XERF Treatment in Phoenix
Firmer, lifted skin, without needles, surgery or downtime.
XERF is the next generation of non-invasive skin tightening. Using two radiofrequency frequencies in a single pulse, it heats multiple layers of the skin at once to tighten the structures that support your face and stimulate new collagen. The result is a visible lift that keeps improving over the following weeks. At Aiona Aesthetics, our licensed providers offer XERF treatments for patients across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe and the surrounding Valley.

XERF Skin Tightening: What Is It Used For?
As we age, collagen and elastin break down, and the fibrous structures that hold the skin in place start to loosen. Arizona’s strong sun can speed up that process, leading to sagging, jowls and crepey skin earlier than expected.
Because XERF works with your body’s own collagen production, results look natural, never pulled or “done.”
XERF skin tightening targets that loss of structure from within. It’s commonly used to:
01Lift and tighten the lower face and jawline, softening early jowls.
02Firm loose skin on the neck and under the chin.
03Smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
04Improve overall skin quality, texture and firmness.
05Tighten skin on the body, such as the abdomen, arms or knees.

Ideal Candidates for XERF
XERF treatment may be a great option if you
—Have mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck or body
—Are noticing early jowls, a softer jawline or crepey skin
—Want a non-surgical alternative with no downtime
—Want to maintain results from a previous facelift or other procedures
—Are looking to prevent further sagging and keep your skin firm over time
XERF may not be recommended if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, have metal implants in the treatment area, or have active skin infections or open wounds where you’d be treated. Patients with advanced sagging may get better results from surgery. During your consultation, our provider will assess your skin and goals to confirm whether XERF is right for you.

The XERF Treatment Process
1
Personalized Consultation
Your provider will evaluate your skin laxity, discuss your goals and design a treatment plan for the areas you want to address.
2
Preparation
The skin is cleansed and a thin layer of gel is applied. No numbing cream is needed for most patients.
3
The Treatment
Your provider glides the XERF handpiece over each area, delivering radiofrequency energy at the depths best suited to your anatomy while integrated cooling keeps you comfortable. Most patients describe a deep, warming sensation. A full-face treatment typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
4
Aftercare
There’s no downtime. You may notice mild redness or warmth for a few hours, and you can return to your normal routine right away. Daily sunscreen helps protect your results.
5
Follow-Up Sessions
Many patients see great results from a single session, while others benefit from a short series spaced about four to six weeks apart. Your provider will recommend the right plan for you.
One session is often enough, with no needles and no downtime.

XERF Before and After: What Results to Expect
XERF delivers both an immediate lift and progressive improvement as your body builds new collagen.
Right after treatment
Many patients notice skin that looks tighter and more lifted.
Over the next 6 to 12 weeks
New collagen continues to form, and the jawline, neck and overall skin firmness keep improving.
Long-term
Results typically last around 12 to 18 months, and maintenance sessions can help extend them.
Individual results vary depending on age, degree of laxity, skin quality and lifestyle.

Is XERF a laser or radiofrequency device?
Many people search for “XERF laser,” but XERF is actually a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device, not a laser. That distinction matters: while lasers target pigment and the skin’s surface, radiofrequency delivers heat deep beneath the skin, which means less risk of pigment changes and is suitable for a wide range of skin tones.
Built-in cooling and real-time temperature monitoring protect the skin’s surface, making the treatment comfortable without needles or numbing.
XERF is FDA-cleared for non-invasive skin tightening.
What makes XERF unique is its multifrequency technology. It’s the first system to combine two radiofrequency frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, in a single pulse, reaching multiple tissue depths at the same time. This allows your provider to:
01Tighten the deeper support structures that hold the skin in place.
02Stimulate new collagen and elastin for long-term firmness.
03Customize the depth of treatment for each area of your face or body.

Frequently Asked Questions About XERF in Phoenix
What is XERF?
XERF is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency to heat multiple layers of the skin at once, tightening its support structures and stimulating new collagen.
Is XERF a laser?
No. Although it’s often called “XERF laser,” XERF uses radiofrequency energy, not laser light. Radiofrequency doesn’t target pigment, which makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones.
Does XERF hurt?
Most patients describe a deep warming sensation rather than pain. Built-in cooling keeps the skin comfortable, and no numbing cream is needed for most patients.
How many XERF sessions will I need?
Many patients see noticeable results after one session. Some benefit from a short series spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on their degree of laxity and goals.
Is there downtime after XERF?
No. You may have mild redness or warmth for a few hours, but you can return to your normal activities immediately.
How long do XERF results last?
Results typically last around 12 to 18 months. Maintenance sessions can help extend and preserve your results.
What is the XERF treatment cost in Phoenix?
The XERF treatment cost depends on the areas treated and the number of sessions in your plan. During your consultation at Aiona Aesthetics, we’ll assess your skin and provide a personalized quote.
Is XERF a replacement for a facelift?
XERF can meaningfully tighten and lift the skin without surgery, but it doesn’t replace a surgical facelift for patients with advanced sagging. It’s an excellent option for early to moderate laxity and for maintaining surgical results.
Can XERF be combined with other treatments?
Yes. XERF pairs well with treatments like Sculptra, neurotoxins, dermal fillers and skin quality treatments. Your provider will recommend the best combination and timing for you.
