XERF is an advanced radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment designed to lift, firm and refine the skin from within. Using dual-frequency monopolar RF, it delivers controlled heat across multiple depths of the skin to support collagen remodelling and improve firmness over time.
At Omniya in London, XERF is tailored to your skin, anatomy and goals, helping to soften early jowls, improve jawline definition, tighten the neck and restore a smoother, more supported appearance, without surgery or recovery time.
Discuss your skin goals, treatment areas, suitability for XERF, and the best approach for your results.

Firmness is one of the first things to change. The jawline softens, the area under the chin loses definition, the neck begins to crepe, and the lower face can start to look a little heavier than it used to.
None of it happens overnight, which is exactly why it can be hard to treat. You may not want surgery, and you may not want to look different. You want to look like yourself, only more supported.
XERF is designed for this kind of gradual change. It uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz energy, to deliver controlled heat beneath the skin surface. This energy can be directed across different depths, so each area can be treated according to its structure and level of laxity.
Shallow settings can be used for more delicate areas, middle depths for the mid-face and neck, and deeper settings for looser tissue around the lower face, jowls and under the chin. As the skin’s support layers are warmed in a controlled way, XERF helps stimulate the collagen response that supports firmer, tighter and smoother-looking skin over time.
Integrated cooling and controlled pulse delivery help protect the surface of the skin and keep treatment comfortable. The result is gradual, natural-looking firming: skin that feels more supported, with improved definition, while still moving and expressing naturally.
XERF is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to firm and support the skin without needles, incisions or downtime.
Although it is sometimes referred to as a “XERF laser”, XERF is not a laser. It does not use light energy or resurface the skin. Instead, it uses controlled radiofrequency heating beneath the skin surface to stimulate collagen contraction and longer-term collagen remodelling.
Because XERF is non-ablative, the surface of the skin remains intact. There is no cutting, no injection, and no numbing step, making it a suitable option for patients who want gradual tightening with minimal disruption to daily life.
XERF is suited to early-to-moderate skin laxity and declining skin quality on the face, neck and selected body areas.
It is commonly used for:
If your concern is significant loose skin or advanced sagging, XERF may still form part of a wider plan, but we will tell you honestly if another treatment or surgery would serve you better.
Most radiofrequency treatments deliver energy to a single depth. XERF works at two frequencies across multiple depths, allowing the upper face, mid-face, lower face, jawline and neck to be treated according to what each area needs.
Shallow energy can be used for more delicate areas, middle depths for the mid-face and neck, and deeper settings for looser tissue around the lower face, jowls and under the chin.
XERF uses integrated cooling and controlled pulse delivery to help protect the skin surface while the radiofrequency energy works beneath it. Most patients describe the sensation as deep warmth rather than pain.
XERF uses real-time skin feedback and adjustable settings, so your treatment can be adapted to your anatomy, skin quality and level of laxity.
varies per patient
XERF treatment cost depends on the area treated, your degree of laxity and whether your practitioner recommends a single session or a course.
At Omniya, pricing is confirmed after consultation because XERF is tailored to each patient. Treating the lower face and jawline may require a different plan from treating the full face and neck.
Your consultation includes:
XERF is not designed to change your face overnight. The aim is subtle, natural-looking improvement that develops as your skin rebuilds its own collagen.
Skin may feel tighter, smoother and more supported
Firmness may begin to improve as collagen remodelling becomes more active
More visible improvement in jawline definition, lower-face firmness and neck texture
Continued improvement in elasticity, firmness and overall skin quality
Results vary depending on age, skin condition, lifestyle, degree of laxity and collagen response. Many patients choose maintenance treatments to preserve their results over time.
XERF is based on monopolar radiofrequency, a technology used in aesthetic medicine to create controlled heating within the skin and support collagen remodelling.
A 2024 preclinical study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology evaluated non-invasive monopolar radiofrequency using the XERF system in a porcine model. The study recorded controlled dermal heating at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C, while skin surface temperatures remained within measured safety limits under the study conditions. Histological analysis showed increased collagen density 30 days after treatment.
This supports the biological rationale for controlled radiofrequency heating and collagen remodelling. Individual results vary, and suitability should always be assessed in consultation.
XERF results depend not only on the device, but on the judgement of the person performing the treatment.
At Omniya, your XERF treatment is planned around your anatomy, skin quality and long-term aesthetic goals. We will assess whether XERF is the right option for you, explain what it can realistically achieve, and advise if another treatment would be more appropriate.
Where suitable, XERF may also be combined with other treatments such as injectables, skin boosters, polynucleotides, laser or medical-grade skincare to support a more complete rejuvenation plan.
XERF is designed to improve skin firmness and support by using controlled radiofrequency heating to stimulate collagen remodelling. Suitable patients may notice firmer, smoother and tighter-looking skin over the weeks following treatment.
XERF treatment cost depends on the areas treated and the plan recommended. At Omniya, pricing starts from £2,500 and is confirmed after consultation.
Results typically last around 6-12 months, although this varies depending on age, skin quality, lifestyle, sun exposure and collagen response. Maintenance treatments may be recommended.
XERF and Ultherapy use different technologies. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound, while XERF uses radiofrequency across multiple depths. The right choice depends on your skin, laxity and goals.
XERF is needle-free and non-ablative, while Morpheus8 uses RF microneedling. XERF may be better for comfortable, low-downtime tightening, while Morpheus8 may be preferred for texture, pores, scarring or more intensive remodelling.
Most patients describe XERF as warm and manageable rather than painful. No numbing cream is usually required.
Downtime is minimal. You may notice mild redness, warmth or tightness after treatment, but most patients return to normal activities straight away.
XERF is primarily a skin tightening and collagen-stimulating treatment, not a dedicated fat-reduction treatment. Some patients notice improved definition as the skin firms, but if fat reduction is your main concern, we may recommend another option.
Because radiofrequency does not target pigment in the same way as some lasers, XERF may be suitable for a wide range of skin tones. Your practitioner will assess your skin before treatment and adjust settings accordingly.
Most patients may see improvement after one treatment, while others benefit from a course or maintenance plan. Your practitioner will recommend the right approach after assessing your skin.
No. XERF is often searched for as a “XERF laser”, but it is not a laser. It uses radiofrequency energy rather than light energy to create controlled heating beneath the skin surface and support collagen remodelling.
