When Will I See the Results of My XERF Treatment?
XERF is an advanced, non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to improve the appearance of sagging or loose skin, while creating firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Unlike surgical procedures, XERF treatment requires no incisions, needles, or downtime, allowing you to return immediately to work and your normal daily activities. Think of it similarly to a “LASER” treatment, but it bypasses the surface of your skin; therefore, there is no skin or epidermal injury, no redness, scaling, or usual laser-associated downtime.
The XERF treatment is performed by delivering targeted radiofrequency energy into your skin with different pulse durations at three different depths. This stimulates collagen and elastin remodeling, which will strengthen the skin’s internal support structure and improve skin firmness and elasticity.
This multi-layered and pulse-heating approach is unique and works deeper than the dermis to also tighten the ligaments attaching the deeper structures of the skin to the epidermis. These ligaments are the anchors of your skin; therefore, they tether the multiple layers of your tissue to create a taut and firmer appearance.
Key Benefits
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles with smoother, more refined skin.
- Tightens periocular skin and lifts your drooping eyelids.
- Enhances skin elasticity and improves laxity.
- Restores fullness to your apple cheeks for more defined facial contours.
- Firms your jawline and sharpens facial definition.
- Reshapes the submental triangle, reducing double chin formation.
What Happens During a XERF Treatment?
XERF treatments are quick, comfortable, and non-invasive. During your treatment, you will feel a warm sensation as the RF energy is delivered to your skin. No numbing is required.
After treatment, you may notice:
- Mild redness.
- Slight swelling.
These effects are temporary and usually resolve quickly. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
When Will You See Results From XERF?
Many patients notice improvements in their skin firmness soon after treatment, but actual results are usually seen within three to six months. The most significant improvements develop gradually as your body produces new collagen and elastin.
How Many XERF Treatments Are Needed?
For optimal results, you will benefit from three treatments spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. Because collagen production takes time, multiple treatments will allow your skin to gradually tighten and strengthen. Annual maintenance treatments will help maintain long-term results. Skin tightening and contour improvements will continue to develop for up to six months following your treatment. Sometimes XERF can be complemented with the addition of biostimulator fillers to subtly restore global volume, further enhancing the lifting effect.
Who Is a Good Candidate for XERF?
XERF can be a good option for you if:
- You are interested in preventative anti-aging treatments.
- You want to improve mild to moderate skin laxity.
- You are noticing early jowls or jawline softening.
- You want a non-surgical alternative to skin-tightening surgery.
- You prefer treatments with minimal downtime.
It is a suitable option for both younger patients interested in prevention and patients who are seeking improvement in visible signs of aging.
Many people no longer want to wait until visible aging appears to fix their skin or cosmetic issues. Many are choosing to take a proactive approach, treating early to avoid the common aging characteristics before they develop. XERF is a breakthrough in early anti-aging treatments.
