XERF Skin Tightening
in Newport Beach and Orange County, CA
Advanced Structural Skin Tightening With No Needles, No Numbing, and No Downtime
As collagen production declines with age, many patients start to notice skin laxity, crepey texture, early jowls, and a loss of definition along the jawline and neck. Sun exposure, stress, weight fluctuations, and rapid weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications can accelerate these changes. At Beauty Boost Med Spa in Newport Beach, we offer XERF Structural Skin Tightening, an advanced non-surgical radiofrequency treatment that tightens, smooths, and rejuvenates the skin without surgery, needles, or extended downtime.
XERF is the first and only monopolar radiofrequency technology that delivers multiple frequencies in a single shot. By combining two frequencies with intelligent cooling and fully customizable depth settings, XERF heats every layer of the skin, from the surface to the deep supportive tissue, while keeping treatments comfortable. The goal is firmer skin, a more defined contour, and better skin quality that still looks completely natural.
Developed by Lutronic, a leader in Korean aesthetic innovation, and now part of Cynosure Lutronic, XERF reflects the modern approach to aging: building healthy collagen and supporting skin structure rather than chasing aggressive or overdone results. If you are looking for an XERF treatment near me in Orange County, our Newport Beach team welcomes patients from Costa Mesa, Irvine, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, and across Orange County.
What Is XERF Structural Skin Tightening?
XERF uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency energy, 6.78MHz and 2MHz delivered together in one pulse, to tighten tissue and stimulate collagen remodeling beneath the skin. The higher frequency works in the more superficial layers, while the lower frequency travels deeper. Together, they follow the skin’s fibro-septal network, the fibrous bands that connect and support the skin, down to the deep subcutaneous layer and the fascia (SMAS), while holding the tissue at an effective temperature.
That controlled heat tightens existing collagen and triggers the production of new collagen and elastin. Over the following months, these fibers become thicker, stronger, and shorter, which restores firmness from within. This is why XERF is called structural skin tightening: it rebuilds the support system of the skin rather than treating only the surface.
XERF also uses real-time impedance feedback and real-time temperature monitoring, so energy delivery adapts continuously to each patient’s skin throughout the treatment. XERF is completely non-surgical and requires no needles, anesthesia, or prolonged downtime.

What Makes XERF Different?
Two Frequencies in a Single Shot
Traditional monopolar RF uses a single frequency, which means some of the energy never reaches the deeper layers. XERF delivers 6.78MHz and 2MHz in every shot, penetrating all layers of the skin and retaining heat longer for prolonged tightening.
Three Depth Levels and Ten Energy Levels
Our providers customize every XERF treatment using three depth settings:
Shallow: treats the epidermis and dermis to strengthen collagen and lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck.
Middle: treats the subcutaneous fascia to improve loose tissue in the lower face, jowls, and under the chin.
Deep: treats the deeper structural layers to restore firmness through collagen and elastin thickening, strengthening, and shortening.
Ten energy levels allow even finer adjustment for your skin thickness, sensitivity, and goals.
Wave Fit Pulse and a Never-Numb Experience
Conventional fixed-pulse RF releases energy in five or six intense pulses, which causes a rapid temperature spike and a painful experience. XERF’s patented Wave Fit pulse disperses energy over 12 gentle pulses, each paired with a burst of cooling gas. A heat phase raises the tissue temperature steadily, then a hold phase keeps it in the therapeutic range. You get effective, sustained heat beneath the surface with a comfortable Never-Numb treatment.
Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery (ICD) Cooling
Gapless ICD cooling protects the surface of the skin during every pulse. Because no numbing cream is needed, there is no pre-treatment wait, so appointments are shorter and easier to fit into a busy schedule.
The EFFECTOR 60 Spider Tip
The XERF EFFECTOR 60 tip delivers up to 150% more energy than a conventional monopolar RF tip with the same number of shots. Its Spider Tip design spreads energy uniformly, minimizing the hot edges that can occur with other devices, for more even, comfortable, and safe results.
What Can XERF Improve?
XERF is commonly used to improve mild to moderate skin laxity and visible signs of aging, including:
- Sagging skin on the face and neck
- Early jowls and loss of jawline definition
- Loose skin under the chin (submental area)
- Crepey skin texture
- Fine lines and loss of firmness in the lower face and cheeks
- Mild skin laxity on the body
Because XERF can be customized by depth and energy, it can also be used on areas of the body where skin tightening and collagen stimulation are desired.
XERF After Weight Loss and GLP-1 Medications
Significant weight loss, including weight loss associated with GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, can lead to changes in facial volume, skin elasticity, and firmness. Many patients notice laxity, crepey texture, facial hollowing, or loose skin along the jawline, neck, abdomen, arms, or thighs, sometimes called “Ozempic face” or post-weight-loss aging.
At Beauty Boost Med Spa, XERF Structural Skin Tightening is often part of a comprehensive post-weight-loss rejuvenation plan. By stimulating collagen and elastin at multiple depths, XERF helps restore firmness while preserving natural expression and movement. Patients often seek XERF after GLP-1 weight loss for:
- Facial laxity and an “Ozempic face” appearance
- Loss of jawline definition
- Loose skin under the chin and on the neck
- Crepey skin texture
- Mild body skin laxity
- Loss of firmness in the lower face and cheeks
For patients who have also lost facial volume, XERF can be paired with a Radiesse or Sculptra Collagen Boost or other facial balancing treatments for more complete results.
Benefits of XERF Skin Tightening
- Firmer, tighter skin on the face, neck, and body
- Improved jawline and under-chin definition
- Collagen and elastin that keep building for months
- Natural-looking results that preserve facial movement
- No needles, no numbing cream, and no downtime
- Comfortable Never-Numb treatment experience
- Sessions typically completed in under an hour
What to Expect During Your XERF Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation where our team evaluates your anatomy, skin quality, and degree of laxity. Because XERF does not require numbing cream, treatment can begin right away. Your provider will select the depth and energy settings for each area, then deliver multifrequency RF energy into the shallow, middle, and deep structural layers of the skin.
Most patients describe the treatment as warm and very tolerable. Many sessions are completed in under an hour, depending on the treatment area. Mild redness or warmth may appear afterward, and most patients return to their normal routine immediately.
When Will I See Results?
Many patients notice a visible improvement right after treatment. Collagen building continues over time, with firmness and definition progressing at one month, three months, and six months. For optimal results, Beauty Boost Med Spa commonly recommends a series of two treatments, depending on your degree of laxity and goals.
Who Is a Good Candidate for XERF?
XERF may be right for you if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body
- Notice early jowls, a softer jawline, or loose skin under the chin
- Have experienced skin changes after weight loss or GLP-1 medications
- Want to stimulate long-term collagen as preventative care
- Prefer a treatment with no surgery, needles, or downtime
XERF vs Sofwave, Thermage, and Ultherapy
XERF vs Sofwave
Both treatments improve skin laxity and stimulate collagen without downtime. Sofwave uses ultrasound energy at a fixed depth, while XERF uses two radiofrequency frequencies with three adjustable depth levels, allowing a more customized treatment.
XERF vs Thermage
Both use radiofrequency to tighten skin. Thermage uses a single monopolar frequency, while XERF delivers two frequencies in a single shot to reach all layers of the skin. XERF’s Wave Fit pulse and gapless cooling are designed for a comfortable, Never-Numb experience.
XERF vs. Ultherapy
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to target deeper foundational tissue. XERF uses multifrequency radiofrequency to heat multiple layers at once, from the dermis to the fascia, with a focus on comfort, skin quality, and minimal downtime.
