Microneedling

The Sylfirm X RF microneedling system with dual wave tech,  is the latest innovation in RP (repeated ultra-short pulse) microneedling technology that reacts to ONLY abnormal blood vessels and tissue to selectively treat increased pigmentation and vascular lesions. 

This latest generation system is clinically proven to safely and effectively address a number of issues, including wrinkles, redness, acne scars, minimizing pores, and improving the overall look and tone of the skin.

What is RF Microneedling?   

RF (radiofrequency) microneedling technology delivers radio frequencies deep into the skin, enhancing the benefits of traditional microneedling with little-to-no discomfort.

Microneedling treatment, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), uses a vibrational stamping device with very fine needles to address some of the most common signs of aging and skin damage. 

Lines and wrinkles tend to form when the skin is dehydrated and no longer produces enough collagen. Microneedling is designed to create micro injuries to the skin, which stimulates a wound healing response. CIT can be combined with PRP or hyaluronic acid serum, applied directly into the upper layer of the skin.

Risks and Complications

All skin treatments can be linked with a certain degree of risks and side effects. While the side effects of microneedling are relatively minor, it will be important to take care of your skin after treatment to ensure that you can achieve the best results. Risks and complications of skin needling treatment can include*: 

• Irritation 
• Skin sensitivity 
• Redness 
• Bleeding 
• Bruising 
• Swelling 
• Peeling 
• Infection 
• Scarring 

*Any additional risks will be discussed during your appointment

Results and Recovery

After your skin needling treatment, you may experience some redness and sensitivity, which will typically subside within 24 hours. Your skin may also shed several days after your treatment but this is a part of the healing process and won’t last longer than a day or two. 

It is important to remember that your collagen induction therapy results will be gradual because the skin’s healing response will need time to take effect. Once your skin has healed, it will appear smoother and brighter. New collagen will start forming from about week six and you will notice a gradual improvement in the condition of your skin over the next six to 12 months. Additional treatments may be required during this period to achieve a more dramatic effect. 

You will be given some recovery instructions to follow in order to maximize your healing process and help to ensure optimal results. These recovery instructions may include to: 

• Protect your skin with sunscreen 
• Use mineral makeup for 24 hours 
• Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medication or applying cold compress, as this could interfere with the skin’s natural rejuvenation process 
• Avoid scratching or rubbing the treated area 
• Avoid strenuous exercise 
• Avoid excessive heat exposure, including saunas and steam rooms 
• Manage discomfort with pain medication, if necessary 
• Try to sleep with your head elevated on an extra pillow to reduce swelling 
• Stay hydrated
