF Needling has its limitations, such as the inability to treat delicate areas like the eyelids and lips, and it generally involves more discomfort and downtime compared to Sylfirm X.
What is Sylfirm X?
Similar to Fractional RF Needling, Sylfirm X combines both microneedling with radiofrequency energy. However, what sets Sylfirm X apart is that it is the world’s first dual-wave RF microneedling device. Unlike traditional RF devices that use a single wave, Sylfirm X uses both pulsed and continuous RF. This allows for more precise targeting of pigmentation, redness, and skin laxity, making it a one-stop solution for various skin concerns.
Sylfirm X can also treat delicate areas, like around the eyes, thanks to its adjustable needle depth, which can go as shallow as 0.3mm. With over 25 clinical studies backing its efficacy, Sylfirm X promises faster, more noticeable results with significantly less discomfort and minimal downtime compared to traditional RF Needling.
How Sylfirm X Stands Apart
While both Sylfirm X and Fractional RF Needling combine microneedling with radiofrequency technology, Sylfirm X offers significant advancements in terms of versatility, comfort, and results.
Dual-wave vs. Single-wave Technology:
The biggest innovation of Sylfirm X is its dual-wave RF capability. Traditional Fractional RF devices use only continuous radiofrequency energy, while Sylfirm X employs both continuous and pulsed RF. This allows Sylfirm X to target specific issues like pigmentation and vascular conditions with greater precision.
Less Downtime, Less Pain:
One of the main drawbacks of traditional Fractional RF Needling is the longer recovery time and discomfort involved. With Sylfirm X, downtime is minimal. Most patients report little to no pain during the procedure and experience only mild redness, which fades quickly. This makes Sylfirm X ideal for those looking for faster results with minimal disruption to their daily routine.
Customised Treatments for Delicate Areas:
Sylfirm X’s adjustable needle depth makes it suitable for treating even the most sensitive aeras of the face and body, such as around the eyes. Traditional Fractional RF Needling treatments, on the other hand, are unable to safely treat these areas.
Fewer Sessions, Faster Results:
Thanks to its advanced technology, Sylfirm X often requires fewer treatment sessions to achieve desired results. Clients can experience smoother, tighter skin with fewer sessions to achieve desired results. Clients can experience smoother, tighter skin with fewer appointments, making it a more efficient option for those seeking quicker, lasting improvements.
Which Treatment is Right for You?
When deciding between Sylfirm X and Fractional RF Needling, consider your specific skin concerns, downtime availability, and budget. While both treatments deliver solid results, Sylfirm X is perfect for dealing with complex skin issues and those who want a quicker path to firmer, more youthful skin. Fractional RF Needling, on the other hand, remains a reliable option for improving skin texture and boosting collagen production.
