XERF Skin Tightening

Turn back the clock on loose, sagging skin with XERF, an advanced radiofrequency treatment that tightens and lifts the face, neck and body by renewing collagen from within.

Enjoy firmer, smoother, natural-looking results with no surgery, no needles and no downtime. Now available at Bellavita Center in Torrance.

What Is XERF?

XERF is an advanced, non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens and lifts loose skin by gently heating the deeper layers where collagen lives. It is the first monopolar radiofrequency device to combine two frequencies, allowing it to treat the skin at three different depths in a single session.

Most patients feel a warm, massage-like sensation during treatment. Built-in cooling protects the surface of the skin, so no numbing cream or needles are needed. There is no downtime, and you can return to your normal routine right away.

Natural-looking results that build over time.

Many patients notice a tightening effect right after treatment. Results continue to improve over the following 8 to 12 weeks as your body produces new collagen. Dr. Hsu will customize the depth and intensity of each treatment to your skin and your goals.

Is XERF Right for You?

XERF is ideal for adults with mild to moderate skin laxity who want firmer, smoother skin without surgery. For more advanced laxity, Dr. Hsu may recommend a surgical option or a combination plan. Schedule a consultation to find the best approach for you.

Frequently asked questions

  • XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that tightens and lifts loose skin. It uses two radiofrequency frequencies to gently heat the skin at three depths, which stimulates your body to build new collagen.

  • XERF delivers controlled heat beneath the surface of the skin. This causes existing collagen to contract for an immediate tightening effect, then triggers new collagen production for firmer skin over the following weeks.

  • Most radiofrequency devices use a single frequency and reach one depth. XERF combines two frequencies to treat the shallow, middle and deep layers of the skin in one session, without needles or numbing.

  • Most patients describe XERF as a warm, massage-like sensation. Built-in cooling protects the surface of the skin, so numbing cream is usually not needed. Settings can be adjusted during treatment for your comfort.
