Treatment
XERF Skin Tightening
What It Is
XERF (X-Wave Electromagnetic Radiofrequency) is an advanced non-invasive skin tightening technology that delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the dermal layers. This stimulates fibroblast activity and promotes new collagen and elastin production, resulting in firmer, more lifted skin over time.
What It Treats
Skin laxity of the face, jawline, neck, and body. XERF addresses sagging skin, loss of facial volume and definition, jowling, crepey neck texture, and overall loss of skin firmness associated with aging and collagen depletion.
Who It’s For
Patients experiencing early-to-moderate skin laxity who are not yet candidates for surgical intervention, or those seeking to maintain results from previous tightening procedures. Ideal for individuals who want gradual, natural-looking improvement without downtime.
Before Your Visit
No specific preparation required. Arrive with clean, product-free skin. Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment, as hydrated tissue responds more effectively to radiofrequency energy.
After Your Visit
No downtime is expected. Mild warmth or slight pinkness may occur for one to two hours. Continue your regular skincare routine and maintain excellent hydration both internally and topically. Results develop progressively over four to six weeks as new collagen matures.
Recommended Product
Plated Intense — begin application two weeks prior to treatment and continue daily after. Advanced exosome technology accelerates skin recovery and enhances results.
Provider Tip
Optimal results are achieved with a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Hydration is your best friend with XERF — drink plenty of water before and after each session.
Supplement Support
Pure Encapsulations Electrolyte/Energy Formula for optimal hydration support, plus broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is XERF skin tightening?
XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that heats the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose or sagging skin without needles or downtime.
How many XERF treatments are needed?
Most patients see improvement after a series of 4-6 treatments. Results continue to improve over 2-3 months as new collagen forms.
Is there any downtime with XERF?
No downtime at all. XERF is a comfortable, walk-in, walk-out treatment. You can immediately return to your normal activities and apply makeup right away.
What areas can XERF treat?
XERF can treat the face, neck, jawline, and other areas where skin laxity is a concern. It is particularly effective for mild to moderate skin laxity.
How does XERF compare to Ultherapy?
XERF uses radiofrequency energy while Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound. XERF is gentler with no discomfort, while both stimulate collagen. Your provider can recommend the best option for your goals.
