How RF Microneedling Rejuvenates the Skin

A chemical peel is a professional cosmetic treatment whose primary purpose is to the skin and facilitate natural regeneration. The specialized chemical solution applied during the process penetrates the skin to gently lift off dead cells thus making way for new and healthier layers. As a result of this, the fine lines are diminished, texture is smoothed, pigmentation is faded, and a glowing skin is restored.

At Skincare Sommelier Beauty Lab & Med Spa in Forest Hills, Queens, we provide customized chemical peel facials that are able to cover a variety of problems from acne scars and uneven tone to the signs of aging. Each peel is made for your skin type and sensitivity which guarantees noticeable improvement and little downtime.

Our method is a combination of modern science and aesthetic creativity which offers results that are natural-looking, refreshed-feeling, and of benefit to your skin’s health in the long run.

“My goal is to shift the focus from ‘fixing’ skin to nurturing its resilience and natural radiance.”
— Karina Barska, Owner & Aesthetic Director

RF microneedling rejuvenates your skin in two ways: tiny micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing and collagen production, while controlled radiofrequency energy gently heats deeper layers to boost firmness and tone further. 
Clinical studies show that combining RF with microneedling enhances collagen production more effectively than microneedling alone. Many clients choose a series of sessions for the best results. During your consultation, we’ll help you understand what will work best for your skin goals.

RF Microneedling Benefits

RF microneedling goes beyond traditional microneedling by delivering both surface and deep-tissue benefits.

Sommelier Team, says,

Every service at Skincare Sommelier Beauty Lab & Med Spa — from custom facials to advanced RF microneedling — is guided by experience, precision, and genuine care. Our team is committed to helping your skin feel healthier, stronger, and naturally radiant through treatments that honor both science and individuality.

Understanding Fractional Radiofrequency 
Microneedling Technology

Fractional RF microneedling targets precise areas of your skin, leaving surrounding tissue untouched for quicker recovery and enhanced safety. This selective approach enhances safety for pigment-reactive and richly melanated skin tones (Fitzpatrick III–VI), thereby reducing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) while promoting substantial dermal remodeling.

Micro-Needle Precision and Controlled Depth

Our device uses controlled-depth microneedles to customize penetration based on your treatment goals — from surface irregularities to deeper scarring. This ensures even energy distribution and minimizes disruption to the skin’s surface, making the procedure safe for sensitive or pigment-reactive skin.

The Power of Dual RF Energy

The dual aspect of Sylfirm X RF microneedling is what truly sets this technology apart. Sylfirm X is the only FDA-approved RF microneedling device with dual radiofrequency wavelengths, allowing treatments to be fully customized for both skin tightening and pigment or vascular concerns. Its continuous RF mode stimulates collagen and elastin production to visibly lift, firm, and strengthen the skin, while its pulsed RF mode is specifically designed to safely target melasma, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, redness, acne, and post-acne scarring. This advanced dual-mode technology makes Sylfirm X effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types and safe year-round, including summer, delivering comprehensive skin rejuvenation with precision and long-lasting results.

Collagen Induction Therapy – The Healing Response

In Sylfirm X RF microneedling, controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered through ultra-fine microneedles directly into the skin at precise depths. This targeted RF heat stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production while remodeling damaged tissue. The result is firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin, with visible improvement in texture, tone, pigmentation, redness, and overall skin quality — all with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.

How Sylfirm X Works

Sylfirm X is a leading-edge RF microneedling device, recognized for its precision, safety, and ability to treat both skin texture and pigmentation concerns. What sets Sylfirm X apart is its ability to operate in two scientifically validated modes:


  1. Continuous Wave: deep tightening, smoothing, and lifting
  2. Pulsed Wave: melasma, rosacea, redness, and vascular issues


Unlike older RF devices, Sylfirm X stabilizes energy output to avoid overheating pigment-prone or sensitive skin.

Key Advantages of Sylfirm X

  1. Continuous Mode — promotes deep collagen remodeling for firmer, lifted skin.
  2. Pulsed Mode — safely targets vascular and pigment-related concerns like melasma and redness.
  3. Controlled RF Delivery — ensures precision, consistency, and comfort during every session.
  4. Minimal Downtime — return to daily activities quickly while the skin continues to improve.



The NA Effect™ is a proprietary feature of Sylfirm X that makes treatments safer, more precise, and more effective than traditional RF microneedling. NA Effect™ technology allows the device to selectively target abnormal blood vessels and damaged tissue while leaving surrounding healthy skin intact. By intelligently controlling how radiofrequency energy is delivered, Sylfirm X can treat melasma, rosacea, redness, pigmentation, and inflammatory acne without overheating or triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This advanced targeting not only improves results but also makes Sylfirm X safe for all six Fitzpatrick skin types and suitable for year-round treatments, including summer, with minimal downtime and reduced risk of irritation.

