XERF radiofrequency skin tightening
How it works?
This is a non-surgical radiofrequency (RF) treatment that delivers controlled energy into the deeper layers of the skin. The gentle heat stimulates your body’s own collagen and tightens the skin’s structural support, helping to firm and lift the face and neck without surgery or incisions.
At SKN MD, radiofrequency skin tightening is tailored to the area being treated — a single zone (upper, mid or lower face), the full face, or the full face and neck. It can also be paired with a collagen biostimulator in our signature Lift protocol for added structural support.
Results build gradually and a short course of sessions may be recommended. Individual results vary. Every treatment begins with a medical consultation, and you may also wish to explore microneedling and biostimulators.

Next steps
1. Consultation
During your consultation at SKN MD, a member of our medical team assesses your skin and discusses your goals to confirm whether radiofrequency skin tightening is suitable for you. There is no obligation to proceed.
2. Treatment
On the day of treatment, the skin is cleansed and radiofrequency energy is delivered across the planned zones. A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort, and most patients tolerate the session well.
3. Results and follow-up
Skin tightening develops gradually over the following weeks as new collagen forms. A short course of sessions may be recommended, and a follow-up is included to review your progress. Individual results vary.
