A Little More Support
Skin laxity shows up gradually. The jawline looks a little softer. The lower face starts to lose some definition. The neck isn’t as tight as it used to be. For many people, that is the point where they want something more effective than skincare, but not as big a step as surgery.
XERF gives us a non-surgical way to treat that early softening directly. At Skin Damsel Aesthetics, it can be a strong fit for patients who want more support through the lower face and neck without surgery or a long recovery.

The Lift Starts Here
XERF is a skin-tightening treatment that uses multifrequency monopolar RF energy to heat tissue at multiple depths, support collagen remodeling, and improve mild to moderate skin laxity with little to no downtime. It is a next-gen structural skin tightening treatment, with two frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, that help the XERF device treat the skin at varying depths. It is a tightening treatment for patients who are starting to notice early signs of sagging skin, softer contours, reduced skin firmness, and less definition through the lower face or neck.
Where It Works Best
XERF is best for skin laxity. That usually means skin that has started to loosen or soften, especially in areas where patients want better definition without surgery. It can also help with fine lines when those lines are tied to a loss of support rather than only the skin’s surface.
XERF may be used to treat:
It is less useful when the main concern is pigment, rough texture, or volume loss. Those are different problems and usually call for different aesthetic treatments.

Beneath The Surface
XERF works by delivering energy into the tissue at multiple depths. The device uses targeted energy and controlled surface temperature management so the skin can be heated where tightening matters most while the patient’s skin stays comfortable during treatment. XERF reaches the shallow and deeper layers of tissue simultaneously. The heat encourages collagen stimulation, collagen remodeling, and support for elastin production over time.
What Makes It Worth It
XERF stands out because it is focused on structural skin. It gives patients a skin-tightening treatment for skin that has started to soften in the lower face and neck.
Benefits include:


Who It Suits Best
XERF is usually a good fit for patients with mild to moderate laxity rather than heavy tissue descent. You may be a good candidate if you:
XERF may not be the right fit if you want facelift-level correction, need volume restoration more than tightening, or are mainly looking to treat pigment or texture.
In The Treatment Chair
A XERF treatment usually starts with an assessment of the treatment areas. We'll review the degree of laxity, choose settings based on the patient’s skin, and then treat the area in a series of controlled passes.
In many cases, numbing is minimal or not needed at all, though some patients may still prefer extra comfort support depending on sensitivity.
Patients describe the sensation as warm rather than sharp. Some bony areas may feel more intense for a moment. After treatment, most patients are able to go back to normal activities the same day.
The Easy Part
Recovery is usually light. Most patients do not need to plan for significant downtime, though mild redness, warmth, or slight puffiness can happen right after treatment. That usually settles fairly quickly.
Post-care is usually simple:
That short recovery time is one reason many patients benefit from XERF when they want visible results without a major interruption.

When It Starts Showing
Some patients notice a tighter feel sooner, but the more meaningful change happens gradually as collagen rebuilds. Visible results usually become easier to judge over the following weeks, with fuller improvement developing over the next few months.
As for how many treatments are needed, that depends on the amount of laxity and your goals. Sessions typically fall into one of two lanes: a single session for early softening, or more than one treatment for broader correction or maintenance. Some patients benefit from a short series, such as 2–3 sessions, for more visible change.
Your Next Step
If you are starting to notice early skin laxity through the lower face or neck, XERF may be worth a closer look. Skin Damsel Aesthetics is proud to offer XERF in Dallas for patients who want firmer-looking skin, better support, and a treatment plan that still feels realistic for real life.

Pricing depends on the treatment areas, treatment time, intensity levels used, and whether you are doing one session or a broader plan. The best way to get accurate pricing is with a consultation.
No. XERF is an RF treatment, not a laser.
Yes, that is one of the main reasons patients seek it out. It is often used for the lower face, jawline, and neck.
Many patients do not require numbing cream. The device is built to manage comfort during treatment, though sensitivity varies.
XERF uses multifrequency monopolar RF energy with two frequencies, three depth settings, and real-time impedance feedback to customize treatment across multiple depths.
Usually right away. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
