Sylfirm X – RF Microneedling 

Sylfirm X is the first FDA cleared radiofrequency (RF) micro-needling procedure which makes use of continuous wave and pulsed wave (dual wave technology) for scars, skin rejuvenation, vascular and pigmented lesions, such as redness, melasma, and rosacea.

There are 8 different modes in Sylfirm X that allows it be customized for treating different sites and skin conditions. In addition, the device has the widest depth range among micro-needling RF systems at 0.3 – 4.0mm.

Dr. Q Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q), provides Sylfirm X RF microneedling for skin rejuvenation to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.

Sylfirm X Mechanism

Sylfirm X makes use of radiofrequency (RF) micro-needling. This is a minimally invasive procedure which delivers radiofrequency through microneedles. Controlled micro-injuries are made on the skin by microneedling that stimulates collagen production and wound healing. The needle helps in breaking down scar tissue as well.

Microneedles are used for delivering RF energy to the skin. It generates heat at 104-140°, which causes protein denaturation and coagulation leading to contraction and inflammation. This further begins the wound healing response that promotes collagen production.

Tightening Skin and Treating Pores with Sylfirm X

Enlarged pores can be tightened by Sylfirm X med spa treatment. They can be used for diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. RF energy is delivered at 131-140° within the dermal layer by using the continuous wave motion. Patients can almost immediately notice skin contractions.

Melasma

The device can treat pigmentation, such as rosacea and melasma by using pulsed wave mode. Hyperactive melanocytes, abnormal blood vessels, damaged epidermis base layer, and reduced collagen can cause melasma. Sylfirm X helps in strengthening the base epidermis layer, removing abnormal blood vessels, and regulating melanin production to treat the root cause of melasma.

Other conditions

The RF microneedling med spa procedure can be used for treating acne, rosacea, and acne scars. It can be used for rejuvenating the skin in the neck, decolletage, and double chin.

Sylfirm X Procedure

Numbing cream will be applied by the treatment provider before the treatment begins. Needles will be inserted smoothly using a stamping technique that prevents pain, bruising and bleeding. Each session lasts for about 30 minutes.

Suitable Candidacy

This treatment is for:

• Pigmentation – Rosacea and melasma
• Skin rejuvenation: Wrinkles, enlarged pores, rhytides, fine lines, and skin laxity
• Scars: Atrophic scars, acne scars, stretch marks, and hypertrophic scars
• Body rejuvenation: Double chin, turkey neck, and decolletage

Sylfirm X microneedling is suitable for all genders and age groups since it makes use of both short and long pulses for customizing to different conditions.

EXOSOME Treatments for Hair Growth

The human body contains several biological sources which can be used for regenerating hair follicles. This includes autologous cells that originate from bone marrow and adipose. Placental cell-derived exosome products are one of the primary therapy sources. Exosomes are an effective nonsurgical procedure for hair restoration in both men and women.

Dr. Q Medical Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Suzanne Quardt (Dr. Q), provides exosome treatments for nourishing and hydration of the scalp for healthy hair growth to patients in Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Beverly Hills, CA, and surrounding locations.

What are Exosomes?

Exosomes are the latest addition to naturally bioactive amnion-based products available for treating hair loss and thinning. Exosomes are paracrine effectors, which mean they have a major role in stimulating and signaling nearby cells.

Transfer of biochemical stimulating contents from one cell to the next causes the stimulating effect on cells and tissues. These messengers are collectively known as extracellular vesicles (EVs) and include exosomes and microvesicles.

Use in Hair Stimulation

Regenerative cells perform the basic function of healing, repairing, restoring, and stimulating cells and tissues. Hair follicles are vulnerable and susceptible to minturization by hormonal and genetic effects from DHT.

Injecting MSC Extracellular Vesicles in the Scalp

EVs have a tiny size that allows them to be easily injected with local anesthesia in the superficial dermis layer of the scalp. PRP and A-Cell among other common autologous scaffolds can be used for assisting in cell migration and retention. The procedure is completed in the same manner as other in-office procedure involving PRP injections.

Exosome Therapy Results

Natural hair growth may be promoted by exosome med spa hair therapy in just 2 – 3 months. New hair may continue growing over the course of the next year. Most noticeable results can be seen after 6 months following the procedure. A large number of patients report new and consistent hair growth in the months following their last treatment session.

Time Gap Between Two Exosome Therapy Sessions for Hair Loss

Typically, med spa experts recommend a wait period of 6 – 8 months after the last treatment session for revaluating results. They also take this time before performing another treatment session of exosome injections.

Number of Exosomes in a Vial

There are 400 billion plus exosomes in each vial for the purpose of hair regrowth. According to researchers, this amount is more than enough for regenerating hair growth.

Difference Between Exosome Treatment and PRP

PRP doesn’t provide exosomes or stem cells. This is because the amount of stem cells present within the body reduces with age. Normal PRP treatments don’t include any stem cells. PRP therapy is concentrated on growth factors and platelets that are injected into the patient.

Often, PRP is confused by doctors and patients with stem cells. However, a lot of people forget that blood is not an efficient source for obtaining stem cells. Originally, the stem cells are collected from fat during liposuction. However, this is a labor-intensive procedure and not a very effective or potent source in patients that have aged.
