The Treatment
Meet XERF — next-generation radiofrequency
XERF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen, helping improve firmness, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
No injectables. No needles. No downtime. Smoother, tighter skin from a treatment you can do on a lunch break and walk out of looking lifted.
XERF is the non-invasive tightening choice for clients who want collagen-building results without committing to recovery time — and is celebrity-favored for the same reason: it fits into a real schedule.

How It Works
XERF explained
- 01
Prep
Makeup removed. A thin layer of conductive gel applied so the RF energy transmits evenly.
- 02
Heat
The XERF handpiece glides across the treatment area, delivering controlled RF deep into the skin (40-43°C therapeutic range).
- 03
Stimulate
Immediate collagen contraction produces a visible lift. The skin feels tighter and looks more luminous walking out.
- 04
Build
Over the following weeks, new collagen continues to form in the heated tissue — sustained firmness and improved quality over months.

What Skinsation Clients Say
★★★★★
I tried Skinvive injections at the Los Angeles location and my skin feels insanely smooth and hydrated. Not fake or puffy, just naturally glowy.
★★★★★
Happy with my latest filler results. My lips and cheeks settled perfectly. Farah was my injector. They're located on the third floor. I got lost trying to find them 😭
★★★★★
I can’t recommend Skinsation LA enough. Everyone there is so welcoming and facility is beautiful, modern and feet clean. The injector is an absolute perfectionist, so kind, and gentle. Her eye for symmetry is top notch. Always checking in to make sure I was comfortable. Very little to no bruising. The prices are very fair (almost generous ;). I never felt any extra services were being pushed on me. Will def be back and would recommend Skinsation LA to anyone. 100% Even for just a consultation.
★★★★★
This place is a hidden gem! Wonderful time at this medspa today! I really enjoyed the services and the work on certain areas that’s been bothersome for so long! Repeat customer for sure! Alix stated she’s available Monday through Thursday, so I look forward to my next visit. She was very professional, and she seemed super knowledgeable. Best botox injections compared to many other places I've been!!!!!
★★★★★
As a traveler in LA I found my experience here to be delightful. Skinsation LA is located near the trendy Melrose District and the historic Fairfax District. I've had top notch facials, botox and dermal fillers. The staff provides super care, and the treatments leave your skin glowing. Afterward, you can explore the quirky shops around La Brea or grab coffee at a hidden gem nearby, yum!
★★★★★
What a wonderful day! This medical spa experience was far beyond my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, and they had all of my information (even my Alle) set up and ready to go.

FAQ
XERF Questions
What is XERF?
XERF is a next-generation radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening treatment. Controlled RF energy heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production — improving firmness, elasticity, and skin quality without injectables or downtime.
How is XERF different from Forma or Morpheus8?
All three are RF-based, but they target the skin differently. XERF is non-invasive RF (no needles, no downtime) similar to Forma but with a newer device generation. Morpheus8 combines RF with microneedling for deeper, longer-lasting results — with 2-3 days of recovery. XERF and Forma are the "no-recovery" tier; Morpheus8 is the transformation tier.
Does XERF hurt?
Minimal discomfort. Most clients describe it as a warm, comfortable massage. The handpiece stays in motion to keep the heat within a therapeutic but pleasant range — any sensation is mild and brief.
Is there any downtime?
Zero downtime. You can return to work, exercise, or events the same day. A mild post-treatment flush typically fades within 30-60 minutes.
How many sessions do I need?
Most clients do a series of 2-4 sessions to build collagen, then come back for yearly maintenance to keep the results. A single session gives a noticeable immediate lift; the series is what builds lasting firmness. Your injector will recommend a plan at consult.
Can XERF treat the body, not just the face?
Yes. XERF is used for face, neck, and select body areas — anywhere RF skin tightening is indicated. We discuss treatable areas at consult based on your goals.
How much does XERF cost in Los Angeles?
XERF is $2,200 per session at Skinsation LA. Packages are available for lower per-session pricing — ask us via contact or at your consult, and we'll tailor a plan to the treatment area and number of sessions.
Is XERF safe for all skin tones?
Yes. RF energy targets deeper skin layers without affecting melanin, making it one of the safer non-invasive tightening options for all skin tones — including patients who can't tolerate certain lasers.
