XERF™ Skin Tightening for Face & Body in Canoga Park, CA

XERF uses advanced multi-frequency radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of skin, where collagen and elastin are produced. That heat stimulates your body's natural collagen remodeling process, so skin gradually firms and tightens over the weeks following treatment, not all at once.

Most patients describe XERF as comfortable rather than painful, thanks to the device's built-in cooling technology, which runs alongside the radiofrequency energy throughout the session. Sensation varies person to person, but sessions typically run 30 to 60 minutes with no numbing required beforehand.

Little to none. Most patients return to normal activities, including work, workouts, and errands, immediately after their XERF session, since the treatment uses no incisions and carries no mandatory recovery period, unlike surgical skin-tightening options.

Many patients see excellent results with just one or two XERF sessions, though your provider customizes a plan around your skin and goals. Some patients choose a package of two or three treatments for more pronounced concerns or larger areas.

Collagen remodeling takes time, so results build gradually rather than appearing overnight. Most patients notice continued improvement over the 2 to 6 months following treatment as new collagen develops beneath the skin, with the pace varying by individual.

XERF treats the forehead, brows, cheeks, jawline, jowls, chin, and neck on the face, plus the abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, buttocks, flanks, and back on the body, making it a flexible option for both facial and body laxity.

Not exactly. XERF is a great non-surgical option for mild to moderate skin laxity, not a substitute for surgery in more advanced cases. Dr. Ashley Babayan, DNP, can help determine the right approach during a consultation.

Anyone noticing mild to moderate skin laxity on the face or body who wants firmer, tighter skin without surgery or significant downtime is typically a good fit. A consultation confirms whether XERF matches your goals.

XERF currently starts at $1,750 for a single body area under introductory launch pricing, with Full Face at $1,950 and Face + Neck at $2,350. Package pricing is also available, and these rates are time-limited.

XERF works with your body's own collagen remodeling process instead of surgical incisions, which means little to no downtime but a more gradual result. It is a non-surgical option for mild to moderate laxity, not a full surgical-facelift replacement.

Candidacy is confirmed individually during a consultation, since skin type and tone are part of that evaluation. Ask our team about your specific skin during booking so we can give you a direct, personalized answer.

Preparation steps are confirmed during your consultation and may depend on your skin and treatment plan. In general, arrive with clean skin and let your provider know about any recent treatments, products, or medications beforehand so your session is customized correctly.

Most patients return to normal activities immediately after XERF, with no mandatory downtime built into the treatment. Your provider will share any personalized aftercare guidance specific to your skin and treatment plan before you leave your appointment.
