Am I a Candidate for XERF?
XERF skin tightening is a next-generation, non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment that tightens your skin from the inside out, with no needles, no numbing, and no downtime for recovery.
XERF uses multifrequency monopolar RF to deliver energy to shallow, middle, and deep layers, including the SMAS, triggering and promoting collagen remodeling for an immediate yet subtle lift with continued firming over the weeks to follow. Comfortable cooling is built in, and settings are personalized to your skin, so your results look noticeable but still natural.
Are You a Candidate?
You might be a viable candidate if you are noticing mild to moderate laxity, which is softening along the jawline or cheeks, and want a non-surgical option.
XERF can be a good option for you if:
- Are interested in preventative anti-aging treatments.
- Wish to improve your mild to moderate skin laxity.
- Are you noticing early jowls or jawline softening?
- Looking for a non-surgical alternative to skin tightening surgery.
- Prefer treatments with minimal downtime or recovery.
XERF is suitable for both younger patients interested in prevention and patients seeking improvement in visible signs of aging.
People do not want to wait until visible aging appears to fix their skin or related issues. Instead, many are choosing to take a proactive approach, treating issues earlier to help avoid the common aging characteristics before they develop.
XERF is a game-changer when it comes to early anti-aging treatments. If another option would better serve your goals, such as RF microneedling for texture and tightening or laser resurfacing for pigment, your medical expert will explain the pros and cons and help you choose.
What Is XERF Skin Tightening?
XERF is an advanced non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to improve the appearance of your sagging or loose skin while creating firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Unlike a surgical procedure, XERF requires no incisions, needles, or downtime, allowing you to return immediately to work and your normal daily activities. Consider it to be like a laser treatment, but it bypasses the surface of your skin. Therefore, there is no skin or epidermal injury, so there is 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 and at three depths. This effort ultimately stimulates collagen and elastin remodeling, which then strengthens your skin’s internal support structure and improves firmness and elasticity.
This multi-layered and pulse-heating approach is unique and delivers even deeper than the dermis to tighten the ligaments attaching the deeper structures of your skin to the epidermis. These ligaments are the real anchors of your skin; so, they tether the multiple layers of tissue to create a taut and firmer appearance.
As new collagen and elastin form and the dermal structure strengthens, your skin becomes:
- Firmer.
- Smoother.
- More lifted in appearance.
- Better supported structurally.
How Many XERF Treatments Are Needed?
For optimal results, you will benefit from three treatments spaced about 6–8 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.
