Is XERF Laser Painful?

The XERF laser is generally not considered painful and is even described as comfortable. Patients describe the feeling as a gentle warmth or mild snapping. The device’s built-in technology also provides cooling to the treated area, delivering continuous RF energy evenly to heat deeper tissues and prevent overheating. This allows the skin to tighten with minimal downtime. No numbing through anesthesia is needed.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of appointments for the XERF laser varies from person to person. Many patients only require a single session to reach their goals, while others may need 2-4 sessions spaced out over a few weeks. You will be given an accurate timeline of how many appointments you will need during your consultation.

How Long Until I See the Results?

After your first appointment, your skin will be subtly tighter, firmer, and smoother with only slight redness or flushing. Over the next 1-2 months, collagen will continue to develop, and results will become more noticeable. After 3-6 months, the collagen remodeling matures, and your final results will be complete.

Can I Combine XERF Laser with Other Procedures?

Bella Sol Medical Spa offers several other rejuvenating procedures that can be combined with XERF laser, including RF microneedling , injectables , chemical peels , and facials .

XERF Laser Introduction

Get ready to take the next step toward groundbreaking facial skincare with XERF laser treatment. This structural skin-tightening procedure provides a needle-free solution to boost your collagen production with radiofrequency (RF) energy and tighten your skin. Unlike many RF treatments, XERF laser remodels the deep layers of your skin to give you firmer, smoother, younger-looking skin.

The XERF laser was originally introduced in South Korea and is backed by science and created for your comfort, with no downtime and immediate results. With two convenient locations in Chino and Ontario, CA, our team at Bella Sol Medical Spa offers XERF laser treatment throughout the Inland Empire.

What is XERF Laser?

XERF (eXtra Enhanced-Radio Frequency) laser is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses advanced dual-frequency (RF) energy to stimulate significant collagen and elastin production by heating deep skin layers. This process makes the skin firmer, improves jawline and cheek definition, and reduces wrinkles, while simultaneously cooling the face for comfort and quicker recovery compared to older RF devices.

The dual-frequency RF can target multiple skin layers for comprehensive remodeling, including deeper tissues for a lifting effect, by delivering energy at both shallow (2 MHz) and deep (6.78 MHz) frequencies. The skin’s surface is cooled with Integrated Cryogen Delivery (ICD) to prevent burns and discomfort. This allows deeper treatment without numbing. The procedure also provides real-time feedback, as skin impedance is monitored to customize energy depth and intensity for each individual.

What Are the Benefits of XERF Laser?

Individuals in the Inland Empire, either in Chino or Ontario, CA, achieve many benefits for their skin’s appearance after receiving an XERF laser treatment. These benefits include:

Skin tightening: XERF laser makes loose or sagging skin on the face, neck (jawline, jowls, and chin), eyes, décolletage, arms, abdomen, and thighs firmer.
Reduces wrinkles: Softens fine lines, crow’s feet, and nasolabial folds.
Improves texture and tone: Improves and refines rough texture, reduces pore appearance, brightens dull skin, and makes skin tone more even.
Stimulates collagen: Improves long-term skin health and firmness by boosting natural collagen and elastin production.
Stronger structural support: Achieves better support by strengthening the skin’s underlying fibro-septal network.
Non-invasive treatment: No needles, surgery, or downtime needed.
Comfortable: Cooling technology makes treatment significantly more comfortable.

Who Are the Best Candidates for XERF Laser?

The best candidates for the XERF laser in Chino and Ontario, CA, are individuals who meet a variety of factors, including:

Signs of early to moderate aging include jowls, nasolabial folds, loss of neck and cheek firmness, and an overall lack of skin elasticity.
Want preventative treatment: Younger individuals who take this proactive step sooner rather than later help maintain firm skin before major sagging occurs.
Dislike needles: Injections are not comfortable for everyone.
Desire minimal downtime: This treatment virtually has no recovery time.

XERF Laser First Step

What’s the First Step?

Before jumping into the XERF laser, you must begin with a personalized consultation with one of our highly trained technicians. During your consultation, you will go over your skin goals, medical history, and anatomical concerns, and receive a skin analysis. We encourage you to ask any questions about the procedure and your skin quality, so we are on the same page about whether the XERF laser treatment will benefit you. Once it is determined that this treatment is right for you, we’ll create a custom treatment plan, including frequency and intensity, and schedule you for a procedure appointment.

What to Expect on the Day of a XERF Laser Treatment

You can expect XERF laser treatment with us to be much easier and more comfortable to manage than many other procedures. XERF laser sessions typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated, and do not require numbing cream. You’ll feel a warm, comfortable sensation as controlled RF energy is delivered to your skin, while advanced cooling technology maintains comfort.

Your skin may look flushed or pink, but you will be able to return to work, exercise, and regular activities the same day.

XERF Laser Recovery

Many people enjoy XERF laser treatment because it requires virtually no downtime. This allows people to return to work, exercise, and everyday activities within the same day with hardly any discomfort. You may feel some slight redness or a warm feeling in the treated area, but this usually fades within a few hours.

After your XERF laser treatment, it’s important to take some steps to ensure a more comfortable recovery, such as staying hydrated, avoiding extreme heat in saunas or tanning beds, using gentle skincare, and skipping strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
