Experience the next evolution in skin rejuvenation. RF Microneedling with the Sylfirm X at NuDerma Laser Clinic in North Vancouver combines the precision of ultra fine microneedles with the regenerative power of radiofrequency energy delivered deep into the skin’s dermal layers to trigger the body’s most powerful healing and collagen production response. The result is genuinely transformative: visibly firmer, tighter skin; refined pores; reduced scars and stretch marks; softened fine lines; and an overall luminosity that turns back the clock. If you are ready for your most radiant skin yet, NuDerma’s RF Microneedling experience is designed for you.

The Sylfirm X is the world’s most advanced RF microneedling system and the only device with dual-wave technology (pulsed and continuous wave RF) that allows our clinicians to precisely target distinct skin structures. Forty two ultra fine gold coated microneedles are inserted into the skin at controlled depths (0.3mm to 4.0mm), where they simultaneously emit radiofrequency energy. This dual action creates controlled micro injuries in the dermis while delivering thermal energy that stimulates fibroblasts the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Over the weeks and months following treatment, the skin’s natural repair process is supercharged, resulting in measurable improvements in skin laxity, texture, tone, and overall radiance.

Unlike ablative resurfacing, RF Microneedling at NuDerma requires minimal downtime most clients experience mild redness and slight swelling that resolves within 24 to 48 hours. A topical numbing cream is applied before the session to ensure your comfort throughout. Most clients require 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results, with continued improvement visible for up to 6 months post-treatment as collagen remodelling progresses.

Technology & Benefits

Section Separator Image

Deep Collagen Stimulation

Dual-wave RF energy triggers the deepest layers of the dermis, activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin for lasting structural improvement.

Skin Tightening & Lifting

Radiofrequency thermal energy contracts existing collagen fibres while stimulating new growth — creating a noticeable lift and firming effect in the jowl, cheek, and neck area.

Pore Refinement

The micro-injury and thermal response dramatically reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, leaving skin with a smoother, more refined texture.

Scar & Stretch Mark Reduction

RF Microneedling is clinically proven to significantly improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks by remodelling fibrous scar tissue.

Rosacea & Vascular Improvement

Sylfirm X's unique pulsed wave technology targets abnormal blood vessels and pigmentation, making it the gold standard for rosacea, redness, and diffuse capillaries.

Safe for All Skin Types

The Sylfirm X is clinically safe and effective across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones, with no risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
