Radiofrequency Microneedling
Care Instructions

Sylfirm-X is a non-surgical procedure that uses radiofrequency technology for skin rejuvenation, targeting issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, melasma, and uneven skin tone. It tightens and tones the face and body.

Prepare For Your Procedure

  1. Avoid Alcohol – Abstaining from alcohol for 2 to 3 days before your appointment is recommended, as alcohol can act as a blood thinner and elevate the risk of bruising.
  2. Avoid herbal supplements such as fish oil, ginkgo, ginseng, St. John's Wort, and garlic pills. Continuing a multivitamin is fine.
  3. For best results, increase protein intake one week prior and for one week after. Avoid processed foods and sugar.
  4. Cease the use of any facial products containing salicylic acid, glycolic acid, retinoic acid, retinol or lactic acid at least three days prior to your treatment.
  5. If you have a dental implant, please inform your provider, as they will place a gauze between your teeth and gums during the procedure to optimize safety and comfort.
  6. Discuss any allergies and all current medications with your provider beforehand. Let your CULT Aesthetics Clinic provider know if you are taking Isotretinoin or any Accutane type medications, have autoimmune diseases, bleeding disorders, uncontrolled diabetes, those who are pregnant, suffering from illnesses or infections, have active acne or with a history of keloid scarring or cold sores prior to your procedure.
