Recovery and Results
You do not need recovery time. Because the cooling gas protects your outer skin, the surface remains undamaged, letting you return to your routine immediately.
You may notice an initial tightening effect on the day of your treatment as your existing collagen fibers contract. Your skin will continue to firm and smooth over the following weeks. You will see the final results after three to six months as your body builds new collagen and remodels its elastin network.
We recommend a series of one to two sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Each session builds on the previous treatment. You can schedule annual maintenance sessions to preserve your results.
Your results will last 12 months or longer. Your age, sun exposure, and skincare habits will influence how long the improvements last.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
You will start with a consultation where we examine your skin, discuss your goals, and design a treatment map for your target areas.
During the session, your provider moves the XERF handpiece across your skin. The integrated cooling system sprays cryogen gas to keep your skin surface comfortable. You do not need topical numbing creams or the 45-minute wait required by older radiofrequency devices.
You will feel a sensation similar to a warm massage. A facial treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes, while combining the face and neck requires 45 to 60 minutes. Body treatments vary depending on the size of the area.
After your session, your skin may look slightly pink or feel warm. This resolves within a few hours. You can apply your usual skincare products, wear makeup, exercise, and return to your daily activities immediately.
