As skincare treatments advance, the demand for better results and more comfort grows. With this advancement, non-surgical skin and volume rejuvenation options are increasing as well. Using advanced radiofrequency energy, XERF offers a non-invasive, low-discomfort option for skin and neck tightening.

At Exclusively Faces Cosmetic Surgery & Spa, we pride ourselves on being the first in Georgia to offer XERF Skin Tightening. This blog explores what XERF is, whether the treatment includes surgery, and how long you can expect the results to last.

What is XERF?

XERF treatment is a radiofrequency skin-tightening system that combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies to send energy deeper into the skin and multiple tissue depths than other skin-tightening treatments. This energy-based treatment uses different depth settings and ten intensity levels to customize treatment to your skin type.

Using the Accurate Impedance Feedback, the XERF system adapts with real-time analyses of each patient’s unique skin profile for a truly personalized experience. It not only improves skin laxity but also stimulates collagen remodeling in the treatment area.

Its non-invasive nature means no downtime is needed and minimal to no discomfort. Patients can return to their regular activities immediately after treatment and can expect only mild warmth and redness that fades within the same day.

Does XERF Skin Tightening Treatment Include Surgery?

XERF is a non-surgical tightening option that uses controlled heat, meaning no needles and no numbing are needed for the treatment. This is a great alternative to surgical skin tightening and rejuvenating treatments. This is also a great option for patients who do not qualify for surgical facial cosmetic procedures but still want to target deeper tissues and improve skin firmness.

XERF Skin Tightening can be combined with other non-surgical skin treatments, like laser rejuvenation, laser hair removal, and RF microneedling, for more comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

How Long Do XERF Skin Tightening Results Last?

For the best results, it’s recommended to get two XERF sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.

You can expect to see noticeable skin firmness immediately after your treatment that softens within the first 72 hours. Mild redness and warmth will also improve within the first day. Results will continue to improve within the following weeks, with your final results showing over three to six months.

Most patients see results lasting 12 to 18 months, followed by additional sessions to maintain them. Newly stimulated collagen production helps keep results long after the initial treatment.
