XERF treatment at CūRA represents a commitment to advanced clinical physics and patient comfort. XERF is a non-invasive breakthrough in the field of skin tightening.
By utilizing a multifrequency monopolar RF system (including the precise 6.78 MHz frequency), XERF delivers energy to multiple tissue depths to address sagging skin at its foundation. In our luxury Del Mar sanctuary, we utilize this technology to ensure your journey toward skin firmness is as intentional as it is transformative.
Purpose: Structural skin tightening, lifting, and collagen stimulation.
Technology: Multifrequency monopolar RF (radiofrequency) with Wave Fit energy.
Treatment Areas: Full face, lower face, neck, and specialized body zones.
Downtime: Zero; return to normal activities immediately.
Results: Some noticeable results are immediate, with peak results typically seen at 3–6 months.
XERF works by utilizing monopolar radiofrequency to create uniform thermal zones within the deeper layers of the skin. Unlike other treatments that only hit one level, the Xerf system features multiple depths of energy delivery, targeting both the deep dermis and the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS). This thermal effect causes immediate contraction of collagen bundles while simultaneously triggering long-term collagen production and elastin production. The result is a comprehensive skin tightening treatment that restores the "bounce" and structural skin support of younger years.



What is the XERF procedure like?
Your XERF experience begins with a private consultation to map your specific concerns.
While some patients prefer a topical numbing cream, many find the procedure very tolerable without it. You will feel a deep warming sensation as the device delivers energy, but the maintaining surface temperature system ensures the middle and surface layers of the skin stay protected. This single session is an efficient, unhurried luxury, allowing you to tighten skin without anesthesia or a painful recovery.
The XERF treatment is specifically engineered to treat moderate skin laxity and structural sagging.

A good candidate is anyone experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity who is not yet ready for a surgical facelift. It is a favorite for those who value structural skin tightening and a natural, "not overdone" look. During your private consultation, we will review your goals and evaluate your skin to ensure XERF is the right fit. While XERF safe protocols are extensive, it is not recommended for those with certain metal implants or pacemakers.
The recovery time for XERF is virtually non-existent. You can return to normal activities and your daily activities immediately following the procedure. Some patients experience a slight pinkness or a "tight" feeling for a few hours, but there is no bruising or peeling.
Precision Energy Delivery
The ability to control energy delivery across multiple tissue depths ensures the treatment is tailored to your unique anatomy. This leads to more noticeable results compared to traditional RF treatment options.
Is XERF safe?
Absolutely. Because it uses radiofrequency rather than light, it is safe for all skin colors and types. It does not carry the risk of hyperpigmentation associated with some lasers.
Maximized Treatment Comfort
Thanks to the Wave Fit technology and integrated cooling technology, the discomfort is significantly lower than that of older generations of skin-tightening devices. Multiple clinical studies have highlighted XERF as a leader in patient comfort.
While some noticeable results in skin firmness are apparent immediately due to collagen contraction, the true results unfold over time. As the collagen stimulation and elastin production take effect, the skin becomes progressively tighter. The best results are typically seen 3 to 6 months after a single session, though some patients choose two treatments for maximum impact.

The cost depends on whether you are treating the full face, neck, or specific body areas. We provide a full breakdown during your consultation.
Yes. Combining Monopolar RF with micro-needling is a powerful way to address both structural skin laxity and surface texture simultaneously.
XERF is unique because of its multifrequency Monopolar RF and Wave Fit technology, which offers more energy with higher treatment comfort than many older skin-tightening devices.
Many patients achieve their goals in a single session per year, though an individual patient with more significant skin laxity may benefit from two treatments spaced a few months apart.
No. You can resume your daily activities immediately. Any slight redness typically disappears within a few hours.
