Meet XERF: Structural Skin Tightening
XERF brings a new approach to non-surgical skin tightening through advanced multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency technology. Designed to deliver controlled energy at different tissue depths, XERF offers a customizable treatment approach for patients looking to improve the appearance of skin laxity, firmness, and definition.
How Does XERF Work?
XERF uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver controlled heating to targeted tissue. This heating produces a tissue response associated with collagen remodeling and can support improvements in skin firmness and the appearance of laxity.
Its technology is designed to address shallow, middle, and deeper tissue levels, while built-in cooling helps manage the treatment experience. Your provider customizes the approach based on your anatomy, skin characteristics, and treatment goals.
