How does RFMN Sylfirm X skin resurfacing work?
RFMN Sylfirm X skin resurfacing combines pulsed and continuous wave radiofrequency with microneedling. It delivers controlled thermal energy to the skin’s deeper layers using bi-polar, non-insulated gold needles. This selective coagulation process stimulates collagen production and promotes skin regeneration. The thermal energy targets specific depths within the skin, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues while enhancing the skin’s texture and tone. This precise delivery of energy helps reduce melasma, acne scars, wrinkles, and redness, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion.
