What Is XERF?

XERF is the world's first multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency system — a new class of skin tightening that delivers thermal energy to precisely controlled depths within the skin.

Where traditional RF treatments apply energy at a single frequency, XERF combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz simultaneously — targeting superficial and deep structural layers in one session. An onboard Accurate Impedance Feedback (AIF) system reads your skin in real time, adapting energy delivery pulse by pulse.

Common questions

Asked and answered

Is XERF safe? What are the side effects?

The expected effects are redness and a warm, tight feeling for a few hours, occasionally mild swelling overnight. XERF delivers radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper structural layer while the surface is protected, so there is no wound and no peeling. The risks that matter — burns, uneven heating, treating someone who should not be treated — are operator and assessment risks rather than device risks, which is why the assessment happens before anything is scheduled.

Can XERF be used on the body — stomach, arms, legs, neck?

Ask us at assessment rather than assuming from a web page. XERF at PH Med is currently protocolled for the face and neck, and the area under consideration has to be assessed on its own terms — skin thickness, laxity pattern and what is realistically achievable differ enormously between the jawline and the abdomen. If body treatment is what you are after, say so when you book and you will get a straight answer about whether it is appropriate before you commit to anything.

How much does XERF cost in Houston?

XERF at PH Med is $1,500 per session. The full protocol is two sessions of 900 pulses each — 1,800 pulses total — and your course is confirmed at assessment and quoted before anything is scheduled. Be careful comparing prices without comparing pulse counts; a cheaper session delivering a third of the energy is not the same treatment.

How long do XERF results last?

The collagen remodelling XERF triggers builds over roughly three months and the result typically holds for twelve to eighteen months. It does not stop your face ageing — it resets where you are ageing from. Most people who like the result return annually rather than repeating the two-session protocol from scratch.

Is XERF safe if I have rosacea?

Often yes, but it depends on whether the rosacea is currently active. Radiofrequency heats the deeper layer rather than the surface, which makes it gentler on reactive skin than most resurfacing options, but treating during a flare is a poor idea. This is exactly the kind of thing settled at assessment rather than in advance.
