Resurface and regenerate
youthful-looking skin

Skin resurfacing is a minimally invasive procedure that improves skin texture and appearance. Using the RFMN Sylfirm X device, this treatment delivers precise thermal energy to the skin’s deeper layers, promoting collagen production and skin regeneration. It effectively treats various skin conditions, such as melasma, acne scars, wrinkles, redness, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with minimal downtime.

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.

Skin resurfacing with chemical peels

Chemical peels are a popular and effective method for skin resurfacing, helping to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin by removing the damaged outer layers. Among the numerous options available, ZO Skin Health and PRX-T33 stand out for their innovative formulations and impressive results. By choosing the right product tailored to your specific skin needs, you can achieve a radiant, youthful complexion.