Conditions We Treat with Sylfirm X in Forest Hills, NY

Sylfirm X effectively addresses both cosmetic and medical skin concerns. Its selective energy delivery makes it suitable for pigment-prone skin, vascular-sensitive skin, and skin with textural irregularities such as atrophic acne scarring or enlarged pores — all with excellent clinical outcomes.

Melasma Treatment with Sylfirm X

Sylfirm X addresses the vascular factors behind melasma — a key cause that many traditional treatments miss — helping to reduce dark patches safely and effectively. 

Rosacea and Redness

For patients seeking relief from redness, Sylfirm X reduces vascular overactivity, flushing, and inflammation by stabilizing abnormal blood vessels. Over a series of treatments, patients notice calmer skin, reduced redness, and a more even complexion.

Acne Scars and Texture

Skincare Sommelier Beauty Lab & Med Spa specialize in RF microneedling acne scar treatment in Forest Hills, NY — ideal for atrophic scars, post-acne marks, textured skin, and enlarged pores. The RF energy stimulates collagen regeneration beneath scar tissue, gradually elevating and smoothing the skin’s surface.

Skin Tightening & Fine Lines

If you’re looking for RF microneedling for skin tightening, Sylfirm X contracts existing collagen while promoting new elastin formation. This softens fine lines, improves contour, and restores a youthful, supple appearance.

Did full body laser hair removal including intimate laser. Way easier than I thought, basically painless and you can feel the cooling which helps a lot.

I had the best experience with Halyna for laser hair removal! From the very beginning, she made me feel so comfortable and explained the entire process in detail. She’s extremely professional, gentle, and knowledgeable. The treatment was quick and way less painful than I expected.

After just a few sessions, I’ve already noticed such a big difference — slower growth and smoother skin. Her space is clean, welcoming, and very calming. You can tell she truly cares about her clients and their results.

I highly recommend Halyna to anyone considering laser hair removal. She’s amazing at what she does and makes the whole experience easy and stress-free! ✨

Tried microneedling for the first time and Karina made it such a great experience! She explained everything she was doing, what products were being used and checked in on how I was feeling at all the right times. She’s basically a human dictionary of helpful knowledge and once she was familiar with my skin, was spot-on at recognizing what I needed straight away. I’m always so comfortable getting treatments from her knowing that my skin is in such great hands! Did a facial massage with her too that was so relaxing and helped reduce a lot of inflammation. I have no doubt that Karina’s thoughtfulness, professionalism and energy is part of what makes visiting Skincare Sommelier such a wonderful experience every time. I would highly recommend the microneedling treatment and facial massages, and I’m definitely going to returning to try other treatments!

I had a fantastic facial experience with Karina—she was incredibly attentive to my skin’s needs. From the start, she was honest and took the time to explain the right skincare routine and products for my very dehydrated skin. Just one day later, my skin is glowing and dewy. I can’t recommend her services enough, and the price is very reasonable for the quality you receive. Thank you and I can't wait to be back!

Ive been going to Irina for my lips when she was located in Jersey, so of course i made the trip to see her at this new location for a touch up on my lips!! This place was so cute with chic decor, very clean & everyone was SO NICE. I was taken care of right away by the woman at the front desk (she was so sweet) & the irina blessed me again with beautiful lips😍🥰✨ her technique & attention to detail is insane. She is so talented & I cant wait to make the trip again! 🫶🏼 Also, very reasonable pricing for the work you’re getting. I loved my whole experience.

I walked into Skin Care Sommelier a year ago out of pure curiosity, but also with deep unhappiness about what had happened to my face over the previous five years. My skin had started looking sunken, dull, and lacking vibrancy. In my early 40s, I wasn't ready for aging to show up this way.

Karina and Irene have been absolutely amazing. From day one, they've made me feel completely at home. They're warm, inviting, and genuinely funny—they know exactly how to calm me down when I'm nervous. I've even worked from their office while my face is being numbed! They never push anything on me—just thoughtful suggestions that have left me truly happy with what I see in the mirror.

I've done everything from Sculptra to the most incredible facials (I literally pass out during them, they're so relaxing). Most recently, I got Radiesse and an amazing microneedling treatment with Sylfirm X, the first FDA-approved microneedling device, to treat my melasma and tighten my skin. As promised, this treatment left me with no redness, and other than the fact that I could already see the skin around my neck had tightened and my skin absolutely glowing, you couldn't tell at all that I'd had anything done.

A year later, I couldn't be happier with my results and the care I've received. Highly recommend!
