What is XERF?

XERF uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of skin. That heat stimulates fresh collagen and elastin — the scaffolding that keeps skin firm and smooth.

Over a short series, skin looks tighter and more even, with a natural lift and a lit-from-within glow — all without surgery or downtime.

Pairs well with

XERF for structure, microneedling with PRP for surface quality — the two solve different problems.

Benefits

What to expect

Start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.

  1. 1
    Assessment

    We measure laxity along the jaw, neck and cheeks and decide whether XERF, Virtue RF or a combination fits.

  2. 2
    Numbing · 30 min

    Full topical numbing before anything starts. The treatment is warm and tolerable, not brutal.

  3. 3
    Treatment · 90 min

    Radiofrequency energy is driven to a controlled depth, contracting existing collagen immediately and triggering new collagen underneath.

  4. 4
    Weeks 4–12

    The real change. Skin keeps tightening as new collagen forms — most people see their best result at the three-month mark.

Before you book

What would change this plan

Standard contraindications and precautions for this treatment — the questions you should expect from anyone offering it.

  • Are you pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding? Not while you're pregnant or nursing.
  • Have you ever had a severe allergic reaction — to a medication, an anaesthetic, or a previous injectable? Alla needs the details before anything is planned.
  • Do you take blood thinners, or daily aspirin? Not a barrier — a planning point.
  • Right now, do you have a cold sore, a skin infection, or an active breakout where you'd want treatment? Wait until the skin is clear.
  • Do you have an autoimmune condition, or take medication that suppresses your immune system? Usually workable, always discussed.
  • Do you scar badly — raised, thickened or keloid scars? Changes which resurfacing is sensible.
  • Have you taken isotretinoin (Accutane, Roaccutane) in the last six months? Wait it out.

Aftercare

The short list that protects your result. You'll get this in writing too.

  • Expect redness and warmth for 24–48 hours
  • SPF 30+ daily, no exceptions, for two weeks
  • No retinoids or acids for five days
  • Hydrate hard — collagen needs water to build
05

Myths, straightened out

What clients arrive believing — and what's actually true.

It's the same as a facial.
It isn't. A facial works on the surface. XERF works in the dermis, where collagen actually lives.
You need it every month.
No. Most clients do one session, then reassess after three months. Many hold results for a year or more.
Only older skin benefits.
Early laxity in the 30s responds fastest, because there's more healthy collagen to stimulate.

How this is handled here

What people actually arrive saying, and the approach taken — not individual patient histories.

Early laxity, and a surgical quote

The concern

A lower face that has softened over a few years, in someone whose skin quality is still good. Surgical consultations at this stage are common and often premature.

The approach
  • Assessment of whether the laxity is early enough for radiofrequency to be worth trying
  • Full topical numbing before anything begins
  • No filler on the same day, so the collagen result can be judged on its own
  • Reassessed at twelve weeks, before deciding whether anything further is needed
Why

Contraction is visible early; the meaningful change builds through months two and three. Where it is not enough, that is known at twelve weeks — and a surgical referral is the honest answer.

General approach only. Individual results vary and every plan is decided at consultation.

07

Frequently asked

Is XERF painful?

No — most describe it as a warm, comfortable massage. There's no downtime afterward.

When will I see results?

Some tightening is immediate; the real collagen results build over 4–12 weeks.

How many sessions do I need?

A short series gives the best, longest-lasting results — we'll tailor a plan.

Can it be combined with injectables?

Yes — RF pairs beautifully with Botox and fillers for a complete refresh.
