Sylfirm X

Dual-Wave RF Microneedling for Precision Skin Renewal
Serving Lake Norman, Huntersville, Davidson, Mooresville, and the Greater Charlotte Area

Sylfirm X is the world’s first and only RF microneedling device that delivers both pulsed and continuous wave energy. At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center, it plays a pivotal role in our regenerative aesthetic approach—treating skin laxity, redness, melasma, texture, and tone using science-backed precision and minimal downtime.

What Is Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X combines ultrafine, insulated microneedles with dual-mode radiofrequency energy to treat both the structure and vascular biology of the skin. Its two delivery modes—pulsed and continuous—allow us to address a wide range of concerns in a single device:

Skin laxity and fine lines

Redness, flushing, and rosacea

Melasma and pigmentation

Acne scars and enlarged pores

Skin texture and dull tone

Eyelids, neck, and other delicate areas

What Is the Na Effect?

The "Na Effect," named after Dr. JongJu Na—the innovator behind Sylfirm X’s technology—refers to the device’s teardrop-shaped radiofrequency energy delivery, which enables uniform and wider energy dispersion into the dermis. This allows Sylfirm X to treat multiple skin conditions simultaneously, with consistent and efficient energy spread across the treatment zone.

The Na Effect minimizes hot spots, enhances safety, and improves outcomes in both vascular and pigmentary disorders. It is especially beneficial for:

Rosacea and visible vascularity

Melasma and post-inflammatory pigmentation

Redness and reactive skin conditions

The Importance of Insulated Needles

Sylfirm X uses fully insulated microneedles, which protect the upper layers of the skin while directing radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis—where collagen and elastin are produced. This targeted delivery reduces the risk of surface burns, hyperpigmentation, and downtime, making it safer for all skin tones.

How Does This Compare to Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 also uses partially insulated needles—delivering energy only at the tip. While this offers some epidermal protection, it lacks the broad and uniform energy spread provided by Sylfirm X’s teardrop pattern.

The Saluja Approach

Sylfirm X is a key part of our Signature regenerative protocols at Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center. We use it not only to improve the surface of the skin but also to treat the biological changes beneath it—rebuilding collagen, strengthening vessels, and supporting healthier skin function overall.

Whether used as a standalone or as part of a customized regenerative plan, Sylfirm X reflects our philosophy: treat the cause, not just the symptom—and always with precision and intention.

Why Patients Trust Dr. Saluja

Each Sylfirm X treatment is planned and performed by Dr. Minni Saluja—a board-certified ophthalmologist, fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologist, and holder of a Master’s in Regenerative Medicine. With nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Saluja is known for her scientific depth, injection precision, and commitment to results that are elegant and lasting.
