We tried their newest treatment, StemSyl X, which combines microneedling with radiofrequency to trigger collagen production, tightening pores and smoothing texture.It tackles skin concerns such as melasma, wrinkles, acne, enlarged pores, and helps activate hair follicles and promote hair regrowth. Thankfully no pain thanks to the generous amount of numbing cream applied. But the real flex? A week later, our face still looks like we’d had eight hours of sleep… and a filter.
