What Is XERF Skin Tightening?
XERF is a noninvasive monopolar radiofrequency treatment that delivers controlled energy beneath the skin’s surface. It is the first system to combine 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies, allowing providers to target shallow, middle, and deeper tissue layers.
The controlled heat created during treatment is designed to support the skin’s natural collagen-remodeling process, helping produce a smoother, firmer, and more refreshed appearance over time.
Unlike treatments that use needles or require topical anesthetic, XERF was developed to provide effective radiofrequency energy while maintaining patient comfort.
Benefits of XERF Structural Skin Tightening
XERF may be an excellent option for patients looking for skin rejuvenation without invasive procedures or an extended recovery period. Treatment benefits include:
- Nonsurgical and noninvasive treatment with zero needles or injections
- Designed as a Never-Numb™ treatment with no topical numbing required
- Little to no downtime needed post-procedure
- Three adjustable treatment depths paired with ten intensity settings
- Real-time skin impedance monitoring and integrated cooling for maximum comfort
- Delivers smoother, tighter, and firmer-looking skin
How Does XERF Work?
XERF uses two radiofrequency wavelengths—6.78 MHz and 2 MHz—to deliver energy at different depths beneath the skin. This multifrequency approach gives your provider greater control over where the energy is delivered.
The system’s Wave Fit™ pulse technology and Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery cooling help manage energy delivery while protecting the skin’s surface. Accurate Impedance Feedback analyzes the skin during treatment, allowing the system to adjust for each patient’s individual skin profile.
With three depth settings and ten intensity levels, every XERF treatment can be tailored to the patient rather than relying on a single standard setting.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation to evaluate your skin, review medical history, and select appropriate depth and energy settings. During treatment, you will feel a gentle, controlled warmth as radiofrequency energy enters the targeted tissue. Integrated cooling maintains patient comfort throughout the session.
Is XERF Right for Me?
XERF is suitable for adults looking to treat mild-to-moderate skin laxity, loss of firmness, or uneven skin texture without undergoing surgical procedures.
