Schedule appointmentFirmer skin, defined contours, and a natural lifting effect—all without surgery. XERF™ is one of the latest advancements in radiofrequency technology and combines a dual wavelength with particularly deep tissue activation. This allows for targeted treatment of sagging skin on the face and body—with high tolerability and virtually no downtime.
Dr. Rosalia LuketinaOver time, tissue loses its elasticity and firmness. In addition to the natural aging process, genetic predisposition or significant weight loss can also cause contours to become less defined or certain areas to sag. XERF™ addresses this issue using advanced radiofrequency technology. Developed in South Korea, the system uses a dual wavelength to reach different depths of tissue. Controlled heating stimulates the body’s own processes for the regeneration of collagen and elastin. This helps create more defined facial contours and firm specific areas of the body. An integrated cooling system protects the skin’s surface throughout the procedure.
For the face, the primary focus is on visibly firming the tissue. This can make the jawline, cheek area, and the area under the chin appear more defined and harmonious. On the body, the method is suitable for specific areas where the tissue has lost its elasticity—for example, following weight changes or as part of the natural aging process. The existing tissue is not altered by adding volume. Rather, the result develops gradually over several weeks through stimulated regenerative processes and blends naturally into the patient’s appearance.

Before the session, we’ll assess the condition of your skin and discuss which areas you’d like to have treated and what results you’re hoping to achieve. Based on this, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and explain the procedure and your options. No special preparation is usually required. You should avoid intense sun exposure and highly irritating skincare products in the days leading up to your appointment.
During the treatment, the XERF™ handpiece is moved evenly over the designated skin areas. The dual radiofrequency reaches both superficial and deeper tissue layers, extending down to the SMAS layer, while an integrated cooling system continuously protects the skin’s surface. This allows for intensive stimulation of collagen production without damaging the skin. Most patients describe the treatment as a pleasant warmth, and it lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
You can resume your normal daily routine immediately. Occasionally, you may experience mild redness or a temporary sensation of warmth, which usually subsides within a few hours. Since the skin’s surface remains intact, no recovery time is usually required.
No special precautions are necessary. During the first few days, we recommend using mild skincare products, keeping your skin well-moisturized, and applying SPF 50+ sunscreen consistently to areas exposed to the sun. You should avoid intense sun exposure and tanning beds for the time being. We’d be happy to provide additional advice on appropriate skincare for the days following the procedure.

We look forward to hearing from you! Feel free to ask us anything before you decide!
Die Anwendung richtet sich an Frauen und Männer, die Veränderungen durch nachlassende Gewebefestigkeit behandeln möchten. Dazu gehören beispielsweise weichere Gesichtskonturen oder erschlaffte Partien am Körper. Auch nach einer stärkeren Gewichtsabnahme kann eine Behandlung infrage kommen. Ob XERF™ für Ihre Ausgangssituation und die gewünschte Region geeignet ist, beurteilen wir im persönlichen Beratungsgespräch.
The technology uses radiofrequency energy that is delivered in a controlled manner to different depths within the tissue. The resulting heat stimulates regenerative processes and promotes the production of new collagen and elastin. At the same time, a built-in cooling system protects the skin’s surface. The effect thus arises from the body’s own tissue response and develops gradually.
On the face, treatments can be performed on the cheeks, jawline, and the area below the chin, among others. In addition, XERF™ can be used on suitable areas of the body where firmness and elasticity have diminished. We will determine which areas are suitable for treatment after a personal evaluation.
The first changes may be noticeable after just a short time. However, the main effect develops over the following weeks, as the stimulated remodeling processes take time. How quickly and how clearly the results become apparent depends, among other things, on the initial findings, the treated area, and the individual response of the tissue.
Most patients feel a steady warmth during the session. Thanks to the built-in cooling system, the treatment is generally well tolerated, so anesthesia is usually not required. Individual experiences may vary depending on the area being treated and personal sensitivity.
A unique feature is the combination of two radio frequencies, which allows the treatment to reach different depths within the tissue. This enables the energy to be targeted precisely, while continuous cooling provides additional comfort. The skin’s surface remains intact, making the method easy to incorporate into daily life.
The duration varies from person to person and is influenced by factors such as age, tissue composition, the treated area, and lifestyle. Since the body’s own regenerative processes are stimulated, the effect continues to develop over several weeks. Depending on the initial condition, follow-up treatments may be beneficial at a later date.
You can usually resume your normal activities immediately afterward. You may experience slight redness, a sensation of warmth, or temporary sensitivity in the treated area. These reactions typically subside quickly. We will provide you with detailed information about individual risks and possible contraindications during your consultation.
