Results and how long they last
Immediate tightening sensation after the first session, with progressive lifting and collagen remodeling over 2–3 months. Full results after completing 2 sessions.
What it is
XERF is the world's first FDA-cleared multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency system, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies to reach the superficial, mid, and deep structural layers of the skin — including the SMAS layer typically addressed only in surgical facelifts.
By delivering controlled heat through dual frequencies, XERF triggers collagen and elastin remodeling at every depth simultaneously. The result is comprehensive lifting and tightening that goes far beyond what traditional single-frequency RF devices can achieve.
Built-in ICD cooling and Wave Fit Pulse technology keep the skin comfortable and protected throughout treatment, making anesthesia unnecessary. Developed in South Korea by Lutronic and distributed by Cynosure, XERF represents the cutting edge of K-beauty device technology now available in Cherry Creek.
What to expect
Your session begins with a clean, prepped treatment area — no numbing cream needed. The XERF handpiece is moved across the skin while dual-frequency RF energy heats the deeper tissue layers. Built-in cooling keeps the surface comfortable throughout.
Most clients describe a warm, tolerable sensation. Face and neck treatments take roughly 60 minutes. Body zones like the abdomen, arms, or thighs can be treated in the same session or scheduled separately.
There is no downtime. You may notice mild warmth or slight pinkness immediately after, but most clients return to normal activities — including makeup — right away. An immediate tightening sensation is common, with progressive lifting and smoothing developing over the following weeks as new collagen forms.
A series of 2 sessions is recommended for optimal results.

Service FAQs
If you don't see your question, just reach out
Can I combine XERF with other treatments?
Absolutely. XERF pairs well with neurotoxins like Botox or Dysport, dermal fillers, facials, and other skin treatments. Many clients use XERF as the foundation of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan — the structural tightening it provides enhances and extends the results of complementary treatments. Your provider at Luxe Forté can recommend the ideal combination based on your goals.
Is XERF safe?
Yes. XERF is approved by the Korean MFDS (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety) and manufactured by Lutronic, one of the most respected names in medical aesthetic technology worldwide, distributed by Cynosure. The device features multiple built-in safety systems including real-time temperature monitoring, ICD surface cooling, and Wave Fit Pulse energy stabilization to ensure consistent, controlled treatment.
Who is a good candidate for XERF?
XERF is ideal for adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, early jowling, softening along the jawline, fine lines, or crepey texture on the face, neck, or body. It is an excellent option for anyone who wants noticeable tightening and lifting without surgery, needles, or downtime. XERF is also a great choice for clients who want to maintain results from previous treatments or extend the effects of injectables and other aesthetic procedures.
When will I see results from XERF?
Many clients notice an immediate tightening sensation right after their first session. Visible lifting and smoothing develop progressively over the following 2 to 3 months as new collagen and elastin are formed at multiple skin depths. Results continue to improve after the second session as the cumulative collagen remodeling takes full effect.
How many XERF sessions do I need?
A series of 2 sessions is recommended for optimal results. Each session takes approximately 60 minutes for face and neck. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, skin condition, and the areas being treated.
What areas can XERF treat?
XERF can treat the full face, jawline, under-chin area, neck, and body zones including the arms, abdomen, thighs, and knees. The device has three depth settings and ten intensity levels, allowing your provider to customize the treatment precisely for each area and your specific skin concerns.
Is there any downtime after XERF?
There is no downtime. You may notice mild warmth or very slight pinkness immediately after treatment, but most clients apply makeup and return to their normal routine right away. There are no needles, no incisions, and no recovery period — making XERF a true lunch-hour treatment.
Does XERF hurt?
Most clients describe XERF as very comfortable — a warm sensation during treatment with no sharp pain. The device has built-in ICD cooling that protects the skin surface, and Wave Fit Pulse technology that monitors and stabilizes energy delivery in real time. No numbing cream or anesthesia is needed, which is a significant advantage over many other skin tightening devices.
How is XERF different from Thermage or Ultherapy?
Thermage uses monopolar RF to tighten the skin's surface layers, while Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to reach the deeper SMAS layer. XERF combines both approaches in a single device — its dual-frequency technology targets superficial, mid, and deep layers in every pass. This means you get the skin tightening benefits of Thermage and the deep structural lifting of Ultherapy in one treatment, often with greater comfort and no need for numbing.
What is XERF and how does it work?
XERF is a next-generation multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency system that tightens and lifts skin by delivering controlled heat to multiple structural layers simultaneously. Unlike traditional RF devices that target a single depth, XERF combines two frequencies — 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz — to reach the superficial dermis, deep dermis, and the SMAS layer, which is the same fascial layer addressed in surgical facelifts. The result is comprehensive collagen remodeling and structural tightening from the inside out.
