FAQs
- Is Sylfirm X painful?
To ensure a comfortable experience, a tropical numbing cream is applied prior to this treatment. However, we know that everyone feels pain differently, so we also offer other comfort measures should you require them, such as laughing gas or narcotics. If you choose to have boosted comfort measure, you must arrange a safe ride home after and not operate any machinery, including a car, for 24 hours after the treatment.
- How long do results last?
Everyone is different, but collagen production will be accelerated over the next three months after treatment.
- Is one treatment enough?
Our recommended treatment protocol for fine lines, wrinkles and scarring is 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Some clients have seen great results from only one session, but the average skin concern requires 3 treatments. Remember the rule of thumb – repair always requires more effort than prevention. While results can be seen immediately for skin tone and texture, there is improvement during each treatment with the process of collagen regeneration increasing overtime.
- I have a few acne scars, can you spot treat?
We rarely spot treat our clients. If you have a few acne scars on your face, we can pretty much guarantee you also have a few large pores and textural imperfections that can benefit from the treatment. We also don’t want to improve just one part of your face! We aim for an even texture and tone.
- What does this treatment compare to?
This treatment is comparable with the LUTRONIC® INFINI™, both offering Radio Frequency micro-injuries that penetrate deep into the skin.
