Treatment Overview
Sylfirm X RF Microneedling is an advanced Korean dermatology treatment that combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to stimulate collagen remodeling, regulate pigmentation, and improve skin texture. Unlike traditional RF devices, Sylfirm X offers dual-wave technology (continuous and pulsed RF), which not only tightens skin and reduces pore size but also targets vascular pigmentation, redness, and melasma.
For uneven skin tone, Sylfirm X RF Microneedling works by reducing melanin overproduction, calming inflammation, and strengthening the skin barrier, resulting in a clearer, brighter, and more balanced complexion.
