RF is an electric current corresponding to the frequency that carry radio signals. When RF is transmitted

to skin tissue, the molecules in the skin create friction, generating heat at 40-60°C. It causes structural

changes, denaturation or coagulation of proteins and collagen, which promotes wound healing and

stimulates collagen production.

RF microneedling is a combination of RF and microneedling into a single system to deliver RF energy

precisely and deeply into the skin by creating controlled micro-injuries.

Stimulating wound healing and the production of new collagen, RF microneedling is primarily used for

skin rejuvenation, tightening and lifting, and scar treatment to makes the skin look younger and better.

It can be used to treat wrinkles, large pores, saggy skin, acne scars, and others.

SYLFIRM X is a non-surgical, minimally-invasive RF microneedling system that has been cleared for use

by the FDA and CE.

 This innovative device is the world’s first and only dual-wave (continuous and pulsed waves) system

for skin rejuvenation, tightening, lifting, and scar treatment as well as for treating various pigmented

and vascular lesions, such as melasma, diffuse redness, and rosacea, which are difficult to treat with

conventional RF microneedling systems.

Continuous wave (CW) and pulsed wave (PW) are types of waveforms that transmit radiofrequency.

Depending on the type of waveform, the skin reaction appears differently, and it can be used to

effectively treat specific indications.

 The continuous wave (CW), used in the traditional RF microneedling system, irradiates RF energy for a

set period of time and induces a healing response and collagen remodeling with intensive heat of 55-

60°C, which is suitable for skin rejuvenation, tightening and lifting, scar treatment.

 When the pulsed wave (PW), developed for the first time in the world by ViOL (South Korea), is delivered

to the skin in the form of multiple pulses, the appropriate heat reaches 42-45°C to induce a healing

response and tissue regeneration, which is suitable for the treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions

such as melasma, diffuse redness, rosacea.

SYLFIRM X is the world’s first and only dual-wave (continuous and pulsed waves) system that can treat

not only skin rejuvenation, tightening and lifting, scars, but also pigmented lesions and vascular lesions

such as melasma and diffuse redness, rosacea, which are difficult to treat with conventional RF

microneedling systems.

 Furthermore, the depth of the microneedles can be adjusted by 0.3-4.0 mm, so it can be used to treat

lesions on the body as well as the face.

 Another particularly distinguishing feature of SYLFIRM X is that it enables targeted treatment of 300 ㎛

(0.3mm), which belongs to the papillary dermis (upper dermis), located just below the basement

membrane (boundary between epidermis and dermis), where factors affecting pigmented lesions,

vascular lesions and skin rejuvenation are distributed (e.g. senescent fibroblasts, capillaries, blood

vessels, and type III collagen). The 300 ㎛ targeted treatment can effectively treat melasma, diffuse

redness, rosacea, uneven skin tone and texture, with less pain and less downtime.

 The SYLFIRM X uses a robotic motor to allow the microneedles to penetrate the skin evenly and

smoothly, minimizing procedural pain, downtime, and side effects.

 In addition, this cutting-edge system, developed through numerous studies and experiments, utilizes

various modes and a wide range of parameter settings to enable customized and delicate treatment in

consideration of each patient’s lesion, skin type, and skin condition.

Compared to other RF microneedling devices, SYLFIRM X is technically designed to gently and

smoothly insert the microneedles into the skin, resulting in less pain than other RF microneedling

systems.

 Therefore, just applying numbing cream for about 30 minutes before treatment can reduce procedural

discomfort or pain.

In general, a serious of 3 treatments at 4-6 week intervals are recommended. However, the number of

treatment sessions and treatment interval may vary depending on each patient’s lesion, skin condition,

or treatment intensity.

 Those who are concerned about sagging skin and skin laxity

 Those who are concerned about skin texture, tone, fine lines, wrinkles, rhytides or large pores

 Those who have acne scars, other types of scars or stretch marks

 Those who have melasma, photoaging pigmentation

 Those who have diffuse redness, rosacea

 Those who have acne vulgaris

As a guideline, we recommend:

• Toxins (Botox etc.): at least 2 weeks apart

• Dermal fillers: at least 4 weeks apart

  Always consult your cosmetic injector for personalised advice.

Treatment times vary depending on the area and whether add-on therapies are included. As a guide:

• Face treatment is usually completed 60 minutes

• Face & Neck 60 minutes

• Face, Neck & Décolleté within 75 minutes

At Clinic T, every session includes not just the microneedling itself, but also professional preparation, advanced serum infusion, soothing recovery care, and optional LED therapy. The entire process is designed to deliver maximum results with minimal downtime, rather than being defined by the number of minutes on the clock.

Generally no, unless you are treating melasma, pigmentation, or acne-prone skin.

We will assess your skin and provide guidance during your consultation.

Avoid active ingredients (e.g. retinols, acids) for 3 days post-treatment.

You may resume your regular skincare routine from Day 4 onwards.

 The depth of the microneedles can be adjusted in a wide range of 0.3 mm to 4.0 mm. The treatment

can be performed on the body as well as the face by adjusting it in consideration of the depth of the

target skin layer and the skin thickness of the treatment area.

 Neck and Décolletage

 Double chin

 Abdomen and Buttock

 Arms and Thighs

 Sunburn-like redness and swelling, waffle-like marks, and a tingling or burning sensation are normal

immediately after treatment.

 These symptoms resolve within 4-6 hours in most cases, but may last for 1-3 or 3-5 days in some cases.

 The severity and duration of the symptoms can vary from patient to patient depending on the treatment

intensity or skin condition.

 Make-up and washing the skin can be done 4-6 hours after treatment or 1 day after intensive treatment.

 As with lasers or other types of energy-based devices, SYLFIRM X treatment could stimulates latent

inflammation that can lead into skin breakouts, pimples, or folliculitis (inflammation of the hair follicles)

within 2-3 days, which ought to naturally subside over time. It is often seen in patients with a history of

acne, pimples, skin breakouts, or folliculitis

 SYLFIRM X treatment has been proven to be safe through many clinical studies and practice. However,

side effects may occur depending on the constitution of each patient, excessive treatment or neglect

of post-treatment care/instructions.

 Symptoms may include blisters, burns, skin breakouts, pimples, folliculitis, scabs, crusting,

hyperpigmentation, skin structural changes or scarring. Symptoms usually subside spontaneously

within 2-3 days, or steroids or anti-inflammatory medications are prescribed.
