What is Sylfirm X & How Does it Work?

Sylfirm X is the next generation in RF Microneedling technology. It stands alone as the world's first and only device to feature Dual Wave Radiofrequency—using both a Continuous Wave and a revolutionary Pulsed Wave. This allows our clinical experts to treat a broader range of skin conditions with greater precision and safety than any other device on the market.

The treatment works through a dual-action process:

  • Microneedling: Fine, sterile needles create micro-channels in the skin, triggering a natural healing response and stimulating new collagen growth.
  • Dual Wave RF Energy: As the needles penetrate the dermis, they deliver RF energy. The Continuous Wave (CW) mode provides powerful, sustained heat to tighten skin and remodel collagen, addressing wrinkles and laxity. The groundbreaking Pulsed Wave (PW) mode delivers energy in short bursts, allowing us to selectively target and normalise abnormal blood vessels and pigmentation, making it a true game-changer for treating melasma and rosacea.

This procedure is part of our comprehensive Guide to Jowls & Lower Face Sagging.

Conditions We Treat with Sylfirm X

Thanks to its unique dual-wave technology, Sylfirm X is our most versatile tool for total skin revitalisation, effectively treating a broad spectrum of concerns:

  • Pigmentation: Melasma, Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), Sun Spots.
  • Vascular Conditions: Persistent Rosacea, Diffuse Redness, and broken capillaries (Telangiectasias).
  • Signs of Ageing: Fine Lines, Wrinkles, and mild to moderate Skin Laxity on the face and neck.
  • Skin Texture & Tone: Enlarged Pores, rough skin texture, and achieving a 'glass skin' glow.
  • Acne Scars: Remodels collagen to improve the appearance of atrophic and rolling acne scars.

Sylfirm X for Eyes: Treating Hooded Eyes & Crow's Feet

The delicate periorbital area around the eyes is one of the first places to show signs of ageing—and one of the most challenging to treat safely. Sylfirm X for eyes is a game-changer for patients concerned about:

  • Hooded Eyelids: Tightens loose skin on the upper eyelid for a more lifted, open appearance without surgery.
  • Crow's Feet: Smooths and reduces fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes.
  • Under-Eye Crepiness: Improves the thin, crepe-like texture that develops with age.
  • Dark Circles: The pulsed wave technology can help improve the appearance of vascular dark circles.

Because Sylfirm X delivers controlled energy precisely where it's needed, it's safe to use on this sensitive area where other RF devices cannot go. Treatments start from £650 and deliver visible lifting and smoothing results.

Sylfirm X: Safe for All Skin Types

One of the most significant advantages of Sylfirm X is its safety profile across all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones. Traditional RF and laser treatments often carry risks of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) or burns for patients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI. Sylfirm X eliminates this concern.

The secret lies in its precise, controlled energy delivery. The pulsed wave technology selectively targets abnormal tissue while leaving surrounding healthy skin unaffected. This selectivity means we can safely and effectively treat conditions like melasma and hyperpigmentation in patients who were previously told they weren't candidates for RF microneedling.

Patients of all ethnicities and skin tones can expect the same excellent results: smoother texture, improved clarity, and rejuvenated skin—without the risks associated with older technologies.

Sylfirm X vs. Morpheus8: What's the Difference?

While both are leading RF Microneedling devices, they are engineered for different primary goals. This is a key consideration at our Cavendish Square clinic to ensure you receive the right treatment for your specific concerns.

Our Verdict: For patients whose primary concerns include redness, melasma, or overall skin quality alongside anti-ageing, Sylfirm X is the clear and superior choice.

Your Sylfirm X Treatment Journey

Your journey to revitalised skin is a professional, comfortable experience from start to finish:

  1. Personalised Consultation: Your journey begins with an in-depth assessment with our medical team. We'll discuss your concerns, analyse your skin, and design a bespoke treatment plan, including the recommended number of sessions.
  2. Preparation: On the day of treatment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a strong topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 45-60 minutes to ensure your comfort.
  3. The Treatment: Your practitioner will expertly apply the Sylfirm X handpiece across the treatment areas, customising the device's depth, energy mode (PW, CW, or both), and intensity for your specific needs. The procedure itself takes around 20-30 minutes for a full face.
  4. Post-Treatment Care: We apply a calming serum and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Your skin will be red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn.

Step-by-Step: The Sylfirm X Clinical Protocol

Our medical team follows a precise 5-stage protocol to ensure optimal results from every Sylfirm X treatment, customising the dual-wave RF energy to your specific skin concerns.

1

Skin Analysis & Treatment Mapping

Your practitioner analyses your skin type, pigmentation patterns, and concerns using clinical assessment. We map the treatment zones and select the appropriate RF wave mode—Pulsed Wave for pigmentation/rosacea, Continuous Wave for tightening, or a combination approach.

2

Deep Cleanse & Preparation

The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove all oils and impurities. A topical anaesthetic cream may be applied for 10-15 minutes if needed, depending on treatment depth and patient preference.

3

Dual-Wave RF Calibration

The Sylfirm X device is calibrated with precise settings for needle depth (0.5mm-4.0mm), RF energy intensity, and wave mode selection based on your treatment map. Deeper settings for collagen remodelling, shallower for surface pigmentation.

4

Precision RF Microneedling Delivery

Your GMC-registered doctor systematically treats each mapped zone with the Sylfirm X handpiece. The sterile microneedles create controlled micro-channels while simultaneously delivering targeted radiofrequency energy to the dermis.

5

Post-Treatment Recovery Protocol

A calming, hydrating serum is applied immediately after treatment to support skin recovery. You receive detailed aftercare instructions including sun protection guidance and skincare recommendations for optimal results.
