Developed in Silicon Valley, U.S., RF Gold Microneedling is a non-invasive treatment in Singapore that uses Selective Electro Thermolysis with Very Short Pulse Radio Frequency (RF) Technology to treat acne, pores, saggy skin and rosacea.
This emerging Dual Wave Microneedling Radiofrequency Device has an Xceptional penetration depth from 300μm to 4mm. At this depth, RF Gold Microneedling is able to target up to the critical skin basal layer and create precise thermal coagulation for not only Skin Rejuvenation, but also for the treatment of various dermal skin conditions such as Wrinkles & Fine Lines, Acne, Acne Scars and even tighten Large Open Pores.
RF Gold Microneedling is also clinically proven to treat neovascularities such as Melasma and Rosacea. This is all thanks to the innovation of the RP (repeated ultra-short pulse).
Examples of RF Gold Microneedling devices include Sylfirm X, Morpheus 8 and Secret RF.
RF Gold Microneedling’s Continuous Wave Mode stimulates collagen production which in turn can bring about a wound healing process and dermal remodelling, together with the skin rejuvenation, tightening and lifting effects.
Together with the Pulsed Wave Mode and the Na Effect, RF Gold Microneedling (Sylfirm X, Morpheus 8, Secret RF) has been clinically and technologically proven to give effective results in all its indications.
RF microneedling combines two technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Tiny needles penetrate the skin’s surface during the procedure, creating controlled micro-injuries. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin generation.
At the same time, RF energy penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, warming the tissue and kickstarting collagen production. The synergy between microneedling and RF energy results in tighter, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
01 Lots of Pigmentary and Vascular Lesions noticeable within the different skin layers can be noticed before treatment.
02 After 300 micron gold microneedles are inserted into the skin, therapeutic electromagnetic fields are formed within the layers. Na effects can also be observed.
03 After Treatment, Fundamental Skin Regeneration happens due to Selective Regional Regeneration Radie Repeated Pulse.
During penetration, energy will be released into the device (Sylfirm X, Morpheus 8, Secret RF) at 2MHz into the 300-micron gold microneedles. With each penetration, the gold microneedles* remain in the skin for the optimal time required to repair and rejuvenate, before any thermal damage can occur.
*Sylfirm X is the only microneedling device that contains gold needles.
The RP (repeated ultra-short pulse) micro-needling technology also comes into play by making it such that the device reacts to ONLY abnormal blood vessels and tissues. This way, we can selectively treat increased pigmentation and vascular lesions.
*If you are looking at RF Gold Microneedling to treat neovascularities and melasma, you may look out for Sylfirm X.
The following are benefits of RF Gold Microneedling devices, incl Sylfirm X, Secret RF, Morpheus 8:
Collagen is a protein that provides structure to the skin, keeping it firm and resilient. As we age, collagen production progressively declines, leading to wrinkles, sagging skin, and volume loss.
RF microneedling helps to reverse these signs of ageing by promoting the synthesis of new collagen fibres. Over time, this increased collagen production leads to smoother, more supple skin with improved texture and tone.
RF microneedling stimulates collagen production, which can minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps plump up the skin from within, restoring a more youthful complexion. With repeated treatments, you will experience significant improvements in the overall texture and look of your skin.
Loss of skin elasticity is a common complaint as we age, leading to drooping and sagging in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and neck.
RF microneedling can help to tighten loose skin by promoting collagen remodelling and contraction. Maintenance treatments in the long term can help you maintain a firmer, more lifted appearance, preserving youthful contours of the face and neck.
RF microneedling also effectively reduces the appearance of scars, including acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
By stimulating collagen production and remodelling the skin’s structure, RF microneedling helps to improve the texture and smoothness of scar tissue. Over time, scars become less noticeable, resulting in a more even complexion.
Exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays can significantly damage the skin over time, including sunspots, pigmentation irregularities, and premature ageing.
RF microneedling can help to repair sun-damaged skin by promoting cellular turnover, collagen renewal, and strengthening the skin barrier. This can result in a more even skin tone, reduced pigmentation, and a brighter, more radiant complexion.
While RF microneedling can yield noticeable improvements after a single session, achieving optimal results sometimes requires multiple treatments. The number of sessions needed varies depending on your skin concerns and treatment objectives. The severity of wrinkles, the skin’s laxity, and the desired outcome influence the treatment plan your doctor recommends.
Following an initial series of treatments, maintenance sessions may be advised to sustain and enhance the results achieved. These maintenance sessions serve to prolong the benefits of RF microneedling and ensure that your skin continues to look its best over time.
RF microneedling offers a non-invasive way to rejuvenate the skin and address visible signs of skin ageing. If you’re considering the treatment to rejuvenate your skin and restore a more youthful appearance, SL Aesthetic Clinic offers Sylfirm X.
Sylfirm X is a versatile RF microneedling technology in Singapore that can target multiple skin concerns simultaneously. It is administered by our team of qualified specialists, who will work with you to create a customised treatment programme according to your needs and goals. We prioritise safety, efficacy, and your satisfaction so you receive the highest-quality care and achieve the best possible results.
You will be suitable for RF Gold Microneedling treatment if you are looking for skin rejuvenation, treatment of melasma, rosacea, PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation), wrinkles, dull or uneven skin tone, open pores, stretch marks, acne / acne scars and/or poor scalp circulation.
Different machines are better suited for different conditions (e.g. Sylfirm X is FDA-approved for melasma so you might want to look at Sylfirm X instead), so always discuss with your practitioner.
RF Gold Microneedling is backed by plenty of studies done on different skin conditions, including acne, rosacea and pigmentation.
Clinical studies saw an average improvement of:
You can expect little to no downtime, certain patients may see some redness and light flushing but they will still be able to proceed with daily activities. Do use sunblock to protect your skin.
The recommended frequency is once every 2-6 weeks, depending on your personal skin condition and treatmen type. Your doctor will advise upon assessment.
We recommend waiting at least 1 week before getting a facial.
We have numbing options available so your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
Long-term RF microneedling is generally considered safe. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects, especially with repeated or prolonged treatments. Some possible side effects of RF microneedling may include:
To minimise the risk of complications, we advise you to choose a qualified skincare professional to perform RF microneedling safely and monitor your skin’s response over time.
For best results, it is recommended to undergo 3-6 sessions. Each session will take around 20-30 minutes.
