XERF

Aftercare Guide

XERF Aftercare Guidelines

XERF is the world's first multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency treatment, combining two frequencies — 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz — to deliver structural skin tightening at multiple tissue depths, including the deep SMAS layer beneath the skin. Unlike conventional RF devices that treat only the surface or mid-dermis, XERF reaches the same foundational layer targeted in surgical facelifts, producing meaningful lifting and tightening results without needles, numbing, or downtime. Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery cooling protects the skin's surface throughout the session, and Accurate Impedance Feedback technology continuously analyzes your skin in real time, allowing your provider to customize every treatment to your unique anatomy and goals.

Pre-Care

Come to your appointment with a clean, makeup-free face. Avoid applying heavy creams, oils, serums, or self-tanner to the treatment area on the day of your session.

Discontinue the use of retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and other exfoliating actives for 48 hours before your treatment to reduce the risk of sensitivity.

Avoid tanning beds, sunburn, and prolonged sun exposure on the treatment area for at least one week before your appointment. Treating sun-damaged or sunburned skin can affect your results and increase sensitivity.

Post-Care

Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense physical exercise for 24 hours after your XERF treatment. Mild redness or warmth in the treated area is normal and typically resolves within a few hours.

Use a mild cleanser and a moisturizer on the treated area. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating actives, and abrasive skincare products for 48 hours after your session.

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, especially in the days following treatment.

Protect Your Results and Keep Your Skin Improving

XERF works by stimulating new collagen and elastin production deep within the skin, and that process continues for weeks after your treatment. Most patients see progressive improvement in firmness, lifting, and texture over 6 to 12 weeks following each session. To protect and extend those results, a few simple long-term habits make a significant difference.

Wear Sunscreen Every Day
