What is XERF™ RF Skin Tightening?
XERF™ (Structural Skin Tightening) is an advanced, non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment that delivers targeted energy deep into your skin—without numbing, needles, or downtime. Unlike traditional RF treatments, XERF™ uses dual-frequency monopolar RF to reach the shallow, middle, and deep layers of the skin to effectively stimulate collagen remodeling.

Who is a good candidate for XERF™?
XERF™ RF skin tightening is ideal for anyone seeking smoother, tighter skin without needles or numbing agents. It’s perfect for people who want:
- Skin firmness and elasticity
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- A comfortable, customizable experience tailored to their individual skin profile
This treatment is needle-free and doesn’t require numbing, so many patients find it quicker and easier to incorporate into their busy schedules.
How does XERF™ treatment work?
The treatment uses a dual-frequency monopolar RF system combining both 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies to deliver energy deep into the skin—where meaningful change begins. It incorporates:
- Wave Fit™ pulses and Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery to control energy delivery and keep the surface cool, ensuring a gentle, “Never-Numb™” experience.
- Accurate Impedance Feedback, which continuously analyzes your skin in real time.
- Three depth settings and ten intensity levels, allowing for a precise, fully customizable treatment.
This allows your MD TLC™ provider, Nurse Michelle, to personalize each session optimally for your skin’s unique needs.
What can I expect during treatment?
You won’t need numbing or needles. Nurse Michelle will glide the XERF™ handpiece across your skin, delivering comfortable warmth at controlled depths. Treatment time is typically shorter than procedures requiring numbing, making it more efficient for busy days. You may experience a warm sensation, but overall, sessions are designed to be smooth and easy.
How soon will I see results?
There will be an initial lifting and sculpting look directly after treatment. After a week weeks, patients may notice noticeably smoother, firmer skin —thanks to gradual collagen remodeling. Because XERF™ works by stimulating deep-level structural changes, continued improvement often occurs over time as skin regenerates and strengthens. Please note a series of treatments is recommended to get lasting results.
Is XERF™ RF skin tightening safe?
Yes! Clinical and histological studies (including a porcine model) confirm that XERF™ raises internal skin temperatures to effective levels—prompting collagen remodeling deep within multiple skin layers. It has been shown to deliver energy to the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System)—a foundational muscle and connective tissue layer that supports lifting and tightening.
