As we age, collagen production gradually declines, leading to skin laxity, softer facial contours and the appearance of fine lines.
XERF is a non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) treatment that delivers controlled thermal energy into different layers of the skin to support collagen remodelling and skin tightening. The treatment is designed to address concerns such as mild skin laxity, loss of jawline definition, and age-related changes in facial contours.
At Private Space Aesthetics and Wellness, XERF is offered as part of our personalised approach to facial rejuvenation, helping patients achieve a refreshed appearance without surgery or significant downtime.
XERF is a monopolar radiofrequency treatment that combines two RF frequencies within a single treatment session.
The system delivers thermal energy into multiple tissue depths while incorporating cooling technology to enhance comfort during treatment.
The treatment is designed to:
Because XERF is non-invasive, there are no surgical incisions and most patients can return to their usual activities shortly after treatment.
Radiofrequency energy generates controlled heat within the skin.
When delivered at appropriate temperatures, this heat can stimulate biological processes involved in collagen remodelling. Over time, this may contribute to improvements in skin firmness and elasticity.
Unlike treatments that focus on only one tissue depth, XERF is designed to deliver energy at multiple levels of the skin and underlying soft tissue.Â
XERF allows practitioners to select different treatment depths according to the treatment area and individual concerns.
These treatment depths may be used to address:
Treatment parameters are customised after medical assessment and may vary between individuals.
XERF may be suitable for individuals concerned about:
As collagen declines with age, the skin may lose firmness and elasticity. Radiofrequency treatments are commonly used to support collagen remodelling and improve skin tightness.
Patients who notice early jowling or reduced jawline definition may benefit from non-invasive skin tightening treatments.
For selected patients, treatment of the lower face and submental region may contribute to improved contour definition.
Collagen remodelling may help improve the appearance of fine lines and age-related skin changes.
Patients seeking a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation may consider radiofrequency-based treatments as part of a broader treatment plan.
No surgery, incisions, or stitches are required.
Most patients resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
Different tissue depths can be targeted depending on the treatment area and treatment goals. Â
The device incorporates cooling mechanisms designed to enhance patient comfort during treatment. Â
Treatment may be performed on:
Your treatment journey begins with a consultation with our doctor.
During this consultation, we assess:
A personalised treatment plan will then be recommended.
The XERF handpiece is applied to the skin while controlled RF energy is delivered.
Patients typically describe the treatment as a warming sensation on the skin.
Treatment duration varies depending on the areas treated, but generally takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
Some patients may experience:
These effects are usually temporary.
Individual experiences may vary.
Responses to treatment differ between individuals.
Some patients may notice early changes following treatment, while further improvements may develop gradually as collagen remodelling occurs over the following weeks and months.
As with all aesthetic treatments, outcomes vary according to factors such as age, skin condition and individual biological response.
You may be a suitable candidate if you:
A medical consultation is required to determine suitability.
Different skin tightening technologies work through different mechanisms.
Depending on your concerns, treatment options may include:
During your consultation, our doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your skin condition and aesthetic goals.
Both XERF and Ultraformer MPT are non-surgical aesthetic treatments commonly used to address skin laxity, facial ageing, and contour concerns. While both treatments aim to improve skin firmness and facial definition, they utilise different technologies and may be suitable for different treatment goals.
XERF is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment that delivers controlled thermal energy into multiple layers of the skin and underlying soft tissue. The treatment is designed to support collagen remodelling, improve skin firmness, and enhance facial contour definition.
XERF incorporates dual-frequency radiofrequency technology and multiple treatment depths, allowing treatment parameters to be customised according to different facial regions and concerns.
Ultraformer MPT is a High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) treatment that delivers focused ultrasound energy to selected tissue depths beneath the skin.
The treatment creates thermal coagulation points within targeted tissue layers, stimulating biological processes involved in collagen remodelling and tissue tightening.
Different cartridges can be used to target varying depths according to the treatment area and clinical assessment.
Feature | XERF | Ultraformer MPT |
Technology | Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) | High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) |
Energy Delivery | Volumetric thermal heating | Focused thermal coagulation points |
Treatment Depths | Multiple selectable tissue depths | Multiple cartridge depths |
Main Focus | Skin tightening, skin quality, and contour refinement | Tissue lifting and skin tightening |
Treatment Sensation | Warm sensation with integrated cooling | Intermittent deep heating sensation |
Downtime | Minimal | Minimal |
Treatment Areas | Face, jawline, and neck | Face, jawline, and neck |
Treatment Duration | Approximately 30–60 minutes | Approximately 30–60 minutes |
Not sure whether XERF or Ultraformer MPT is more suitable for your concerns? Our doctor can assess your skin condition, facial structure, and goals before recommending a personalised treatment plan.
XERF may be considered for individuals who are concerned about:
Some patients also prefer the warming sensation associated with radiofrequency-based treatments.
Ultraformer MPT may be considered for individuals who are concerned about:
The suitability of Ultraformer MPT depends on factors such as facial anatomy, skin thickness and the degree of skin laxity.
In selected patients, radiofrequency and ultrasound-based treatments may be incorporated into a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
As the technologies work through different mechanisms, some patients may benefit from a personalised treatment approach that addresses multiple layers of facial ageing.
Treatment recommendations should be based on an individual assessment by a qualified medical practitioner.
There is no single treatment that is suitable for everyone.
The most appropriate treatment depends on factors such as:
Some patients may be more suitable for radiofrequency-based treatments, while others may benefit from ultrasound-based treatments. In certain situations, a combination approach may be recommended.
During your consultation at Private Space Aesthetics and Wellness, our doctor will assess your concerns and recommend a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
At Private Space Aesthetics and Wellness, we believe that aesthetic treatments should be personalised, evidence-informed, and tailored to the individual.
Our approach focuses on:
If you are considering XERF or Ultraformer MPT, schedule a consultation with our doctor to determine which treatment may be suitable for your concerns and goals.
Most patients describe the treatment as warm and tolerable. Cooling technology is incorporated to improve comfort during treatment.Â
Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.
The recommended number of sessions varies according to individual concerns and treatment goals.
Depending on your condition, XERF may be incorporated into a personalised treatment plan alongside other aesthetic procedures. Suitability will be assessed during consultation.
Suitability depends on individual assessment and medical history. A consultation is required before treatment.
