GANGNAM SEOYON XERF

XERF

Multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency that lifts and tightens at depth.

"

Building firmness from within.

"Tightening only the surface produces a result that fades quickly. XERF delivers thermal energy deep into the dermis and the subcutaneous tissue, building firmness from the layers that aging hollowed out."

— Dr. Choi Dong-Il, Director

ABOUT

What Is XERF?

Multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency that lifts and tightens in a single treatment.

Dual-Frequency Energy in a Three-Stage Delivery

XERF combines two radiofrequency wavelengths — 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz — and delivers their energy in three controlled stages, reaching deeper layers of skin than conventional RF lifting devices.

The treatment refines the deep cheek, nasolabial fold, and jawline while restoring firmness in the underlying collagen, producing both lifting and tightening effects in the same session.

※ The result depends on the operator as much as the device. Anatomy-based precision is what makes the difference.

CONCEPT · CARE

Worried about pain?

XERF's ICD Cooling — an integrated real-time skin cooling system — regulates the surface temperature throughout the treatment, keeping discomfort to a minimum. Anesthesia is optional, the treatment is quick, and most patients return to daily activity right away — same-day makeup is generally fine, and no formal recovery period is needed.

RF treatments are painful? NO!
Long recovery? NO!
Same device, same result? NO!
ICD Cooling — Integrated Real-Time Cooling

Real-time skin temperature control significantly reduces discomfort, eliminating the need for anesthesia and shortening the procedure.

Anatomy-Based Precision

The treatment is planned around the underlying facial anatomy, building firmness without hollowing out the cheek.

METHOD

Two Frequencies, Targeted at Different Depths

Conventional 6.78 MHz RF reaches mostly the dermis. XERF adds 2 MHz to extend the target to the subcutaneous tissue, 5–10 mm beneath the surface.

DUAL FREQUENCY

6.78 MHz + 2 MHz Combined

Energy reaching the subcutaneous fat layer triggers adipocyte breakdown and septal contraction.

Thermal energy reaching the subcutaneous fat layer triggers adipocyte breakdown and contraction of the fibrous septae, producing both tightening and a visible lifting effect.

EFFECTORS

Four Tip Sizes for Different Anatomy

The treatment surface is 50% larger than conventional designs, so the same shot count delivers more total energy to the skin.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does XERF differ from other RF lifting devices?
XERF combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz radiofrequencies to target the dermis and subcutaneous tissue at the same time. Conventional RF systems work mostly at the dermal level, while XERF reaches 5–10 mm deep into the subcutaneous fat.
How does XERF differ from Ulthera or Shurink?
Ulthera and Shurink are HIFU-based ultrasound treatments. XERF is monopolar radiofrequency. The right choice depends on skin thickness, treatment area, and the clinical goal.
How painful is the treatment?
XERF's ICD Cooling — its integrated real-time skin cooling — regulates the surface temperature throughout the treatment, keeping discomfort to a minimum. Anesthesia is optional and not required.
When can I return to daily activity?
Most patients return to daily activity right away. Same-day makeup is generally fine, and no formal recovery period is required.
How long does the result last?
Results vary by patient. Firmness typically holds for six months to a year as collagen continues to remodel. Treatment frequency and area also influence longevity.
Important Information Possible side effects include transient swelling and redness. Individual results vary. Please consult thoroughly with your provider to determine the right diagnosis and treatment.
