Treatment Overview
Sylfirm X is a state-of-the-art RF microneedling system offered in Korean dermatology clinics for acne scars, pigmentation, redness, and skin laxity. It is the first device clinically proven to target both abnormal blood vessels (for redness/PIH) and dermal remodeling (for scars and aging).
By delivering pulsed or continuous-wave radiofrequency energy through microneedles at customizable depths, Sylfirm X stimulates collagen and elastin regeneration, scar remodeling, and pigment stabilization. In Korea, it is often paired with Juvelook, Rejuran S, exosomes, or PDRN for maximum regenerative benefits in acne scar protocols.
Purpose & Benefits
- Scar Remodeling: Improves atrophic acne scars (rolling, boxcar, shallow icepick).
- Pigmentation Control: Reduces PIH and redness by stabilizing abnormal vessels.
- Collagen & Elastin Boost: Stimulates dermal remodeling for firmer, smoother skin.
- Texture Refinement: Shrinks enlarged pores and evens skin tone.
- Barrier Strengthening: Improves skin resilience against future breakouts.
- Synergy with Boosters: Enhances results when combined with Juvelook or Rejuran S.
Ideal Candidates
Sylfirm X in Korea is recommended for:
- Patients with moderate acne scars combined with pigmentation or redness.
- Individuals with PIH or vascular redness after acne.
- Those seeking skin tightening and scar correction in one procedure.
- Patients who experienced irritation or limited results with lasers alone.
- People looking for low-downtime regenerative treatments.
Possible Risks & Complications
Sylfirm X is safe for all skin types, but temporary effects may include:
- Redness and swelling for 1–2 days.
- Mild pinpoint scabbing or dryness.
- Tightness or tenderness post-treatment.
- Rare PIH if aftercare and sun protection are neglected.
