When it comes to rejuvenating your skin, not all microneedling treatments are created equal. At Australian Skin Clinics, we’ve introduced Sylfirm X Advanced RF Needling, a cutting-edge radiofrequency microneedling solution that delivers real results without compromising on safety.
Whether you’re targeting acne, rosacea, melasma, or signs of ageing, Sylfirm X offers a more controlled, scientifically advanced form of skin rejuvenation. It’s a next-generation treatment designed for clients seeking real change through minimally invasive skin treatments.
What Is Sylfirm X & How Does It Work?
Sylfirm X is the world’s first and only dual-wave radiofrequency microneedling system, combining both Continuous Wave and Pulsed Wave modes to treat a wide range of concerns, including hyperpigmentation, vascular lesions, and skin laxity.
The Pulsed Wave mode delivers ultra-short bursts of energy at a high 2MHz frequency. This level of control means the treatment avoids overheating the skin, an essential feature for those prone to sensitivity or inflammation. Because the gold-plated microneedles are non-insulated, they release energy along the entire needle shaft for a more even distribution, which is ideal for collagen induction therapy.
The result? A comfortable, efficient treatment that stimulates elastin and collagen to visibly improve skin texture, firmness, and tone, all while being safe for all skin types.
Sylfirm X vs Morpheus8: What Sets It Apart
While Morpheus8 is also an RF microneedling device, it uses insulated needles that release energy only at the tip, increasing the risk of deep, uneven heating. Sylfirm X avoids this by using non-insulated needles and dual-wave delivery for more accurate energy dispersion.
Because Sylfirm X uses dual-wave technology, a combination of Pulsed and Continuous RF, it can be adapted for different skin conditions and depths. Clients looking for more customisation in their treatment often find Sylfirm X to be a more suitable and comfortable alternative to Morpheus8 or traditional Fractional RF Needling.
Addressing Concerns About Fat Pad Loss
Fat pad loss is a concern that’s occasionally raised with RF treatments, especially when aggressive energy settings or poor technique are involved. That’s why our clinicians are highly trained in the use of this FDA-cleared device, and we follow strict protocols to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
By harnessing pulsed wave energy at a safer frequency and carefully selecting candidates, Sylfirm X can deliver dramatic improvements without compromising the underlying facial structure.
Treating Melasma Safely & Effectively
Melasma is a complex form of hyperpigmentation and one that can often worsen with heat-based treatments. Fortunately, Sylfirm X is designed with melasma-prone skin in mind. Its Pulsed Wave mode ensures the temperature remains controlled, making it one of the few RF treatments that can safely support melasma management.
It also regulates the melanocytes responsible for pigment production, strengthens the skin’s basement membrane, and reduces abnormal blood vessels—three crucial factors in preventing further pigmentation.
For a comprehensive plan, we may combine Sylfirm X with other pigmentation treatments to support long-term results.
How Sylfirm X Helps with Acne
Thanks to its ability to reduce inflammation, regulate sebum production, and remodel skin texture, Sylfirm X is an excellent solution for acne scar reduction. It’s suitable for treating Stage 1 and 2 acne, avoiding pustular areas to ensure safety.
The RF energy helps suppress overactive sebaceous glands, while the needling element improves skin texture enhancement by stimulating new collagen. It also reduces redness and post-inflammatory pigment, offering a multifaceted approach to acne treatment.
To amplify your results, we may recommend complementary options like LED Light Therapy or MediPeels, depending on your skin’s needs.
A Gentle Solution for Rosacea
Rosacea is often aggravated by heat, making many resurfacing procedures off-limits. But because Sylfirm X operates with such controlled precision, it is a breakthrough in rosacea therapy.
We use the device at a shallow depth of 0.3mm to target capillaries and inflammation within the papillary dermis, helping to calm redness without triggering flare-ups. Unlike many treatments for vascular lesions, Sylfirm X can reduce redness while supporting skin structure, offering lasting results.
If you’ve previously tried other treatments for redness and rosacea with minimal success, Sylfirm X may be the answer.
A Solution for Fine Lines, Pores & Laxity
Beyond treating specific conditions, Sylfirm X is widely used for non-surgical skin tightening and improving fine lines and wrinkles. As collagen and elastin regenerate, the skin becomes firmer and more resilient. Clients also report visible improvements in enlarged pores, dullness, and general loss of tone.
This makes Sylfirm X a preferred option for clients who want a holistic skin refresh, without the downtime of more aggressive treatments.
What to Expect During & After Treatment
Each Sylfirm X session typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. After applying a numbing cream, your clinician will perform the treatment, which most describe as mildly warm with tolerable pressure. Post-treatment redness is common but usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours.
As this is a minimally invasive skin treatment, downtime is minimal, and visible results build gradually over several weeks. Many clients incorporate it into their seasonal skin maintenance plans to keep skin clear, firm, and glowing.
Is It Worth the Investment? Absolutely
Sylfirm X is a premium treatment, but its precision, safety, and versatility offer real value. Thanks to its dual-wave delivery, you’ll likely need fewer sessions compared to other microneedling or energy-based treatments.
With session prices at some clinics reaching $1,200 to $1,500, we’re proud to offer the same FDA-cleared device in a medically-led environment with expert care, without the boutique price tag.
