What Is XERF?
The Next Step in the Evolution of Skincare
XERF is a FDA-cleared, non-invasive skin tightening system by Cynosure/Lutronic that uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency energy to firm, lift, and rejuvenate the skin. It is the world's first device to combine two RF frequencies - 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz - in a single treatment, enabling energy delivery across multiple tissue depths for more comprehensive collagen remodeling.
The treatment delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the skin, causing existing collagen fibers to contract while stimulating the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Over the weeks following treatment, the skin's internal support structure rebuilds - producing a visible lift, improved firmness, and a smoother, more refined texture.
Is XERF Right for You?
Refreshed Skin Is Around The Corner
XERF is well-suited for men and women experiencing early to moderate signs of facial aging who are looking for meaningful improvement without surgery or extended downtime. XERF is safe for all skin types and tones and can be performed year-round.
You may be a good candidate if you notice:
- Loss of firmness or definition along the jawline
- Mild to moderate skin laxity in the face or neck
- Fine lines, crepiness, or textural changes
- Early jowling or a softening of facial contours
- A desire to maintain or extend results of prior surgical work
What to Expect
Your XERF Experience
Consultation
Dr. Harris will assess your skin's elasticity, underlying structure, and areas of concern, then design a treatment plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
During Treatment
Sessions take 30 to 45 minutes. You'll feel a deep, soothing warmth - most patients compare it to a warm facial massage. No topical anesthetic is needed.
After Treatment
No downtime. Mild warmth or slight pinkness resolves within hours. Return to your daily routine and apply makeup immediately.
Results
Subtle lift immediately. Optimal results within two to three months as collagen rebuilds. Dr. Harris typically recommends two to three sessions.

Advanced Technology. Expert Application.
Dual-Frequency Technology
XERF's patented combination of 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies targets the superficial dermis for texture improvement, the mid-dermis for collagen density, and the deep tissue - including the SMAS layer - for structural lift. This multi-depth approach produces more complete, natural-looking results.
No Needles. No Numbing. No Downtime.
Wave Fit™ pulse technology and Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery regulate energy delivery and maintain comfortable skin temperatures throughout treatment. No topical numbing, no needles, no recovery period. Return to your normal activities immediately.
Personalized to Your Skin
Three depth settings, ten intensity levels, and real-time skin impedance feedback allow Dr. Harris to adjust treatment dynamically based on your unique skin profile. Every session is customized to your anatomy, skin condition, and goals.
Performed by a Facial Plastic Surgeon

XERF Frequently Asked Questions
XERF is the first monopolar RF device to use two frequencies (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz) in a single session. This allows energy to reach multiple tissue depths - including the SMAS layer - for more comprehensive tightening than single-frequency devices. It also features integrated cryogen cooling that eliminates the need for topical numbing.
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, soothing feeling similar to a hot stone massage. XERF's built-in cooling system maintains comfort throughout the session. No numbing cream or anesthesia is required.
Most patients benefit from a series of two to three treatments for optimal results. Dr. Harris will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation based on your skin condition and goals.
Many patients notice a subtle lift immediately after their first session. Results continue to build over two to three months as collagen and elastin production increases. Periodic maintenance sessions can extend and enhance your outcomes.
No. XERF requires no downtime. You may experience mild warmth or temporary pinkness that resolves within a few hours. Normal activities, including applying makeup, can be resumed immediately.
es. XERF complements many of the surgical and non-surgical treatments offered at our practice. Dr. Harris can discuss how XERF might fit into a comprehensive treatment plan alongside procedures like injectables, skin resurfacing, or surgical rejuvenation.
Yes. Because XERF uses radiofrequency energy rather than light-based technology, it is safe and effective for all skin types and tones with minimal risk of pigmentation changes.
