Sylfirm X – modern, safe, and fast recovery acne treatment technology

Doctor Acnes

RF microneedling has long been known as a prominent method in acne scar treatment. But few know that this technology can also effectively reduce inflammatory acne thanks to its ability to control bacteria, reduce inflammation, and regulate sebaceous glands.

According to research published in Dermatologic Surgery, after just 2 treatment sessions with fractional RF microneedling, inflammatory acne conditions in patients were visibly reduced without exacerbating active acne lesions. This is the premise for applying the Sylfirm X device, a modern dual-wave RF microneedling technology, in acne treatment for inflammatory acne, hidden acne, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation safely, with minimal invasiveness and fast recovery.

Sylfirm X: modern dual-wave RF technology from South Korea

Sylfirm X is the world’s first fractional device using RF waves to possess Dual Wave RF technology with two wave emission modes:

  • Continuous wave (CW): creates a thermal effect around the non-insulated needle tip (Na effect), transmitting heat along the needle length to impact the entire skin layer, creating controlled micro-injuries and stimulating collagen proliferation. This mechanism not only improves skin structure and acne scars but also helps clean hair follicles, supporting sebum control, an important factor causing clogged pores and acne.
  • Pulsed wave (PW): emits selective intermittent pulses, focusing the impact around capillaries and inflammatory lesions, helping reduce redness, soothe inflammation, and regulate immune responses at the inflammatory acne area.

The flexible combination of the two wave modes allows the Doctor to customize the energy and microneedle depth according to each skin condition such as inflammatory acne, hidden acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or large pores.

Particularly, the device uses microscopic needles to transmit energy directly into the dermis without damaging the skin surface, helping reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, limiting peeling, and shortening recovery time.

At Doctor Acnes, the Sylfirm X machine is officially imported from South Korea, with full certification documents, and is directly operated by specialist Dermatologists.

      Frequently asked questions about Sylfirm X for acne treatment at Doctor Acnes?

      Is acne treatment with Sylfirm X painful?

      Common sensations during the treatment process are heat and mild stinging pain, especially in sensitive skin areas such as under the eyes or near the hairline. Generally, most customers still feel the procedure is tolerable if performed with the correct technique by a specialist Doctor.

      How many sessions are needed to see visible efficacy?

      Most customers begin to see improvement after about 2 – 3 treatment sessions, especially reducing oil, reducing inflammation, soothing redness, and fading post-acne hyperpigmentation. For more severe acne conditions or accompanying scars, the Doctor will prescribe a regimen of about 4 – 6 sessions to achieve optimal results.

      Is there peeling or skin redness after treatment?

      After treatment with Sylfirm X, the skin may be slightly red for the first few hours, then return to normal. Some people may experience very mild peeling in old acne areas or hyperpigmented areas; this condition is usually negligible and will recover on its own after 2 – 3 days if cared for properly.

      How to do skincare after Sylfirm X treatment?

      • In the first 24 hours: gently clean the skin 2 – 3 times a day with physiological saline, and pat dry with gauze. Apply restorative moisturizing cream and use autologous plasma or stem cells (if any).
      • From day 2 to day 5: wash the face with a gentle cleanser, continue to moisturize, use mineral spray, and apply sunscreen if exposed to the sun. Gently remove makeup at the end of the day if necessary; do not wear makeup unless strictly necessary.
      • In the first 5 days: avoid direct sunlight, dusty environments, activities causing excessive sweating, saunas, hot water, facial massages, swimming pools, or beach trips. Do not use easily irritating active ingredients like retinoids, AHA/BHA until the skin has completely shed its scabs (if any).

      Additional note: if the skin has scabs, let them shed naturally, do not pick at them. In case inflammatory acne appears, topical acne medication can be used as prescribed. If the skin is still red, swollen, itchy, oozing fluid, or has severe inflammatory acne after 5 days, a follow-up examination should be scheduled for prompt treatment.

      Customers can care for their skin normally after the skin is no longer red or has completely shed its scabs (if any).
