XERF is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production at multiple depths of the skin simultaneously. It works by delivering two different radiofrequency wavelengths at the same time: one that targets the mid-level dermis to smooth texture and fine lines, and a deeper wavelength that reaches the supportive structural layer beneath the skin responsible for facial contour and lift.
Because it treats several layers of tissue in a single session, XERF is able to produce both an immediate tightening effect and progressive improvement over the following weeks as new collagen forms. It is FDA-cleared and considered a safe, non-invasive alternative to surgical skin tightening procedures.
How XERF Works
During treatment, a handheld applicator glides across the skin while delivering controlled thermal energy. Built-in cooling technology keeps the skin’s surface comfortable while the deeper layers are heated to the ideal temperature for collagen remodeling. The device continuously reads feedback from the skin itself, allowing your provider at Wellington Rejuvenation Center to adjust the depth and intensity of energy in real time for a treatment that is customized to your unique skin profile.
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm massage rather than discomfort, and no numbing cream or needles are required.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
A XERF session at our Royal Palm Beach office typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Before your appointment, one of our providers will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine the right energy settings and number of passes for your unique needs.
After treatment, you may notice mild redness or warmth in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours. There are no bandages, no restrictions on activity, and no need to take time off work. Many patients notice an immediate tightening effect, with results continuing to improve over the following one to three months.
Who Is a Good Candidate for XERF?
XERF is well suited for men and women who are experiencing early to moderate skin laxity and want to improve tone and firmness without surgery. It is commonly used on the face, neck, jawline, and body, including areas like the abdomen and arms. Because XERF works at multiple depths, it can benefit patients who want both surface smoothing and deeper structural lifting in one treatment.
During your consultation at Wellington Rejuvenation Center, our team will help determine whether XERF alone, or in combination with other treatments, is the best approach for your skin goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many XERF sessions will I need?
Many patients see noticeable results after a single XERF treatment, though your provider may recommend a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart for optimal collagen building, depending on your skin’s condition and your aesthetic goals.
Is XERF skin tightening painful?
No. XERF is designed for comfort, using integrated cooling technology to keep the skin’s surface at a comfortable temperature throughout treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, soothing massage rather than pain.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There is no downtime with XERF. Some patients experience mild, temporary redness or warmth in the treated area, but you can resume your normal activities, including work and exercise, immediately after your appointment.
How long do XERF results last?
Because XERF stimulates your body’s own collagen production, results can last for many months to over a year, depending on your skin’s natural aging process and lifestyle factors. Periodic maintenance sessions can help extend your results.
What areas of the body can XERF treat?
XERF can be used on the face, neck, and jawline, as well as body areas such as the abdomen, arms, and thighs, making it a versatile option for patients looking to address laxity in multiple areas.
When will I start to see results from XERF?
Some patients notice an immediate tightening effect right after treatment due to the initial contraction of collagen fibers. Continued improvement typically develops over the following one to three months as new collagen forms.
