What Is XERF?
XERF is an advanced, non-invasive Structural Skin Tightening treatment that delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy across the shallow, middle, and deep layers of the skin in a single session. Unlike conventional radiofrequency platforms, XERF reaches deeper into the dermal and subdermal structures where meaningful collagen remodeling begins, while continuously adapting to each patient’s unique skin profile through real-time analysis. The outcome is firmer, tighter, more refined skin — with no needles, no incisions, and no recovery time.
XERF is a thoughtful non-surgical option for patients seeking to address:
- Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face and neck
- Softening of fine lines and early wrinkles
- Loss of definition along the jawline and early jowling
- Crepey or loose skin under the eyes
- Overall facial firmness and lift
- Maintenance between, or as an alternative to, more invasive treatments
How XERF Works
XERF delivers monopolar radiofrequency energy across multiple depths of the skin — reaching the shallow, middle, and deep layers in a single session. Three depth settings and ten intensity levels allow each treatment to be precisely calibrated to your anatomy and goals, stimulating collagen remodeling in the foundational layers while refining surface texture above.
What sets XERF apart is its dual comfort technology. Integrated Cryogen Delivery continuously monitors the temperature of your skin, while Wave Fit™ Pulse balances energy delivery with a cooling effect throughout the session — keeping the treatment comfortable from start to finish. Most patients describe the sensation as a warm, deeply relaxing heat.
XERF also uses Accurate Impedance Feedback to analyze your skin in real time, adjusting energy delivery throughout the session to ensure every area receives precisely the amount of energy needed for optimal results.

What Can XERF Treat?
XERF is most commonly used to address concerns on the face, jawline, neck, and under-eye area, including:
- Skin laxity. Firms and tightens loose or sagging skin for a more youthful, lifted appearance.
- Jowling. Refines and redefines the jawline by addressing early descent of facial tissues.
- Fine lines and wrinkles. Smooths surface texture as new collagen forms and matures.
- Neck laxity. Tightens crepey or loose skin along the neck for a more contoured profile.
- Under-eye area. Gently firms the delicate skin beneath the eyes.
- Overall facial contour. Restores definition and lift for a naturally refreshed look.
XERF is appropriate for a wide range of skin types and tones, making it an inclusive option for our diverse patient community.
Why Choose XERF at Bombshelled Aesthetics?
The technology is only as valuable as the surgeon directing it. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, every XERF treatment is performed under the direct medical oversight of Dr. Pamela Brownlee, a double board-certified plastic surgeon (American Board of Plastic Surgery and American Board of Surgery) who is fellowship-trained and in private practice since 2021.

Your XERF Results
One of the qualities patients appreciate most about XERF is that results unfold in two phases.
Immediately following treatment, most patients notice a subtle but visible improvement in skin firmness and tone. The complexion appears refreshed, and the treated areas feel tighter.
Over the following three to six months, as the body’s natural collagen remodeling process continues, those results deepen and refine. Tightening becomes more pronounced, contours sharpen, and overall skin quality improves. Many patients report that their skin continues to look better well after their final session.
For optimal outcomes, the standard XERF protocol includes two treatments to the same area spaced approximately four to six weeks apart, allowing collagen development between sessions. Maintenance treatments every six to twelve months help preserve and build on your results over time.
Am I a Candidate for XERF?
XERF is an excellent option for women and men who want to address early to moderate skin laxity without committing to surgery. It is not a replacement for a surgical facelift; patients with significant sagging or excess skin may be better served by a surgical approach, which Dr. Brownlee will discuss during your consultation.
Ideal XERF candidates:
- Are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or jawline
- Want to improve firmness and contour without surgery or downtime
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about non-surgical skin tightening
- Are interested in preventive or maintenance treatment
- Represent a wide range of skin tones and skin types
