If you’ve noticed a new name on our treatment menu, you’re not imagining it. XERF is one of the newest additions to our Face Treatments lineup, and it’s quickly become one of the questions we hear most at the front desk: “What exactly is XERF, and how is it different from everything else?”
Here’s a closer look.
What Is XERF?
XERF is a noninvasive skin tightening treatment that uses multi-frequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production deep within the skin. Unlike many earlier RF devices, which deliver energy at a single depth, XERF combines two frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz to reach the shallow, middle, and deep layers of tissue in a single session.
In practice, that means more comprehensive treatment with fewer compromises: no numbing, no needles, and no downtime.
How XERF Works
XERF’s dual-frequency design lets your provider target different depths of tissue depending on your specific concerns. The system’s Wave Fit pulse technology delivers controlled bursts of thermal RF energy, while built-in cooling technology (Integrated Cryogen Delivery) keeps the treatment comfortable throughout.
As the RF energy reaches the targeted tissue, it gently heats water molecules within the skin, creating a controlled thermal response. This signals your body to ramp up its natural healing process; producing new collagen and elastin fibers that repair and strengthen the treated area over time.
The result, as that collagen and elastin rebuild, is firmer, smoother, more lifted-looking skin.
What Does XERF Treat?
XERF is most commonly used to address:
- Loose or sagging skin, particularly along the jawline and neck
- Early signs of collagen loss
- Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face
Because the system offers multiple depth settings and intensity levels, your provider can customize each session to your skin’s specific needs; there’s no one-size-fits-all protocol.
What to Expect During Treatment
A typical XERF session takes about 45 minutes. You’ll feel a warming sensation as the RF energy is delivered, balanced by the device’s cooling technology to keep things comfortable. There’s no numbing required, and most clients return to their normal routine immediately afterward.
Results build gradually as your body produces new collagen, with many clients noticing initial tightening within the first few weeks and continued improvement over the following months.
Curious If XERF Is Right for You?
The best way to know is a conversation. During a consult, we’ll talk through your goals and skin concerns and help you decide whether XERF or a combination of treatments makes the most sense for you.
