The unique dual-frequency feature of XERF distinguishes it from legacy radiofrequency (RF) treatments by delivering energy at two different frequencies: 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz. This allows Dr. Jimmy C. Sung to customize the depth of energy penetration to target various layers of facial tissues. The higher frequency (6.78 MHz) is ideal for superficial skin tightening, while the lower frequency (2 MHz) penetrates deeper for more significant results.

XERF is a technique-driven, non-invasive RF energy treatment for the various layers of the face. RF energy, when applied to specific areas of the face, causes the existing collagen to contract and stimulates the growth of new collagen, leading to a tightening effect. RF thermal energy also triggers the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, producing smoother, more youthful skin. While individual results may vary, most patients experience a noticeable Improvement in skin tightness and texture after XERF treatments.
The XERF procedure is a safe and effective non-invasive treatment with minimal discomfort or downtime. The XERF system is equipped to counteract heat with cooling sensations, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. While there may be moments of increased warmth, rest assured that Dr. Sung, One of the most experienced RF energy specialists will deliver the treatment safely, making your experience as comfortable as possible.
Most XERF procedures are performed in under an hour, making it a convenient and manageable process. The exact timeframe is dependent upon the areas you want to address, but rest assured, you will be in and out in no time.
One of the most exciting aspects of XERF treatment is the immediate visual result, often referred to as the 'first peak'. This instant improvement can be a source of encouragement, signaling the beginning of your skin's transformation. However, it is Important to remember that in some patients, this initial peak may subside within a few days. The 'second peak' of results arrives approximately three months post-treatment, when the stimulation of collagen production reaches a clinically observable state.
This unique combination of immediate and delayed results will keep you excited about your skin's transformation journey, with the 'second peak' bringing more long-lasting and noticeable changes.
The ideal candidates for XERF have realistic expectations of the procedure and are generally in good mental and physical health. Both men and women may consider XERF treatments if they can relate to any of the following cosmetic concerns:
After your XERF session, you may experience slight redness, a temporary side effect that typically subsides within a few hours. You may also notice a mild tightening sensation, which is a sign that the treatment is working. Unlike more invasive skin treatments, XERF ensures that you leave our NYC office with refreshed, revitalized skin, ready to take on the day. We recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and using a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and protected in the days following your treatment.

When it comes to non-invasive Skin tightening treatments, Thermage FLX and XERF are two popular options that utilize radiofrequency (RF) technology to enhance skin laxity and stimulate collagen production. Both treatments are safe and effective, offering a secure solution to your skin concerns. However, there are some key differences between the two, such as the frequency and energy delivery, cooling technology, and treatment efficiency and time. Understanding these differences can help you make an informed decision about which treatment is best for you.
1. Frequency and Energy Delivery
Thermage FLX: uses a single RF frequency of 6.78 MHz, specifically targeting collagen stimulation and fiber contraction.
XERF utilizes a dual-frequency monopolar RF system, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, allowing for RF energy stimulation across various skin depths.
2. Cooling Technology and Comfort
Thermage FLX: uses bursts of cryogen during treatment to help reduce discomfort.
XERF features Wave Fit™ Pulse technology, an advanced technology that ensures a comfortable treatment experience.
3. Treatment Efficiency and Time
Thermage FLX: Has a smaller treatment tip size of 4 cm².
XERF has a larger treatment tip of 6 cm², which covers more surface area with each shot. This makes XERF treatment slightly quicker.
4. Energy Output
Thermage FLX: Delivers approximately 30,000J of energy in 300 shots.
XERF: Provides between 44,000J and 52,000J of energy in the same number of shots.
Thermage and XERF are both effective treatments for skin tightening and collagen stimulation. The best option for you will depend on your specific anatomy, conditions, and desired results. Dr. Jimmy C. Sung will provide extensive consultation and personalized recommendations to help you make the most suitable choice, ensuring you feel understood and cared for.
Sofwave, a planar ultrasound technology, and XERF, a multi-frequency monopolar radio frequency, are both powerful tools in facial tightening treatment. In suitable candidates, these technologies can be combined to harness the synergistic effects of ultrasound and monopolar RF energies for optimal results. This combination, which takes advantage of the strengths of both technologies, is tailored to the needs of the individual patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
XERF and Ultherapy Prime are two innovative options that cater to non-invasive facial tightening. Here's a closer look at what sets them apart. XERF utilizes radiofrequency (RF) technology to stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity, a safe and proven method. On the other hand, Ultherapy Prime is the latest generation of Ultherapy, the most advanced FDA-cleared high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) device for non-invasive lifting of the face and neck, ensuring your safety and comfort. In summary, while both XERF and Ultherapy Prime are designed to tighten the face and promote collagen production; they utilize different technologies and offer unique benefits. Dr. Jimmy C. Sung, with his expertise, will inform and guide you on your choice, ensuring you make an informed decision.
XERF Effectors are the various handpiece tips for the XERF system, a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) device designed for structural skin tightening, lifting, and toning by stimulating collagen production. XERF Effector tips, available in a variety of sizes and shapes, including the innovative 'spider pattern' design, allow for precise and customized treatments across a wide range of facial and body areas, from large, thick areas to narrow, thin areas, and curved surfaces, enabling precise targeting of treatment. Dr. Sung will recommend and use the XERF Effector best suited for your anatomy and your goals.
The results from an XERF treatment can last for 12 to 18 months, depending on the individual and their treatment plan. Regular follow-up sessions, often once or twice per year, can help extend and maintain the effects of XERF.
You can immediately resume your daily routine activities after the treatment, without any need for a Recovery period. This convenience is one of the many benefits of XERF treatment. You can resume your daily routine activities immediately after the treatment without any recovery period.
You do not need anesthesia for XERF treatments. XERF's unique ICD Cooling System lowers the skin temperature directly at the treatment spot, and the built-in Wave Fit Pulse technology monitors and stabilizes the overall treatment. This ensures you receive the right balance of energy delivery and cooling effect, making XERF a safe and reliable treatment option.
XERF is a non-invasive medical device, so no special care is required after the treatment. You can even wear makeup on the same day. We recommend using sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays and a regenerative skin care routine that includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding harsh chemicals or exfoliants for a few days after the treatment.
The cost of XERF treatment begins at $1800 in New York City. The price may vary depending on your specific conditions, your treatment goals, the area being treated, and the experience and training of the provider. XERF is an FDA-classified Class II medical device, which means it can only be operated by licensed medical professionals. In the State of New York, aestheticians are not licensed medical professionals.
