"I received melasma treatment,

so why does it keep coming back?"

Have you had laser toning several times, only to see it lighten for a while and then return?

The reason melasma is especially difficult to treat is that it is not simply a pigment problem.

If melasma keeps recurring, it may be due to abnormally increased blood vessels.

These blood vessels continuously stimulate melanocytes, so even if the pigment is removed, it can come back.

That is why people like this need a method that addresses both pigment and blood vessels at the same time.

That method is Sylfirm X.

Today, I’ll explain in detail how Sylfirm X works on melasma.

Sylfirm X The real reason melasma comes back

Before talking about Sylfirm X, let’s learn a bit more about melasma.

Melasma is pigmentation caused by excessive melanin production. That is why most treatments focus on removing this pigment.

However, there are cases where it returns even after the pigment is removed as much as possible.

One reason is the presence of abnormally increased blood vessels in the dermal layer of the melasma area. Substances released from these blood vessels continuously stimulate melanocytes.

As a result, the pigment keeps forming again even after treatment.

Conventional laser toning breaks down pigment without affecting the blood vessels.

So the approach needs to target the blood vessels as well.

What is the mechanism of Sylfirm X?

Sylfirm X delivers radiofrequency energy through microneedles.

Up to this point, it is similar to other radiofrequency devices.

What makes Sylfirm X different is that it has a melasma-specific mode that can selectively destroy abnormal blood vessels.

When the blood vessels are reduced, the factors that stimulate melanocytes also decrease, which can help prevent pigment from resurfacing.

Another important point is that there is almost no damage to the epidermis.

With conventional lasers, heat often passes through the epidermis and causes irritation. This irritation could even lead to hyperpigmentation.

However, Sylfirm X generates heat only at the tip of the needles, so it can stimulate only the dermal layer while protecting the epidermis.

Sylfirm X for melasma How can the results be maintained?

In melasma treatment, aftercare is just as important as the procedure itself. No matter how good the treatment is, if aftercare is not done properly, it can come back.

The most important thing is sun protection.

Ultraviolet rays are the biggest factor that directly stimulates melanocytes. After treatment, the skin becomes more sensitive, so you need to apply it more carefully than usual.

It is recommended to reapply a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every 2 to 3 hours.

The second is moisturizing.

When the skin barrier weakens, it becomes more vulnerable to external irritation. When the skin is irritated, an inflammatory response can occur, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may develop.

It is important to restore the skin barrier with a low-irritation moisturizer.

The third is consistent care.

Melasma does not disappear all at once. It is usually improved through several treatments at intervals of 3 to 4 weeks.

Even after the initial intensive treatment, maintenance care is needed for the results to last longer.

Today, we talked about the effects of Sylfirm X for melasma treatment.

Melasma may not be solved by removing pigment alone. To reduce recurrence, a combined approach that considers blood vessels, the dermal environment, and lifestyle habits is necessary.

If you are considering treatment, I recommend getting a thorough consultation about the condition of your melasma and which approach is right for you.
