XERF
XERF Radio Frequency Skin Tightening in San Antonio, Texas
WHAT IS XERF?
XERF is a Structural Skin Tightening treatment that delivers all the skin-tightening, collagen-boosting power of radio frequency energy, with no needles or downtime.
XERF uses multifrequency monopolar RF to deliver energy at shallow, middle, and deep layers (including the SMAS), triggering collagen remodeling for a subtle immediate lift with continued firming over the following weeks.

WHAT TO EXPECT
BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
To ensure optimal results and minimize sensitivity, we recommend:
• Avoiding excessive sun exposure or tanning for 5–7 days prior to treatment
• Avoiding retinoids, exfoliating products, or active skincare ingredients for 3–5 days prior
• Arriving with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or sunscreen
• Informing your provider of any recent treatments or skin sensitivities
DURING THE TREATMENT
During a XERF treatment, a handheld device delivers radiofrequency energy to the targeted area of the skin. Patients typically describe the sensation as a deep warming or heating feeling beneath the skin. The treatment is designed to maintain a therapeutic temperature that stimulates collagen while remaining comfortable and safe. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, and treatments typically take 30–60 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
RECOMMENDED TREATMENT PLAN
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of two treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
Radiofrequency treatments work by stimulating collagen remodeling, which occurs gradually over time. Spacing treatments several weeks apart allows the body to begin producing new collagen before the second treatment further enhances the process. This staged stimulation helps maximize skin tightening, improve structural support, and produce more noticeable and longer-lasting results.
Most patients begin to see improvements within several weeks, with continued skin tightening and rejuvenation developing over the following months as collagen continues to rebuild.
