A session usually takes about 45 to 60 minutes, although the time can vary depending on the treatment area. The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your individual skin condition and goals.

XERF was designed with comfort in mind, using Integrated Cryogen Delivery and Wave Fit™ Pulse to keep the treatment warm and comfortable. There are no needles and no numbing required.

Most patients feel an immediate tightening sensation in their skin. In the weeks following treatment, your collagen continues to rebuild, gradually enhancing your skin’s firmness and appearance.

• Immediate (0–2 weeks): A mild initial contraction of collagen fibers often creates a temporary tightening or refreshed glow right after treatment.

• Progressive (2–3 months): The primary results develop over 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen and elastin fibers form.

• Longevity: Results typically last 12 months, depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. Periodic maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 to 12 months to sustain results.

For most clients, 1 to 2 sessions per year is ideal to maintain structural firmness and keep your collagen bank active.

• Preventative & Maintenance Care (Ages 20s–30s): 1 session annually is usually sufficient to preserve skin density, stimulate continuous neocollagenesis, and slow down natural collagen depletion.

• Correction & Moderate Laxity (Ages 40s+): An initial series of 2 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve baseline tightening, followed by 1 maintenance session every 6 to 12 months.

• Lower face, jawline, and jowls (contouring and tightening)

• Neck and submental area (under-chin skin tightening)

• Periorbital (around the eyes) and perioral (around the mouth) lines

• Mid-face and cheeks (density and subtle volume lift)

• Body areas such as the abdomen, upper arms, and above the knees

• XERF vs. RF Microneedling: RF microneedling uses physical needles to create micro-injuries while delivering heat.XERF delivers non-invasive monopolar thermal energy through the skin surface without punctures, blood, or recovery downtime.

• XERF vs. Single-Frequency RF (Thermage): Traditional treatments deliver a single frequency targeting one primary depth. XERF uses simultaneous dual frequencies (6.78 MHz + 2 MHz) to address shallow texture, mid-dermal collagen, and deeper structural support in the same pass.

Yes. Unlike light-based lasers that target melanin, radiofrequency energy works by generating heat within tissue impedance. XERF is safe for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick Types I–VI) year-round without increasing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
