What it is

RF microneedling, with two modes. Colour below, collagen deeper.

Sylfirm X® pairs very fine non-insulated microneedles that deliver radiofrequency energy evenly along their full length, under the surface. Your skin responds by building collagen and calming the tiny vessels behind pigment and redness.

Pulsed mode is for melasma, rosacea and persistent redness. Continuous mode is for tightening, pores, acne scars and texture. Your provider chooses the mode, or combines both, for your skin. Choose Glow for radiance, the deeper treatment for change, and add the eye area to either.

Treats face, eye area and neck. Most skin tones.

Why Sylfirm X®

Made for melasma and redness. Where most RF can't go.

Most RF microneedling relies on steady heat, and heat can flare melasma and redness. Sylfirm X® adds a pulsed mode that works below the surface, on the small vessels behind pigment and redness, while the top layer of skin stays calm. It is one of the few RF devices we trust for melasma and redness, and NewBeauty named it the Best RF Microneedling Treatment for Face in 2025.

Review the study
Who

Published in Dermatology and Therapy, 2022. A pilot study using Sylfirm, the earlier version of Sylfirm X®.

What they did

Treated 30 women with melasma, skin types III to V, with pulsed RF microneedling and followed them for six months.

What they found

Melasma, pigment and skin roughness improved from the start of treatment. Melasma returned in 3 of the 30 patients.

What it means for you

Pulsed RF microneedling can be a safe option for melasma, including deeper skin tones. Daily SPF and maintenance help keep results.

The technology

Energy along the whole needle. Where your skin needs it.

The needles are non-insulated, so radiofrequency energy is delivered evenly along their full length, at the depth your provider sets.

Pulsed mode delivers energy in very short repeated bursts. Continuous mode delivers steady heat that contracts and rebuilds collagen. Depth, energy and mode are set for each area, and both can be used in one session.

PulsedColour + redness

Short bursts for melasma, rosacea and persistent redness.

ContinuousCollagen + firmness

Steady heat for tightening, pores and acne scars.

Non-insulatedEven energy

Energy spreads evenly along each needle, below the surface.

GlowLighter upkeep

A gentler treatment for radiance between series.

How it works

Two modes, two depths.

Pulsed energy works near the base of the skin's top layer, where pigment and fine vessels sit. Continuous energy works deeper, where collagen is rebuilt.

02Sylfirm X® at its core

Does Sylfirm X® help melasma?

Yes, it is one of the main reasons we offer it. Pulsed mode works below the surface on the vessels that feed pigment. Melasma is managed, not cured: results build over the series, and daily SPF keeps them.

Sylfirm X® or regular microneedling?

Heat is the difference. Dp4™ microneedling uses needles alone and suits texture, pores and fine lines. Sylfirm X® adds radiofrequency, which tightens skin and treats melasma and redness.

What is Sylfirm X® Glow?

A lighter, shallower Sylfirm X® treatment for radiance, tone and fine texture, with no downtime. It is a good first step, a pre-event treatment, or upkeep between deeper series. Glow starts at $695 for the face.

Can Sylfirm X® treat under the eyes?

Yes. Finer settings are used for the thin skin around the eyes to soften crepey skin and fine lines. There is little to no downtime. The eye area is $495, or $345 with Glow, and can be added to any face treatment.

Is Sylfirm X® safe for darker skin tones?

Because the heat is released below the surface, Sylfirm X® suits most skin tones, including many where lasers are not the right fit. We confirm at consultation.

Why Sylfirm X® for melasma instead of other RF devices?

Most RF microneedling uses steady heat, which can make melasma and redness worse. Sylfirm X® has a pulsed mode that treats below the surface without heating the top layer, so it can be used where other devices are not the right fit.

Who should not have Sylfirm X®?

It is not recommended during pregnancy, with a history of keloids or poor healing, or with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device. We review your health history at consultation.

03The day of and recovery

How much downtime is there?

Little to none. Skin may look lightly pink for a few hours, and most clients go straight back to their day.

04For best results

Can Sylfirm X® be combined with BBL®?

Yes. BBL® clears surface colour while Sylfirm X® works below it. The pairing is $1,345 for the face.
