XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to improve the appearance of mild to moderate skin laxity. It delivers controlled energy at two frequencies, allowing treatment at different depths beneath the skin. The aim is firmer-looking skin and more defined facial contours without needles or surgery.

At A Plus Cosmetic Clinic in Auckland, your practitioner will assess your skin, facial structure and goals before recommending a treatment plan. XERF can be tailored to areas such as the cheeks, jawline and neck where you may be noticing changes in firmness. Results vary, and a consultation is the best way to decide whether it is suitable for you.

The Benefits Of XERF Skin Tightening Treatments

Firmer-looking skin

Controlled radiofrequency energy heats tissue beneath the skin’s surface. This can encourage collagen remodelling over time and improve the appearance of skin firmness.

More defined facial contours

Treatment may help improve the appearance of laxity around the cheeks and jawline. Your practitioner can focus on the areas that matter most to you.

Treatment tailored to your face

XERF combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz radiofrequency with adjustable depth and intensity settings. Your practitioner selects the settings based on your anatomy, skin and treatment goals.

Comfort built into the treatment

The device includes surface cooling and skin temperature monitoring. Treatment is generally performed without numbing, although you may feel warmth or brief hot spots. Tell your practitioner if an area feels uncomfortable.

Little interruption to your day

There are no needles or incisions. Many people return to their usual activities soon afterwards, although temporary redness, warmth, tenderness or swelling can occur.

Before & After

How XERF Treatments Work

Step 1: Consultation

We discuss your goals, review your health and treatment history, and assess your skin and facial structure. We will explain the likely benefits, limitations and risks before deciding whether XERF is right for you.

Step 2: Your XERF session

Your skin is prepared and the practitioner moves the treatment applicator across the planned areas. The device delivers radiofrequency energy with surface cooling. You can expect a warming sensation, and your practitioner can adjust the treatment in response to your comfort.

Step 3: After treatment

Your practitioner will give you aftercare advice and explain when to review your results. Some people notice an early change, but improvements in firmness may continue to develop over the following weeks and months. Individual results vary.

XERF Frequently Asked Questions

What is XERF?

XERF is a non-invasive, dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency treatment. It uses controlled heat at adjustable depths to improve the appearance of skin laxity and support collagen remodelling.

What areas can be treated?

Areas may include the cheeks, lower face and jawline. The neck or other areas may be considered following an individual assessment. Your practitioner will confirm which areas are appropriate for your treatment plan.

Is XERF painful?

People commonly describe warmth and occasional brief hot spots. XERF's cooling system is designed to make treatment more comfortable, but experiences differ. Let your practitioner know how you feel throughout the session.

Is there downtime?

There is generally little downtime, and many people resume normal activities shortly after treatment. Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness or swelling can happen. Your practitioner will provide advice specific to your skin and treatment.

When will I see results, and how long will they last?

You may notice an initial change, while the full visible response can develop over the following weeks and months. Results and their duration vary with your skin, age and treatment plan. Evidence specific to XERF is still developing, so we do not promise a fixed number of months.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on your starting point and the change you hope to see. Your practitioner will recommend a plan after your consultation and explain when your progress should be reviewed.

Could XERF affect facial fat?

Energy-based treatments can affect tissue below the skin, which is why the choice of treatment depth and the practitioner's assessment matter. Small early XERF studies have not established a pattern of unintended facial fat loss, but longer-term evidence is limited. If preserving facial volume is a concern, raise it at your consultation so your practitioner can assess the risks and settings with you.

Who should check with the clinic before booking?

Please tell us about any implanted electronic device, pregnancy or breastfeeding, active skin infection or inflammation, significant medical condition, recent facial procedure, or other concern before treatment. Your practitioner will assess suitability and explain the relevant risks.
