XERF
Specialist

How does XERF work?

The monopolar RF thermal energy is delivered simultaneously to multiple layers of the skin, which causes a temporary contraction of the existing collagen fibers. This provides immediate lifting of the skin. For long term results, the treatment also stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin over time. The result is firmer, healthier looking skin.

Does having a XERF treatment hurt?

Finally, a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that patients don’t dread sitting in the treatment chair for. In fact, most patients describe the sensation of the treatment as a calming, warm massage with just gentle tingling. Many patients actively look forward to their next treatment. The integrated cooling technology and “wave fit” pulse patterns keep the skin cool and comfortable, so much so that numbing cream and/or anesthesia aren’t necessary.

What areas can be treated with XERF?

XERF is highly versatile and can be used on the:

• Face & Jawline: Tighten up those jowls and define the profile.
• Eyes & Brows: Lift the brow and reduce under-eye puffiness.
• Neck & Décolletage: Smooth out “crepey” skin and wrinkles.
• Body: Including the abdomen, arms, and thighs for firming.

How long does a XERF session take?

Patients should expect each session to take 30-60 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated in one session.

Is there any downtime with XERF?

None. Some patients may experience mild redness and warmth immediately after treatment, but these fade within a couple hours. Patients can return to normal, everyday activities immediately.

When will I see results from XERF and how long will they last?

• Immediate: Most patients report tighter facial skin right after treatment.
• Long-term: As that new collagen builds, thanks to the kickstart from the treatment, the optimal results will emerge three to six months post-treatment.
• Longevity: Results typically last 12-18 months, depending on lifestyle, age and other factors like heredity, diet, exercise, etc.

How many XERF treatments are needed for best results?

The vast majority of patients will see results after one session, but we recommend two to three initial treatments, spaced about two months apart to see optimal results. Then, in most cases, one to two maintenance sessions per year thereafter.

Who is a good candidate for XERF?

The XERF treatment is ideal for women and men with moderate skin laxity and who are seeking a non-surgical option to correct sagging, loose skin. The modality allows for patients with all skin types and tones to be treated.

What makes XERF different from other non-surgical skin tightening treatments?

The XERF is the first system to offer multifrequency monopolar RF, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies to target both the superficial dermis and the deep SMAS layer. The SMAS layer (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) is the foundational layer of tissue right beneath the skin layer. The SMAS layer is key to lifting and tightening loose, sagging skin.
