Why Choose Dr. Cohen for XERF
How XERF Works
XERF, made by Cynosure Lutronic, is a monopolar radiofrequency treatment used for non-surgical skin tightening on the face and neck. It runs two frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, and the depth settings are shallow, middle, and deep. Heat prompts the body to build new collagen, so results develop gradually over the following months.
The XERF device is intended for use in dermatologic and general surgical procedures for electrocoagulation and hemostasis. All instances of the term "skin tightening" are used to describe tightening effects that occur via soft tissue coagulation.

From Consult to Recovery
- 01
Consultation. Your goals, treatment areas, and health history are reviewed. Preparation usually means limiting sun exposure and pausing retinoids and exfoliants for several days beforehand.
- 02
Treatment. A thin layer of gel goes on the skin, and the handpiece works across each area in sequence. Sessions take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
- 03
Recovery and retreatment. Mild redness or swelling can follow, and how long it lasts varies. Follow the written aftercare instructions you are given. Dr. Cohen typically recommends a minimum of two sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
Who XERF Helps Most
