What is a XERF?
XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that heats the deeper layers of skin to tighten existing collagen and stimulate new collagen production. It is used to firm mild laxity and improve texture on the face, neck, jawline, and body without needles or downtime.
A session takes 30 to 60 minutes and feels like a warm massage. There is no downtime, and results build over 2 to 3 months. A series of sessions is often recommended for the best effect.
XERF sits in the same category as Thermage — surface non-invasive RF — and is a good option for patients who want tightening without the micro-needling component of devices like Morpheus8.
How much does a XERF cost?
XERF nationally typically costs $1,500 to $2,500 per session, with a short series often recommended for the best tightening.
