XERF Advanced RF Skin Tightening in Ottawa

At Pure Beauty Clinic, we’re proud to introduce XERF™ by Cynosure Lutronic; an advanced radiofrequency treatment that tightens and lifts the skin from within. Discover the next generation of non-surgical skin rejuvenation with XERF™, inspired by the latest innovations from South Korea.

XERF works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen, strengthen connective tissue, and improve skin laxity, delivering natural-looking lift with little to no downtime. XERF™ is a non-invasive dermatological aesthetic treatment indicated for:

Facial lines and wrinkles
Brow lifting
Facial and neck laxity
Skin tightening and firming

BOOK AN CONSULATION

XERF™ is the world’s first multi-frequency monopolar radiofrequency treatment designed to penetrate three skin depths in one session.
Unlike traditional RF treatments that target only one layer, XERF™ delivers controlled energy to:
- The superficial epidermis
- The dermis
- The deeper structural layers
This 3-in-1 approach stimulates collagen remodelling at multiple depths for true structural skin tightening.
As we age, collagen decreases by approximately 1% per year, and elastin fibers weaken. This leads to sagging, thinning skin, and loss of firmness. XERF™ uses two radiofrequencies (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz) to deliver energy deeper into the skin while maintaining optimal heat control. As the skin is gently heated:
- Collagen fibers instantly contract, creating visible tightening
- Fibroblast activity increases
- New collagen production gradually builds over time
This precisely controlled thermal energy:
- Stimulates new collagen formation (neocollagenesis)
- Reinforces the fibro-septal support network
- Improves laxity in the face and neck
- Softens fine lines and wrinkles
- Lifts and defines areas such as the brow and jawline
Because XERF activates your body’s own regenerative response, results continue to develop gradually and look natural, as you are rebuilding your own support structure from within. The result?
- Immediate firmness
- Gradual lifting over 3–6 months
- Improved skin texture and elasticity
- Stronger, tighter, more supported skin from within, and with natural results
Without injectables. Without surgery. Without downtime. Clinical evidence demonstrates thicker collagen bundles and increased elastin production after treatment.
At Pure Beauty Clinic, we are excited to offer the latest in advanced structural RF skin tightening with XERF™. This innovative treatment features Dual-Frequency Technology, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz in a single system to precisely target multiple layers of the skin for optimal lifting and tightening.

Frequently Asked Questions

XERF™ delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, heating multiple tissue layers while protecting the surface with an intelligent cooling system. This controlled heat immediately contracts existing collagen fibers while stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin over the following weeks. As collagen remodels, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more lifted.
XERF™ effectively treats many common signs of aging, including loose or sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles, drooping brows and hooded eyelids, jowls and loss of jawline definition, double chin, loose neck skin (“tech neck”), and mild skin laxity on the arms, abdomen, knees, and other body areas.
XERF™ is highly versatile and can be used on both the face and body. Common treatment areas include the forehead, around the eyes, cheeks, jawline, neck, under the chin, décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, knees, and other areas with mild to moderate skin laxity.
Most healthy adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity are excellent candidates. XERF™ is ideal for patients who want to tighten their skin, improve facial contours, or slow the aging process without surgery. It is also a great preventative treatment for younger patients beginning to notice early collagen loss.
Most patients find XERF™ surprisingly comfortable. During treatment, you’ll feel a deep warming sensation while the built-in cryogen cooling continuously cools the skin’s surface. Unlike many older RF devices, most patients do not require topical numbing cream and can comfortably complete the treatment.
Treatment time depends on the area being treated. A full face typically takes 30–45 minutes, while a face and neck treatment usually takes 45–60 minutes. Larger body areas may require additional time.
No. XERF™ requires virtually no downtime. Most patients experience only mild redness or warmth that resolves within a few hours. You can return to work, wear makeup, and resume most normal daily activities immediately after your appointment.
Many patients notice an immediate tightening effect after treatment due to collagen contraction. However, the most noticeable improvements develop gradually over 4–12 weeks as your body naturally produces new collagen and elastin. Results continue to improve for several months.
Results typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on your age, skin condition, lifestyle, and natural aging process. Many patients choose maintenance treatments once or twice a year to keep their skin firm and youthful.
Many patients achieve beautiful results after just one treatment. However, individuals with more advanced skin laxity may benefit from a series of 2–3 treatments spaced several months apart. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin goals.

Yes. Because XERF™ uses radiofrequency energy rather than light, it is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones. The integrated cooling system and real-time temperature monitoring help maximize safety while delivering consistent results.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary. You may experience mild redness, slight warmth, temporary swelling, and mild tenderness to the treated area. These effects usually resolve within a few hours and rarely interfere with daily activities.
To achieve the best results, avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for one week before treatment, stop using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliating products 3–5 days before your appointment, stay well hydrated, and inform your provider if you’ve recently had Botox®, fillers, laser treatments, or facial surgery.
After treatment, we recommend wearing SPF 30+ sunscreen every day, keeping your skin moisturized and well hydrated, avoiding hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise for 24 hours, avoiding excessive sun exposure for several days, and following any personalized aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
Absolutely. XERF™ works exceptionally well alongside treatments such as Botox®, dermal fillers, CoolPeel®, CO₂ laser resurfacing, microneedling, skin boosters, and medical-grade skincare. Combining treatments often produces more comprehensive facial rejuvenation than any single treatment alone.
XERF™ uses advanced dual-frequency radiofrequency technology that treats multiple tissue depths simultaneously while maintaining patient comfort through intelligent cooling and real-time temperature monitoring. Its larger treatment tip also allows for faster treatment sessions compared to many traditional RF devices. Your provider can help determine which technology is best suited to your individual needs.
XERF™ is an excellent non-surgical option for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity, but it cannot replace the dramatic lifting achieved with a surgical facelift. Instead, XERF™ is ideal for preventing early signs of aging, delaying surgery, or maintaining surgical results.
XERF™ may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, have pacemakers or implanted electronic devices, active skin infections, open wounds, or certain uncontrolled medical conditions. A thorough consultation will determine whether the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
At Pure Beauty Clinic, we believe great results come from more than just advanced technology. Every XERF™ treatment is customized to your unique facial anatomy, skin quality, and long-term aesthetic goals. Our experienced medical aesthetics team combines expert technique with the latest non-surgical technology to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results in a comfortable, luxurious environment.
