How Does XERF Work?
XERF is a monopolar radiofrequency system made by Cynosure Lutronic. A handpiece with built-in cooling passes controlled radiofrequency energy through the surface of the skin and warms the tissue underneath. That warmth is the signal that tells your body to build new collagen, the protein that keeps skin firm. Because nothing punctures the skin, there is nothing to heal: no needles, usually no numbing cream, no downtime.
XERF received U.S. FDA clearance in August 2025. The system combines two radiofrequency frequencies with three depth settings and ten intensity levels, so the provider adjusts the treatment to you rather than running one fixed setting.
What XERF can help with
- Jawline and lower face ? a softening jawline, early jowling, and less firmness along the lower face.
- Neck ? loose or crepey-looking skin under the chin and along the neck.
- Skin laxity and fine lines ? general loss of firmness on the face. For texture and acne scarring, microneedling radiofrequency is usually the better fit.
- Upper chest, arms and body ? the same warming-and-collagen approach works on the d�colletage, upper arms, abdomen and thighs.
Results vary from person to person. XERF improves the appearance of firmness and laxity; it is not a facelift and does not remove excess skin.
XERF vs. Microneedling RF, Thermage, Ultherapy and Sofwave
Revive offers both XERF and microneedling radiofrequency, so our recommendation is based on your skin and goals, not on which device is in the room.
| Treatment | Energy | Needles? | Numbing? | Downtime | Best known for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XERF | Monopolar RF, two frequencies, three depths, built-in cooling | No | No | None | Firmness and laxity on face, neck and body with no recovery |
| Microneedling RF (e.g., Morpheus8) | RF delivered through microneedles | Yes | Usually | A few days of redness | Texture, scarring and firmness together |
| Thermage | Monopolar RF | No | No | None | The original non-invasive RF tightening platform |
| Ultherapy | Micro-focused ultrasound | No | Often | None to mild | Lifting brow, neck and under-chin |

The Revive Medical Center Process
- Free 20-minute assessment. We review your health history, look at the area you have in mind, and tell you honestly whether XERF is the right treatment. You leave with a plan and an exact price.
- Treatment, about 45 minutes. Numbing is usually not needed (available if you want it). It is not painless: expect deep warmth, sharper over bony areas. Your provider sets the depth and intensity for your area; each pulse arrives with a cooling touch, and you can say stop at any point.
- Straight back to your day. Mild redness or warmth for a few hours is common. No bandages, nothing to hide.
- Collagen keeps working. A brief tightening in the first days fades; the lasting result builds over 2 to 6 months as new collagen forms. Judge it at three months. Maintenance is typically every 6 to 12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is XERF?
XERF is a non-invasive skin-tightening treatment made by Cynosure Lutronic. It uses monopolar radiofrequency to warm the tissue beneath the skin, which stimulates your own collagen. There are no needles, usually no numbing, and no downtime. A treatment takes about 45 minutes.
How much does XERF cost in Lawrenceville, GA?

At Revive Medical Center in Lawrenceville you get an exact quote at a free 20-minute assessment, and new patients receive a $300 credit toward treatment booked within 7 days.
Does XERF hurt?
It is not painless, but most people find it tolerable without numbing: a deep, sudden warmth, sharper over bony or low-fat spots. The handpiece has built-in cooling, nothing punctures the skin, the provider adjusts the intensity to you, you can stop at any point, and numbing cream is available if you want it.
How many XERF sessions do I need?
Many people need one or two sessions, with a maintenance session every 6 to 12 months. Your plan depends on the area and your skin; it is set at your assessment.
Is there any downtime after XERF?
No downtime. Mild redness or warmth for a few hours is common. Most people drive themselves home and go back to their day.
When will I see results from XERF?
A brief tightening in the first few days fades within about a week. The lasting result comes from new collagen and builds over 2 to 6 months. Timing varies from person to person and we do not promise a specific week or percentage.
Is XERF FDA cleared?
Yes. U.S. clearance was announced by Cynosure Lutronic in August 2025. The device is cleared, not approved — those are different FDA terms. Its cleared indication is for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis; Cynosure states that “skin tightening” describes tightening effects that occur via soft tissue coagulation.
XERF vs Morpheus8: what is the difference?
Morpheus8 is RF microneedling: tiny needles deliver energy into the skin, usually with numbing and some recovery. XERF uses no needles at all and has no downtime. They suit different goals; Revive offers both, so the recommendation is based on your skin, not on which device is in the room.
XERF vs Thermage: what is the difference?
Both are monopolar radiofrequency with no needles. XERF is the newer platform (U.S. clearance 2025); it combines two frequencies with three depth settings and built-in cooling. Which is right for you depends on your skin and goals.
Is XERF safe for all skin types?
XERF can be used across a wide range of skin types. Your provider will review your skin, treatment area, and health history to determine whether it is appropriate for you.
