Lift, Tighten, and Refresh Your Skin
XERF is a noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment by Cynosure Lutronic that lifts and firms loose skin on the face, jawline, neck, and body by stimulating new collagen. At Inside Out Aesthetics & Wellness in Wesley Chapel, FL, XERF requires no needles, no numbing, and no downtime, and results continue to build over 2 to 3 months.
XERF combines two radiofrequency frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, to gently heat the shallow, middle, and deep layers of the skin in one session. If you are noticing early jowls, a softening jawline, or loose skin on the neck, XERF is a comfortable, lunchtime-friendly option for patients in Wesley Chapel and nearby communities including Land O’ Lakes, Lutz, New Tampa, and Zephyrhills.
Watch how XERF works. XERF is an FDA-cleared radiofrequency device with built-in cryogen cooling and real-time impedance feedback that reads your skin with every pulse, so energy is delivered evenly and comfortably. Most patients describe the treatment as a warm, tolerable sensation and return to normal activities the same day.

How It Works
XERF uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz energy, to heat tissue in the shallow, middle, and deep layers of the skin, reaching down toward the SMAS, the supportive layer that gives the lower face its structure. This controlled heat tightens existing collagen and signals your body to build new collagen and elastin, so skin looks firmer and more lifted over the following weeks.
Two frequencies work together to treat multiple skin depths in a single session for more complete tightening.
Integrated cryogen cooling protects the skin’s surface, keeping treatment comfortable without numbing cream.
The device reads your skin’s impedance with every pulse and adjusts energy for consistent, even results.
Three depth settings and ten intensity levels let your provider tailor each session to your skin and goals.
Most sessions take under an hour, and you can return to work or daily activities right away.
Your provider will customize depth and intensity during your consultation. XERF can also be paired with biostimulators or dermal fillers for complete sagging skin correction.
