We are excited to announce that The Appearance Center now offers Sylfirm X, a minimally-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment that is safe and effective on all skin types.

What is Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X improves both skin texture (fine lines, scarring) and skin tone (brown spots and redness).

It is the first and only FDA approved RF microneedling device featuring dual wave settings. One setting increases collagen production treating skin wrinkles or acne scarring. Another setting evens out redness and dark spots associated with sun damage.

Amazingly, it does all this with minimal pain and downtime. Downtime typically involves 1 day of redness.

Sylfirm X is effective in treating a variety of skin issues, including:

• Fine lines

• Wrinkles

• Skin laxity

• Acne scars and other types of scarring

• Stretch marks

• Hyperpigmentation

• Enlarged pores

• Mild to moderate sagging skin

• Skin redness

• Vascular issues like rosacea

How it Works

Sylfirm X uses microneedles and radiofrequency technology to transmit thermal energy deep into the skin. This system administers an accurate amount of energy at a specific depth during the treatment. Unlike other devices, Sylfirm X reacts ONLY to abnormal blood vessels and tissue to selectively treat increased pigmentation and vascular lesions. It is the only RF microneedling device approved for hard-to-treat conditions like rosacea and melasma.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Sylfirm X is safe on all skin types, including darker skin tones. The best candidates are healthy patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, stretch marks, acne scars, and/or pigmentation concerns.

How Long Do Results Last?

You can see significant improvement with three sessions. Because it is a collagen producing treatment, the results do not “wear off” after any amount of time.

Obvious results are normally seen after just one treatment. However, to help achieve the maximum benefit, a three-treatment series is suggested, with each treatment four to six weeks apart.
