Non-surgical skin tightening
XERF Skin Tightening
XERF, the award-winning, non-invasive skin-tightening treatment, is now at LÀVIÉL Clinic. It gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to tighten, lift and firm, with no needles, no incisions and no downtime.
Every XERF treatment starts with a consultation, so we can plan the right areas and number of sessions for you.
Overview
How XERF works
XERF uses two radiofrequency frequencies in one treatment. One reaches deeper into the skin's supporting layers, the other works closer to the surface. Together they warm the tissue in a controlled way, tightening existing collagen and encouraging your skin to build new collagen over the following months.
Built-in cooling protects the surface of the skin throughout, so the treatment feels comfortable and you can go straight back to your day.
What it can help with
- Loose or sagging skin on the face and jawline
- Softening jowls and a less defined jawline
- Crêpey skin on the neck
- Loss of firmness and early laxity
- Lax skin on the body, such as the tummy, arms and knees

FAQs
Your questions answered
What is XERF?
XERF is an award-winning, non-invasive skin-tightening treatment. It uses radiofrequency energy at two frequencies, with built-in cooling, to tighten skin and stimulate new collagen.
Does it hurt?
Most people find it comfortable. You feel warmth on the skin, and the cooling keeps the surface comfortable throughout.
How many sessions will I need?
Many people see results from a single session, and some areas benefit from more. We will recommend a plan at your consultation.
Is there any downtime?
No. You may look a little pink for a few hours, but you can return to work and your normal routine straight away.
How is it different from RF needling?
XERF works without needles and treats skin laxity from the inside. RF needling combines needles with radiofrequency and is better for scarring and texture. We can combine them in a treatment plan.
How much does XERF cost?
The price depends on the areas treated and the number of sessions. We will give you a personalised plan and price at your consultation.
