XERF™

At BevMed LA, XERF is one of our favorite treatments for patients beginning to notice early facial aging, jowls, skin laxity, or loss of jawline definition who want noticeable improvement without surgery.

Unlike many energy-based treatments, XERF is comfortable, requires no numbing cream, and allows patients to return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Treatments are fully customized based on your anatomy, degree of skin laxity, and aesthetic goals.

​

What Can XERF Treat?

​

XERF is commonly used to improve:

​

• Mild to moderate skin laxity

• Early jowls

• Jawline definition

• Loose neck skin

• Sagging cheeks

• Loss of facial firmness

• Fine lines

• Wrinkles

• Overall skin texture

• Collagen loss associated with aging

 

It may also be used on select body areas experiencing mild skin laxity.

​

How Does XERF Work?

​

XERF uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency energy to gently heat multiple layers of the skin. This controlled heating stimulates the body's natural collagen remodeling process while tightening existing collagen fibers.

​

Over the weeks and months following treatment, new collagen and elastin continue to develop, leading to progressively firmer, tighter, and smoother-looking skin. The technology is designed to deliver energy at multiple tissue depths while maintaining patient comfort through integrated cooling.

​

Who Is a Good Candidate?

​

XERF is ideal for patients who:

​

• Notice early facial sagging

• Have mild to moderate skin laxity

• Want a sharper jawline

• Prefer natural-looking results

• Want to avoid surgery

• Are looking for little to no downtime

• ​

Patients with advanced skin laxity may benefit from combining XERF with other treatments or may be better candidates for surgical procedures.

​

What Areas Can Be Treated?

​

Common treatment areas include:

​

• Face

• Neck

• Jawline

• Jowls

• Under the chin

• Cheeks

• Brow area

• ​

Treatment plans are personalized based on your concerns.

​

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

​

Most patients benefit from a series of two treatments spaced approximately six weeks apart. Some patients notice an improvement shortly after their first treatment due to immediate collagen contraction, while collagen remodeling continues over the following 2–3 months. Many patients experience additional improvement after the second treatment. Maintenance treatments may be recommended depending on your goals and the natural aging process.

​

When Will I See Results?

​

Some patients notice subtle tightening immediately after treatment. Results continue to improve over the next several weeks as collagen remodeling occurs, with many patients appreciating their best results approximately 2–3 months after completing their treatment series. Individual results vary.

​

Does XERF Hurt?

​

Most patients describe XERF as feeling like a warm facial massage. The treatment is generally well tolerated and does not require topical numbing cream. The built-in cooling technology helps maximize comfort throughout the procedure.

​

Is There Downtime?

​

One of the biggest advantages of XERF is that there is little to no downtime.

Some patients experience temporary redness or mild swelling immediately after treatment, which typically resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to work, social activities, and exercise the same day.

​

XERF Aftercare

​

Following treatment:

​

• Wear daily sunscreen

• Keep your skin well hydrated

• Follow your recommended skincare routine

• Avoid excessive heat exposure for 24 hours if your skin feels sensitive

 

No special downtime is typically required.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

What is XERF?

​

XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens skin and stimulates collagen production without surgery, needles, or downtime.

Unlike RF microneedling, XERF does not use needles. It delivers radiofrequency energy through the skin surface to stimulate collagen while maintaining a comfortable treatment experience.

​

Does XERF stimulate collagen?

​

Yes. XERF is designed to stimulate new collagen and elastin production while remodeling existing collagen, leading to gradual skin tightening and improved firmness.
