XERF Structural Skin Tightening in Denver, CO
Nonsurgical treatment for firmer-looking skin on the face and neck.
Treatment time 45 to 60 minutes
Downtime Little to no downtime
XERF Structural Skin Tightening is a nonsurgical treatment for skin that has started to lose firmness, including early jowling and loose skin on the neck. It uses radiofrequency energy to heat tissue beneath the surface and encourage collagen remodeling, with results developing over the following months.
At Luxe Forté Medical Spa in Cherry Creek, we’ll help you understand what XERF could do for your skin. We’ll guide you through what you can expect during treatment and after, including how treatment feels and when you may start noticing improvements in skin firmness.

Planning Your XERF Treatment
Details will be confirmed during your consultation.
Treatment Settings
XERF offers 3 depth settings and 10 intensity levels, allowing us to tailor treatment to your skin and treatment area. We monitor your response to treatment as we work.
Treatment Timing
We’ll confirm the timing between your two treatment sessions during your consultation. If you’re planning your treatment before a wedding or another important event, allow time for the treatment series and gradual results.
Are You a Good Candidate?
XERF may be worth considering if you’re noticing early sagging but are not ready for surgery. You may be a candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Want improvement without surgery or needles
- Prefer a treatment with little downtime
- Are comfortable with gradual, potentially subtle results
Because radiofrequency does not specifically target pigment, XERF may suit a range of skin tones. We’ll assess your skin and medical history to determine whether XERF is appropriate for you. Certain conditions may mean treatment should be postponed or avoided.
If discoloration or rough skin texture are your main concerns, we may recommend resurfacing instead. Our staff can help you select the treatment that is best for your needs.

Your Recovery and Results
There is typically no downtime after XERF. Here is what most clients can expect:
-
Immediately Afterward
Your skin may look mildly pink or feel warm. Temporary swelling or tenderness can occur, although most clients can return to work and usual activities the same day.
-
First Few Days
Redness generally settles quickly. Keep skin care gentle and follow your aftercare instructions, including any guidance on exercise or heat exposure. Contact us promptly for worsening pain, blistering, or other unexpected changes.
-
Two to Six Months
Changes in firmness develop gradually as collagen remodels, and we’ll assess your response over the months after treatment. Improvement may be easier to recognize by comparing photographs than by looking for daily changes.
-
Maintaining Results
Your skin continues to age after XERF. We’ll discuss maintenance appointments based on your response and the changes you notice over time. Daily sun protection and consistent skin care remain part of caring for your skin between visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you don't see your question, just reach out
How much does XERF cost?
XERF is usually $1,750 per session. You’ll receive a quote for your recommended treatment plan during your consultation.
Does XERF hurt?
XERF has a built-in cooling system that helps manage discomfort, but it does not eliminate every heat sensation. You’ll feel warmth, and some passes may feel more intense. Tell your provider if a pass feels too hot so we can respond. Numbing cream is generally not needed.
How long do results last?
Based on clinical experience, results for XERF typically last 6 to 9 months, after which many patients choose to get maintenance treatments. Results vary per patient, and we’ll discuss maintenance based on your skin’s response.
Is XERF an alternative to a facelift?
XERF can help address early sagging if you want improvement without surgery. It cannot remove excess skin or provide the same degree of lifting as a facelift. The key question is how much loose skin you have and how much improvement you want. We’ll assess whether XERF is likely to offer enough correction or whether a surgical consultation would be more useful.
What are the risks of XERF?
Temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness can occur. Burns and related skin changes are also possible because XERF uses heat. We’ll review your medical history, including any implanted devices, and select appropriate treatment settings. Built-in cooling helps manage surface temperature while we monitor your skin’s response. Tell us if any pulse feels too hot so we can adjust treatment mid-session.
How should I prepare?
Tell us about any medications, implanted devices, and recent injectables or other skin treatments. Let us know if the treatment area becomes irritated before your appointment. We’ll provide more specific preparation instructions once your treatment plan is set.
Can I combine XERF with other treatments?
XERF can be part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan. For example, resurfacing treatments can address pigment or texture concerns that XERF does not correct. Any additional skin treatments need careful spacing to allow healing between sessions. We’ll recommend a sequence and schedule based on the treatments you want to receive.
