I truly appreciate you taking the time to consider a surgical procedure at Allen Aesthetic Surgery. I understand how much time, thought, and planning you have likely invested in this process. I deeply regret to inform you that I will be relocating from North Carolina to Tennessee to be closer to family and will discontinue surgical procedures in September 2026. As a result, I will be unable to provide long-term follow-up care after that time. Virtual care may be an option in some circumstances; however, this is a decision you must feel comfortable with. Your safety and aesthetic goals remain very important to me, and I want to ensure you are supported as much as possible during this transition.

For larger procedures, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or similar surgery, it may be in your best interest to consult with another surgeon, as these cases generally require a longer recovery period. Smaller procedures, such as blepharoplasty or liposuction, may still be possible during August and September. Ultimately, however, the decision about how you wish to proceed is entirely yours as long as you understand that I will not be seeing patients beyond October 23, 2026.

I will not be performing any surgical procedures beyond mid-September. This decision is intended to protect your safety and ensure that no patient is left without appropriate follow-up care or support during the recovery process.
I am truly sorry that I cannot continue as your physician, and I extend my warmest wishes for your future health, confidence, and happiness.

You are not too old and it's never too late.....

Top 5 Skin Concerns SYLFIRM X Microneedling Can Address

If you’re frustrated with stubborn skin issues that don’t respond to creams or facials, SYLFIRM X microneedling might be the solution you’ve been searching for. As one of the most advanced RF (radiofrequency) microneedling technologies available today, SYLFIRM X stands out for its ability to target both superficial and deeper skin concerns with precision.

At Allen Aesthetic Surgery in Raleigh, NC, patients trust Dr. Amber L. Allen for her artist’s eye and medically grounded expertise. With over a decade of surgical experience and a background in fine arts, Dr. Allen brings a unique perspective to cosmetic care, including SYLFIRM X microneedling. Explore five common skin challenges this treatment can address below.

1. Facial Redness and Rosacea

Research published in the Journal of Cosmetic & Laser Therapy shows that SYLFIRM X can effectively reduce vascular lesions. This capability makes it particularly effective for conditions such as facial redness and rosacea. The dual-wave RF energy targets abnormal blood vessels while calming inflammation for clearer, more even-toned skin.

2. Acne Scarring

Whether you’re dealing with pitted scars or uneven skin texture from past breakouts, SYLFIRM X helps remodel scar tissue. Its microneedles create tiny, controlled injuries that stimulate the production of essential proteins like collagen and elastin. This results in visibly smoother skin over time.

3. Fine Lines and Wrinkles

SYLFIRM X is useful for correction and prevention. It tightens skin by boosting collagen production, which can minimize fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. These effects help you maintain a youthful appearance without surgery.

4. Skin Laxity and Sagging

SYLFIRM X’s radiofrequency energy penetrates deeply into the dermis. This provides impressive skin-tightening effects for areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and neck. It’s a non-surgical option for patients seeking a firmer, lifted appearance with minimal downtime.

5. Hyperpigmentation and Melasma

Unlike other devices, SYLFIRM X is safe for all skin tones and particularly effective for treating melasma and stubborn pigmentation. Its targeted energy disrupts abnormal pigment while minimizing skin trauma, making it ideal for sensitive skin types.
