While this is likely a great option in your journey, with scarring you’ll often have to use multiple modalities to meet your skin goals. We won’t lie, active acne and scarring are the most stubborn conditions we treat in clinic!

We treat a high volume of scarring clients and often several other modalities and products to create an individual treatment plan to address your specific scarring.

• Assessment: You’ll be assessed by our medical professionals first to determine what type of scarring you have. This is important to determine treatments that will be effective for your specific type of scarring.

• Subcision: Breaks apart tethered scars. Best done before or at the same time as microneedling.

• JetPeel Pro Infusions: Individualized skin infusions based on scaring and skin needs.

• Platelet Rich-Plasma: Using your own bloods growth factors to stimulate healing of acne and scars.

• Exosomes: Cell-to-cell communicators that deliver growth factors and anti-inflammatory molecules that reduce inflammation, promote cellular regeneration, and collagen production for smoother skin.

• Chemical Peels: Best done after more aggressive treatments to smooth the top layer or skin and increase cellular turnover.

You can expect little to no true downtime, just a little social downtime. Certain patients may see some redness and light flushing for 24-48 hours but they will still be able to proceed with daily activities. Pair this treatment with exosomes for a speedier recovery and less redness. Please remember to use sunscreen to protect your skin!

We won’t lie, it’s a little punchy BUT compared to other RF microneedling devices, this is the most comfortable one! Hence why we chose this device. Our founder has a low pain-tolerance, so comfort was top of our mind when choosing a device. The feeling is described by most patients as relatively comfortable, 3-4/10 with slight heat. Plus, since we are a medical spa, we are able to use prescription strength numbing cream to increase comfort!

Traditional microneedling uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries, without the radiofrequency component. Sylfirm X RF microneedling penetrates deeper and combines radiofrequency (RF) energy, which generates heat deep in the skin. Therefore targeting both the skin’s surface and deeper layers. It’s advanced RP (Repeated Pulse) technology selectively treats tough concerns like acne, acne scarring, rosacea, melasma, and skin laxity while leaving healthy skin untouched, delivering longer-lasting and more effective results.
