About Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is an electromagnetic current that generates heat and causes contractions within tissues. RF energy can be delivered to the skin, fat, and muscle, and it is used in nearly all medical specialties. (1) When used in aesthetics, RF skin tightening treatments can create a tighter, smoother look and feel to the skin, as well as improve its health and elasticity. At Rotemberg Plastic Surgery, we offer Xerf by Lutronic to tighten the skin, allowing you to enhance both your appearance and confidence with ease.

About Xerf by Lutronic

Xerf is an exciting new RF skin tightening technology designed by Lutronic. The Xerf system is the world’s first multifrequency monopolar RF treatment and combines both 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies to precisely deliver energy into the depths of your skin that need it. This device also features an advanced integrated cryogen delivery system to keep the surface of your skin cool while being treated. (2)

Benefits

There are several benefits to revitalizing your appearance using Xerf, some of which include:

  • Stimulated Collagen Production: RF energy penetrates deep tissue layers to enhance collagen production, improving skin texture and elasticity.
  • Rejuvenated Appearance: Xerf can be used to address loose or sagging skin, restoring a tauter, smoother, and more youthful-looking appearance.
  • Elevated Confidence: Restoring your appearance can lead to improvements in your self-esteem, confidence, and even sense of body positivity.
  • Non-Surgical Treatment: Radiofrequency skin tightening treatments can help you achieve significant results without requiring the use of incisions, and they even contain a system to keep your skin’s surface cool to avoid using anesthesia.
  • Little to No Downtime: Most patients can return to their regular routines after their appointment, allowing them to refine their appearance with minimal disruption to their daily activities.
  • Versatile Treatment: Xerf can be used on patients of all skin types and tones, allowing most patients to receive treatment. (3)
  • Lasting Results: This treatment is designed to provide gradual, long-lasting results, allowing you to experience your enhancements for several months to years.

Candidates

Candidates for Xerf skin tightening include those experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and who are looking for non-surgical solutions to tighten their skin. Anyone interested in RF skin tightening should be in good overall health and hold realistic expectations regarding what this procedure can achieve. Dr. Rotemberg or another specialist will determine each patient’s candidacy during their consultation.

Personal Consultation

The first step to achieving smoother, tighter skin is attending a personal consultation. During the consultation, we will ask about your medical history, concerns, and treatment goals. We will also perform a physical examination to evaluate the condition and quality of your skin.

Dr. Rotemberg or another rejuvenation specialist will use these details to determine your candidacy and create your treatment plan. They may recommend additional procedures to pair with your treatment to help enhance your results. They will also dedicate time to answering any questions you may have, as well as quelling any potential concerns.

If you are ready to schedule this consultation, please submit our online contact form or call (305) 274-5170.

Preparation

You will receive a set of preparation instructions leading up to your appointment. These instructions are fairly straightforward, but each should be followed to ensure the optimal results.

You may be asked to modify your skincare routine to avoid the use of harsh or heavy products, such as chemical peels, retinoids, retinols, and exfoliants. Sun protection should be worn when leaving the house, and direct or excessive sun exposure should be avoided in general. It is also important to stay hydrated and maintain a balanced and nutritious diet.

Procedure

When you arrive for your procedure, you should arrive with clean skin that is free from any makeup and skincare products. A member of our team will lead you to a private treatment room where your skin will be cleansed and sanitized. If needed, a topical anesthetic may be applied; however, this treatment is typically well-tolerated.

Your specialist will apply a thin layer gel to help the Xerf device glide across the skin more efficiently. The handpiece is then passed over the skin as it emits RF energy. This energy is absorbed by the underlying layers of skin and tissue, which contract the skin and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Throughout your treatment, we will adjust the settings of the device as needed for more sensitive or lax areas. Once the entire treatment area has been addressed, we will apply a soothing ointment or serum.

Recovery

After your treatment, you will be able to return to your daily routine, as there is no downtime associated with Xerf skin tightening. You may experience mild redness or swelling, but these effects typically subside within 24-48 hours. During this time, we recommend avoiding physical or strenuous activities, as well as heat exposure. You will also need to avoid using harsh skincare products as your skin barrier recovers, and use moisturizer and sunscreen daily. Your specialist will provide you with a more detailed set of recovery instructions and guidelines in person.

Results

Radiofrequency Skin Tightening with Xerf by Lutronic Dr. Silvia Rotemberg Rotemberg Plastic Surgery

You may notice improvements in the tightness of your skin immediately after your appointment, but the full results of your Xerf treatment will become more apparent as your collagen levels rise. You will be able to enjoy firmer, smoother, and more elastic skin, as well as a more youthful-looking appearance, as wrinkles and creases are eliminated. The results of Xerf are designed to be long-lasting, with many patients experiencing improvements that can last between several months to a year. However, some patients may need a series of treatment sessions to achieve their ideal results.

Corresponding Procedures

Lutronic RF Microneedling

Lutronic RF Microneedling is a cutting-edge device that combines radiofrequency energy with microneedling to restore a more youthful and vibrant appearance. This treatment can be used to address many concerns, including the appearance of wrinkles, creases, facial scars, skin laxity, and more.

Microneedling uses rows of fine needles to create controlled micro-punctures on the skin’s surface. These help trigger the body’s regenerative properties and stimulate the production of collagen. RF energy is then emitted into the underlying tissues, further enhancing collagen production and improving the health and quality of your skin’s deeper structures.
