Changes in skin firmness are a natural part of aging. Over time, collagen production decreases, and the skin may begin to look looser around the cheeks, jawline, chin, and neck. For patients who want to address these concerns without surgery, XERF offers an advanced, noninvasive approach to skin tightening and rejuvenation.
At Safety Harbor Family Dentistry, we are committed to helping our patients look and feel their best. XERF uses advanced radiofrequency technology to deliver controlled energy beneath the skin, helping support collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of skin laxity. Treatment is customized according to the individual’s anatomy, skin concerns, and aesthetic goals.

XERF does not require needles or surgical incisions. Instead, radiofrequency energy gently heats targeted layers beneath the skin while the surface remains protected and comfortable. This makes XERF an appealing option for people interested in firmer, smoother-looking skin without the recovery associated with more invasive procedures.
Results develop gradually as the body responds to treatment and collagen remodeling takes place. Patients may notice their skin looking tighter, smoother, and more refreshed over time.
What is XERF?
XERF is a noninvasive skin-tightening treatment that uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency energy. The system combines two radiofrequency frequencies, allowing treatment at different tissue depths based on the area being addressed.
Unlike treatments that primarily focus on the skin’s surface, XERF is designed to deliver controlled energy into deeper tissue. Heating these areas encourages a natural remodeling response in existing collagen while supporting the development of new collagen.
Because treatment can be adjusted for different depths and areas, our team can personalize each XERF session to the patient’s unique needs.
What concerns can XERF address?
Patients experience aging differently. Some people notice changes around the jawline first, while others are concerned about loose skin beneath the chin or a loss of firmness through the cheeks and neck.
XERF may be considered for patients who would like to improve concerns such as:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity
- A less defined jawline
- The appearance of early jowling
- Loose skin beneath the chin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness in the cheeks
- Crepey-looking skin on the neck
- General changes associated with declining collagen
During a consultation, we will evaluate the treatment area and discuss whether XERF is appropriate for the patient’s individual goals.
Firmer, smoother-looking skin
Collagen provides important structural support for healthy-looking skin. As collagen levels naturally decline with age, skin may become thinner, less elastic, and more prone to sagging.
XERF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to encourage collagen remodeling. As this process continues after treatment, patients may notice progressive improvements in firmness and skin texture.
The goal is not to dramatically change the way a patient looks. Instead, XERF is designed to create a naturally refreshed appearance by improving the underlying support of the skin.
Improved jawline and facial definition
Loss of firmness around the lower face can soften the jawline and contribute to the appearance of jowls.
By treating targeted tissue at different depths, XERF can help improve the appearance of lax skin along the jawline and lower face. Patients seeking subtle facial rejuvenation without surgery may find this particularly appealing.
Noninvasive treatment
One of the advantages of XERF is that treatment does not involve surgery, needles, or incisions.
Radiofrequency energy is delivered through a specialized treatment applicator placed against the skin. The system is designed to manage heat while maintaining patient comfort throughout treatment.
Because there are no surgical wounds to heal, XERF can be convenient for patients with active schedules who do not want an extended recovery period.
What happens during a XERF treatment?
Before treatment begins, we will discuss the patient’s concerns and determine which areas should be addressed. The skin will be prepared, and the XERF applicator will then be moved across the treatment area while controlled radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the surface.
Patients will typically notice a warming sensation as the radiofrequency energy is delivered. XERF incorporates cooling technology designed to help protect the skin’s surface and make the experience more comfortable.
Treatment settings can be adjusted according to the area being treated and the depth at which energy needs to be delivered.
The length of an appointment can vary depending on the number and size of the treatment areas.
Is there downtime after XERF?
XERF is designed as a treatment with little to no downtime for many patients. Since there are no incisions or injections, patients can typically return to many of their normal daily activities after leaving the office.
Some patients may experience temporary warmth, redness, tenderness, or mild swelling in the treated area. These effects are generally temporary.
We will provide individualized aftercare instructions following treatment and answer any questions about skincare, exercise, sun exposure, or other activities.
When will I see XERF results?
Skin tightening is a gradual process. Although some patients may notice changes relatively soon after treatment, continued improvement can occur as collagen remodeling progresses.
Because every patient’s skin, age, treatment area, and aesthetic goals are different, results and treatment recommendations will vary.
Some patients may benefit from more than one XERF treatment. During the consultation process, our team will recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on the patient’s needs and desired outcome.
Is XERF right for me?
XERF may be an option for adults who have begun noticing skin laxity or other signs of aging but are not ready for—or do not want—a surgical procedure.
A consultation is the best way to determine whether treatment is appropriate. We will review the patient’s concerns, examine the treatment area, discuss expectations, and determine whether XERF or another option is most appropriate.
It is also important for patients to maintain realistic expectations. XERF can improve the appearance of skin firmness and laxity, but a noninvasive treatment cannot reproduce the same degree of correction as surgical lifting procedures.
