XERF Skin Tightening
Non-Invasive RF Skin Tightening in North West London
If your skin is beginning to lose firmness or you're noticing early signs of sagging, wrinkles or reduced definition, it may be time to stimulate collagen at a deeper level. XERF is an advanced, non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to tighten the skin, improve elasticity and restore a firmer, more youthful appearance, without needles, surgery or downtime.
At our Hampstead clinic, we are proud to be one of the first in the UK to offer XERF. This next-generation radiofrequency technology is ideal for patients seeking noticeable skin tightening without the recovery associated with more invasive procedures. Whether your concern is loose skin around the jawline, fine lines, loss of facial definition or crepey skin on the neck, XERF works beneath the surface to stimulate long-term collagen remodelling.
What is XERF and how does it work?
XERF is an advanced monopolar radiofrequency treatment that delivers controlled thermal energy into the deeper layers of the skin while protecting the surface. The carefully controlled heat stimulates your body's natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to strengthen the skin's internal support structure and improve firmness over time.
Unlike treatments that rely on needles or surface injury, XERF works entirely through precisely delivered radiofrequency energy, making it a comfortable, non-invasive option with little to no downtime.
Its intelligent temperature monitoring and uniform energy delivery allow treatment to be tailored to each patient's skin, ensuring safe, consistent results across the face and body.
Who is XERF for?
XERF is ideal for anyone looking to:
Tighten mild to moderate skin laxity
Improve fine lines and wrinkles
Lift the lower face and jawline
Improve skin elasticity
Treat crepey skin on the face, neck or décolletage
Maintain younger-looking skin by stimulating collagen production
Enhance skin quality without surgery or injectables
The treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and is particularly popular with patients looking for natural rejuvenation without changing their facial expressions or adding volume.
What to expect from your treatment
Before your treatment, we'll carry out a thorough consultation to assess your skin, discuss your concerns, and determine whether XERF is the most suitable treatment for your goals. Every treatment is tailored to your individual skin and desired outcome.
During your appointment, the XERF handpiece is gently moved across the treatment area while delivering precisely controlled radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. Most patients describe the treatment as a comfortable warming sensation, while the integrated cooling technology helps protect the skin surface and maximise comfort throughout.
Treatment typically takes 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Afterwards, you may experience mild redness or warmth, but this usually settles within a few hours. Most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately, making XERF an ideal treatment for those looking for effective skin tightening with little to no downtime.
Results develop gradually as your skin produces new collagen and elastin, with improvements in firmness, elasticity and definition becoming more noticeable over the following 8 to 12 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Although both treatments use radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen, they work in different ways. Secret RF combines radiofrequency with microneedling to improve skin texture, acne scars and skin remodelling. While Secret RF and XERF target collagen stimulation within the dermis, XERF targets dermal collagen structures deeper in the skin known as the SMAS layer, which results in more profound lifting and skin tightening.
Most patients find XERF very comfortable. The treatment creates a warming sensation as radiofrequency energy is delivered beneath the skin, while integrated cooling technology helps protect the skin surface and enhance comfort.
Some patients notice an improvement in skin tightness shortly after treatment, while collagen production continues over the following weeks. Results typically continue to improve for up to three months.
Results vary depending on your skin and lifestyle, but improvements can last for many months. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to support ongoing collagen production and maintain skin firmness.
There is little to no downtime following XERF. Mild redness may occur immediately after treatment but usually settles within a few hours, allowing most patients to return to their normal routine straight away.
Yes. XERF can be incorporated into a personalised treatment plan alongside other regenerative treatments and medical-grade skincare to further improve skin quality. During your consultation, we will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your individual concerns.
