What Is XERF?
XERF is an advanced monopolar radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment that delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
By heating the deeper dermal layers while protecting the skin surface, XERF helps improve firmness, elasticity and overall skin quality over time.
Unlike traditional skin tightening devices, XERF is designed with advanced cooling and energy delivery technology to maximise comfort while delivering effective collagen stimulation.
The treatment can be used across multiple areas of the face and body, making it a versatile option for both preventative and corrective rejuvenation.
Why Clients Choose XERF
Visible Lifting & Firming
Helps tighten lax skin and redefine facial contours through advanced RF technology.
Collagen Regeneration
Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother skin.
Minimal Downtime
Most clients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Advanced Comfort Cooling
Integrated cooling technology helps maximise comfort throughout treatment.
How Does XERF Work?
The XERF system is a next-generation skin tightening treatment that uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF), combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz energy to deliver controlled heat into the deeper structural layers of the skin.
This targeted thermal stimulation activates the body’s natural wound-healing response, boosting the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over time, this leads to firmer, smoother, and more lifted skin.
Key technology features include Wave Fit™ pulsing and integrated cryogen cooling, which help regulate energy delivery, protect the skin’s surface temperature, and ensure a comfortable “Never-Numb™” treatment experience. Sessions are also shorter compared to traditional RF devices, improving treatment efficiency.
Customisable RF Skin Tightening Treatment
XERF offers a fully customisable radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment designed to adapt to each individual’s unique skin profile. Using Accurate Impedance Feedback, the system analyses skin in real time, allowing precise adjustment through multiple depth settings and intensity levels for a tailored treatment experience.
Clients typically notice gradual improvements in:
Jawline definition
Skin laxity and firmness
Skin texture and smoothness
Elasticity
Fine lines
Overall skin quality
Frequently asked questions
-
In in-vivo studies, Cynosure Lutronic measured internal skin temperatures of 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C using ultrasound-guided fiber-optic imaging. Following the XERF treatment, histological analysis confirmed collagen remodeling.
-
Histological evidence from in-vivo porcine studies shows increased thickening and tightening of collagen bundles at multiple tissue depths, along with an observable upward pull in the fascia.
-
Histological analysis from multiple clinical studies confirms the XERF system delivers RF energy to the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System). The SMAS is a foundational tissue layer beneath the skin that plays a key role in lifting and tightening sagging skin and reducing the appearance of jowls.
Side effects are usually mild. The skin may appear red similar to a sunburn, but this subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Other side effects, such as blisters, are extremely rare.
-
While there’s no universally agreed-upon timeline, many practitioners recommend waiting between two to six months after facelift surgery before undergoing energy-based skin tightening. This guidance is largely anecdotal and varies depending on individual healing and the specific procedure performed.
-
Some patients may notice mild redness or swelling immediately after treatment, but these effects typically subside within 24 hours.
-
To prolong the benefits of XERF treatment, it’s important to stick to a consistent skincare routine and prioritize sun protection. This means applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, steering clear of harsh or irritating products, and supporting your skin health through a balanced lifestyle.
Achieving optimal results may require a series of sessions, and periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve the improvements over time. Depending on your skin type and treatment plan, the effects of XERF can last anywhere from several weeks to up to three years.
For enhanced and longer-lasting outcomes, XERF can be combined with other non-invasive procedures. This integrated approach helps improve skin tone, texture, and radiance - ensuring your skin stays vibrant and youthful well beyond the initial treatment.
-
XERF RF skin tightening may be a suitable option if you:
Have mild to moderate skin laxity in areas like the lower face or cheeks. The treatment helps improve firmness and reduce fine lines by boosting collagen and elastin production.
Prefer a non-surgical solution for skin tightening with minimal downtime. While the procedure is generally comfortable, some people may feel a gentle tingling or vibration during the session.
Are recovering from a facelift and want to enhance or maintain results with early-stage rejuvenation.
-
Dual-Frequency Technology = Enhanced Collagen Activation
Unlike traditional RF devices that operate on a single frequency (typically 6.78 MHz), XERF combines both 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz. This dual-frequency approach allows energy to reach multiple layers of the skin, promoting deeper and more effective collagen remodelling.Advanced Cooling System = High Energy with Minimal Risk
Effective collagen remodelling requires skin temperatures between 55–65°C, but excessive heat can lead to burns or discomfort. XERF’s advanced cooling mechanism delivers up to 12 cooling bursts per shot, enabling higher energy levels while keeping the skin protected and the treatment comfortable.Larger Treatment Tip = Faster, More Efficient Sessions
Standard RF tip size: 4 cm²
XERF tip size: 6 cm²
With a larger surface area, XERF treats more skin with each shot—reducing the number of pulses needed and shortening overall treatment time.
