XERF

Am I suitable for the XERF Facial Treatment?

XERF Facial may be suitable for adults experiencing early to moderate skin laxity, loss of facial definition or reduced firmness who would prefer a non-surgical treatment.

It can be particularly useful for concerns around the lower face, jawline, neck and under the chin. Your practitioner will assess your skin quality, medical history and treatment goals during consultation to determine whether XERF is appropriate for you.

Is the XERF Facial safe?

Yes. XERF Facial is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to deliver controlled energy into targeted tissue while cooling helps protect the surface of the skin.

Treatment should always be carried out by an appropriately trained practitioner. Your medical history and suitability will be assessed beforehand, and the settings can be adapted according to your skin and the area being treated.

Is treatment painful?

XERF is generally well tolerated. Most patients describe feeling warmth as the radiofrequency energy is delivered into the skin.

The system incorporates cooling to help maintain comfort at the skin surface, and numbing cream or anaesthetic is not normally required. Sensation can vary depending on the area being treated and the energy settings used.

Are there any side effects or risks?

Temporary redness, warmth, mild swelling or sensitivity can occur after treatment. These effects are generally short-lived and should gradually settle.

As with any energy-based treatment, there are potential risks, which your practitioner will discuss during your consultation. Following the recommended aftercare can help support the skin as it settles following treatment.

How much downtime should I expect?

There is generally little to no downtime following XERF treatment. Most patients can return to work and their usual daily activities shortly after their appointment.

The skin may appear slightly red or feel warm for a short period, but this usually settles without requiring a prolonged recovery period.

How many XERF treatments will I need?

The number of XERF treatments recommended will depend on your skin condition, the areas being treated and the level of improvement you would like to achieve. Some patients may benefit from a single treatment, while others may be advised to have a short course.

When will I see results from XERF?

Some patients may notice an early improvement in firmness following treatment, but results usually develop gradually as collagen production and remodelling continue. Further improvements may become visible over the following weeks and months.

How long do XERF results last?

Results will vary between patients and will be influenced by factors such as age, skin condition and lifestyle. As the natural ageing process continues, maintenance treatments may be recommended to help preserve improvements in firmness and definition.

What areas can be treated with XERF?

XERF can be used on areas of the face and body where skin laxity or reduced firmness is a concern. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, jawline, under the chin, neck and décolletage. Your practitioner can advise which areas are suitable during consultation.

How is XERF different from other radiofrequency treatments?

XERF uses two radiofrequency frequencies to deliver energy at different depths within the tissue. This allows treatment to be adapted according to the area being treated and the degree of skin laxity, while integrated cooling helps maintain comfort at the skin surface.
