XERF is the next generation of radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening — a non-surgical treatment that firms and lifts skin by stimulating your body’s own collagen production. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, XERF has quickly become one of our most requested treatments for patients who want visible tightening without surgery or downtime.
XERF is most often used to tighten and firm:
Because XERF works by remodeling collagen rather than removing tissue, results look natural — your skin, firmer. It pairs beautifully with treatments like RF microneedling and biostimulators for a complete non-surgical lift.
XERF at ZENA Medical generally ranges from $1,300 to $2,500 per session. Where you fall in that range depends on the area treated, the degree of skin laxity and the number of pulses your plan calls for — smaller areas like the jawline sit at the lower end, full face or face and neck higher. During your consultation, Dr. Zena Gabriel will examine your skin, explain exactly what XERF can achieve for you, and give you transparent pricing for your plan — no surprises. See the full breakdown on our XERF skin tightening page.
The best XERF candidates are adults noticing early to moderate skin laxity who want firming without surgery. Because a board-certified dermatologist oversees every ZENA Medical treatment, XERF can be tailored safely to nearly all skin types and tones. Patients with severe laxity may be better served by combining treatments — something we’ll discuss honestly at your visit.
Many patients notice initial tightening shortly after treatment, but the real magic happens over the following 2–3 months as new collagen forms. Results continue improving for up to six months and can last a year or longer with maintenance sessions.
Let’s find the right treatment for you. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend a personalized plan with clear pricing. We’ll tell you when a different treatment would serve you better — that happens more often than you’d think.
