What Is XERF?

XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment from CYNOSURE LUTRONIC that delivers dual-frequency radiofrequency energy—both 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz—to reach various tissue depths without any incisions or needles.

Key features include:

  • Non-invasive treatment (no surgery, incisions, or needles)
  • Dual-frequency technology (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz)
  • FDA-approved for dermatologic and surgical procedures
  • Widely recognized for skin tightening and rejuvenation

The dual-frequency technology works by:

  • Delivering controlled thermal energy to multiple skin layers simultaneously
  • Targeting superficial, middle, and deep tissue layers with precision
  • Heating dermal tissues to stimulate collagen remodeling
  • Strengthening the fibro-septal network beneath your skin
  • Triggering your body's natural healing response

Research published by the Cleveland Clinic confirms that radiofrequency treatments effectively stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration for visible anti-aging benefits.
