RF Microneedling
Smooth, even, youthful skin is something everyone deserves to feel confident in. Over time, fine lines, acne scars, dark spots, redness, or uneven tone can make skin appear tired or rough. RF microneedling uses your body’s own healing processes to renew skin from within, offering a simple, clinically proven path to visible renewal.
At Belle Vie Aesthetic Medicine in Lexington, KY, we’re proud to offer personalized treatment protocols with Sylfirm X, the most advanced RF microneedling technology available today. This innovative treatment combines the collagen-boosting benefits of microneedling with targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy to improve tone, texture, and firmness from deep within the skin.

RF microneedling combines the collagen-stimulating power of traditional microneedling with the skin-tightening benefits of radiofrequency (RF) energy. This advanced treatment uses fine, gold-tipped needles to deliver controlled RF heat beneath the skin’s surface, encouraging new collagen and elastin growth.
At Belle Vie Aesthetic Medicine, we use Sylfirm X, an FDA-approved RF microneedling system that treats a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and acne scars to discoloration and uneven texture. It’s a gentle yet powerful option for patients who want smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin without surgery or extensive downtime.
Sylfirm X is the world’s first FDA-approved RF microneedling device featuring both pulsed and continuous wave radiofrequency (RF). This innovative Dual Wave RF technology can be used on a wide range of skin types, targeting both skin laxity and pigmentation for ultimate skin revitalization.
Sylfirm X features RP (repeated ultra-short pulse) microneedling technology, which selectively targets abnormal blood vessels and tissues. Combining an exceptional treatment depth of 300 microns with RF energy delivered through evenly-leveled electrodes, Sylfirm X ensures precise thermal coagulation at targeted depths.
This allows it to effectively treat conditions like increased pigmentation and vascular lesions. It is the only RF microneedling device approved to safely treat neovascularity, including challenging conditions such as rosacea and melasma.
Sylfirm X has proven its effectiveness and safety through 25+ clinical studies. Learn more at http://www.sylfirm-x.com/.
Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals and determine the ideal treatment settings for your skin type. On the day of your procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. The Sylfirm X device is then passed over the treatment area in a series of precise passes, each delivering gentle RF energy through ultrafine microneedles.
Most sessions take about 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Afterward, your skin may appear flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a day or two. You can resume most normal activities right away, making RF microneedling a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
RF microneedling is an effective, versatile treatment for a wide range of skin concerns. At Belle Vie, we often recommend Sylfirm X for:
By combining microneedling with RF energy, Sylfirm X targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, improving tone, texture, and overall skin health.
Sylfirm X can safely treat the face, neck, décolletage, and body. It’s especially effective for rejuvenating delicate areas like the under-eye region and around the mouth, where skin tends to show early signs of aging. It is also an excellent option for targeting stretch marks and mild skin laxity almost anywhere on the body.
RF microneedling helps you achieve a refreshed, naturally youthful appearance by strengthening your skin from within. It promotes collagen and elastin remodeling, which improves firmness and elasticity while softening lines, clearing hyperpigmentation, and smoothing texture.
Many patients notice a more even tone, reduced redness, and a radiant glow that continues to improve over several months as new collagen forms.
RF microneedling is a good fit for most adults who want to enhance their skin’s texture and tone without invasive procedures. It’s safe for most skin types and tones, making it an excellent choice for those seeking gentle, predictable results.
You may not be a candidate for RF microneedling if you are pregnant, have active acne or skin infections, or have recently undergone certain laser treatments. During your consultation, your provider will discuss your goals, medical history, and the best timing for your treatment plan.
You can expect little to no downtime after your RF microneedling treatment. Some patients may experience mild redness or light flushing for a few hours after treatment, though most can return to their regular activities immediately. Using gentle cleansers, moisturizer, and daily SPF will help protect and calm the skin. Any visible redness typically fades within 24–48 hours, leaving behind a smoother, refreshed complexion.
You can expect to see significant improvements after just three sessions with the Sylfirm X device. For melasma and hyperpigmentation, clinical studies show a 20-30% reduction in pigmentation after a single session. For open pores, clinical studies indicate a 20-25% reduction in pore size after just one session. Fine lines, mild laxity, and texture concerns like acne scars are also noticeably reduced.
Beyond these measurable outcomes, clients notice that their skin feels firmer, brighter, and more even within a few weeks. As collagen continues to remodel, results improve progressively over the next three to six months, revealing a more youthful and radiant appearance that can last for a year or longer with proper care.

Sylfirm X releases energy at 2MHz through 300 micron needle tips, allowing it to target precise depths, ranging from 0.3mm to 4mm, based on the treatment indication. This precision sets it apart from conventional microneedling RF devices.
During each penetration, the 300 micron needles stay in the skin for the optimal duration needed to achieve the desired effect without causing thermal damage. The 2MHz energy strengthens and enhances skin health by repairing damaged skin cells and blood vessels and remodeling skin collagen through increased production of collagen and elastin.
The combination of pulsed waves and NA effect ensures selective coagulation using bipolar non-insulated needles. This approach treats damaged skin cells while maintaining overall skin health.
Most patients see noticeable results after just one treatment, but a series of three sessions spaced four to six weeks apart provides optimal results for collagen remodeling and texture improvement.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as light pressure or warmth.
The visible benefits of an RF microneedling treatment can last up to 12–18 months, depending on your age, skin health, and ongoing skincare routine.
Yes! Sylfirm X is designed to be safe and effective for all skin tones, including darker skin that may not tolerate traditional lasers as well.

Yes. Sylfirm X is the only RF microneedling device FDA-approved to safely treat neovascularity, making it effective for conditions like rosacea and melasma.
