XERF Treatment

LA Skincare Center Our Services XERF Treatment

LA Skincare Center

Cosmetic Dermatology & Mommy Makeover located in El Segundo, CA

As we age, natural collagen and elastin production slows down, leading to subtle sagging, fine lines, and a loss of jawline definition. If you are looking for a completely non-invasive way to restore skin firmness and contour your face, XERF® offers the next generation of radiofrequency (RF) technology.

At LA Skincare Center, NP Raisa Howard and our expert aesthetic team are proud to bring cutting-edge, personalized skin rejuvenation solutions to our clients in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and the greater South Bay area.

XERF Treatment Q&A

What is XERF®?

XERF (by Cynosure Lutronic) is an advanced, non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency treatment designed to tighten lax skin and boost deep collagen production.

Unlike traditional RF devices that target only a single layer of skin, XERF utilizes dual-frequency energy (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz) to deliver precise heat deep into the dermal and sub-dermal tissues simultaneously. This dual-layer approach stimulates immediate tissue contraction while triggering long-term neocollagenesis (new collagen growth).

The XERF Advantage: Continuous contact-cooling technology keeps the surface of your skin comfortable throughout the procedure — meaning no numbing cream, no needles, and zero downtime required.

Key Benefits of XERF®

  • Targeted Lifting & Tightening: Redefines the jawline, lifts heavy cheeks, and smooths the neck area.
  • Dual-Layer Energy Delivery: Penetrates both superficial and deeper tissue layers in a single pass for more comprehensive results.
  • Pain-Free & Comfortable: Advanced cryogen cooling protects the outer layer of skin, delivering a gentle, warming sensation.
  • No Needles, No Downtime: Walk in for a quick treatment and return immediately to your normal daily activities.
  • Customized Precision: Real-time skin impedance monitoring ensures precise, safe energy delivery tailored to your unique skin thickness and area.

What Areas Can XERF® Treat?

XERF is versatile and can be customized to treat areas showing early-to-moderate signs of skin laxity, including:

  • Jawline and jowls
  • Submental region (under the chin and upper neck)
  • Mid-face and cheeks
  • Around the eyes and brow area
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

What to Expect During Your Treatment

Phase What Happens
1. Consultation NP Raisa Howard or our aesthetic specialists evaluate your skin laxity and goals to ensure XERF is the right fit.
2. Preparation Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a specialized treatment gel is applied to ensure smooth gliding of the handpiece.
3. Treatment The handpiece is glided across the targeted areas. You will feel a soothing balance of deep warming paired with cooling bursts. Treatments typically take 30 to 45 minutes.
4. Post-Care There is no recovery period. You may experience mild, temporary pinkness that fades within an hour, and you can apply sunscreen and makeup immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions will I need?

While many clients notice an immediate "glow" and subtle tightening right away, optimal results are typically achieved in a series of 1 to 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on your individual goals and skin condition.

How long do the results last?

Collagen building is a gradual process. Peak results generally appear 2 to 3 months post-treatment as new collagen matures. Results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months, with periodic maintenance treatments recommended once a year.

Is XERF safe for all skin types?

Yes! Because XERF uses radiofrequency energy rather than light energy (lasers), it is safe and effective for all skin tones and Fitzpatrick types year-round.
