Signature Treatments
XERF is a non-surgical radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that uses dual frequency, multi-layer RF energy delivery across multiple skin depths as part of a skin rejuvenation approach. Using a multi-layer delivery system, it generates controlled heat within the targeted tissue to support the skin’s natural collagen remodelling processes. XERF may be considered by individuals exploring non-surgical options for skin laxity concerns, with treatment experiences and outcomes varying between individuals.
This treatment may be suitable for individuals who are:
XERF is a radiofrequency skin tightening system that uses RF energy as part of skin rejuvenation and skin tightening treatments. It utilises a multi-layer RF delivery system, allowing a trained doctor to target different depths of tissue, each with its own frequency profile, depending on the patient’s individual anatomy and concerns.
RF energy works by generating controlled heat within the targeted tissue. This thermal effect is intended to stimulate a biological response associated with collagen remodelling over time. This process may contribute to gradual improvement in skin firmness and skin texture over time.
XERF is a non-surgical, non-ablative treatment, meaning it works beneath the skin’s surface without disrupting the outer skin barrier.
XERF delivers radiofrequency energy using a combination of frequencies calibrated to specific tissue depths. Unlike single-frequency RF systems, XERF’s multi-layer approach allows each depth of tissue to receive the appropriate energy profile for controlled thermal stimulation.
The device handpiece is applied to the skin’s surface, and RF energy is transmitted into the target tissue. The depth and frequency of delivery are adjusted by your doctor based on the area being treated and your individual skin characteristics. XERF also incorporates an Integrated Cryogen Delivery (ICD) cooling system, which works simultaneously during treatment to maintain surface comfort and help regulate skin surface temperature while RF energy is delivered to the deeper tissue layers.
XERF utilises a multi-layer RF delivery approach designed to deliver RF energy across different tissue depths during treatment:
By addressing multiple skin depths during treatment, RF energy may be delivered across both superficial and deeper tissue layers.
XERF’s multi-layer RF delivery is designed to support the following:
Stimulation of collagen and elastin production in the treated areas
Thermal tightening effect across multiple skin depths
Improvement in skin firmness and structural support over time
Reduction in the appearance of skin laxity
Non-surgical approach to facial and body contouring concerns
Minimal disruption to daily activities following treatment
Individual responses vary. Your doctor will discuss what outcomes may be realistic for your specific skin condition during a consultation.
XERF is suitable for use on both the face and neck. Commonly treated areas include:
Face & Neck
Your doctor will assess the suitability of each area during your consultation and tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
XERF may be appropriate for individuals who:
XERF may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical implants (such as pacemakers), active skin infections in the treatment area, or other specific medical conditions. A thorough doctor consultation is required before any treatment is performed at our clinic.
The number of treatments varies depending on the individual’s skin condition, treatment area and goals. Some patients may see changes following a single treatment, while others may be advised to undergo additional sessions based on their response. Your doctor will assess your skin and advise whether further treatment is appropriate.
As the skin continues to age naturally, some patients may consider further treatment in the future. The timing should be determined based on individual response and clinical assessment.
XERF can often be combined with complementary treatments as part of a holistic skin rejuvenation plan. Depending on your skin condition and goals, your doctor may discuss pairing XERF with:
Treatment combinations are always determined on an individual basis. Your doctor will advise on the most appropriate plan for your skin profile during consultation.
Most patients tolerate XE RF well. With topical numbing applied beforehand, the primary sensation during treatment is warmth in the treated area. The level of comfort may vary depending on individual sensitivity and the area being treated. Your doctor will monitor your comfort throughout the procedure.
XERF is generally considered a low-downtime procedure. Mild redness or a warm feeling in the treated area may occur after the session but typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients resume normal activities on the same day.
Collagen remodelling is a biological process that takes time. Some patients notice an initial firming effect shortly after treatment due to collagen contraction. More progressive improvement in skin firmness and quality typically develops over 4 to 8 weeks following each session and may continue to develop gradually over time.
Longevity varies from person to person and depends on factors such as age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the natural ageing process. Periodic maintenance treatments are generally recommended to sustain improvement over time.
RF energy is generally well-tolerated across different skin tones and types, as it does not target skin pigment. However, suitability is always determined on an individual basis. Your doctor will assess your skin during consultation.
Both RF and HIFU are non-surgical energy-based treatments for skin tightening, but they work differently. HIFU delivers focused ultrasound energy to precise focal points, primarily targeting the SMAS layer. XERF delivers radiofrequency energy across multiple skin depths using a surface applicator, allowing broad thermal stimulation throughout the dermis and subdermal tissue. Your doctor can advise which approach or combination of both is most suitable for your concerns.
