Treatment Overview
Sylfirm X is a next-generation RF microneedling system that combines radiofrequency energy with ultra-fine microneedles and offers dual wave technology (continuous and pulsed RF). This allows dermatologists to treat not only enlarged pores and rough texture but also redness, vascular issues, and pigmentation, making it one of the most versatile pore treatments available in Korea.
For enlarged pores, Sylfirm X works by stimulating collagen remodeling, tightening pore walls, and improving elasticity while also calming inflammation that can worsen pore visibility. It is especially effective for patients with sensitive skin, rosacea, or post-acne pore enlargement.
