XERF™ Skin Tightening in Edmonton for a Refined, Natural Lift

A non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to visibly firm, lift, and tighten the skin without needles, numbing cream, or downtime.

What is XERF™?

A smarter approach to non-surgical skin tightening.

XERF™ by Cynosure Lutronic is a next-generation, non-ablative radiofrequency treatment created to improve the skin’s underlying support structure without harming the surface layer.

Unlike traditional single-frequency RF treatments, XERF™ is designed to deliver a multi-depth thermal profile that addresses shallow, middle, and deeper tissue layers for more comprehensive tightening and firming.

The goal is elegant, natural-looking rejuvenation: a firmer jawline, improved skin density, refreshed brows and eyes, and a smoother appearance in areas affected by laxity.

01

Immediate Firming

Controlled heat helps contract existing collagen fibres, creating an early firming effect after treatment.

02

Collagen Remodeling

Over the following weeks, the treatment supports new collagen and elastin production for progressive improvement.

03

Comfort-Focused

Wave Fit™ pulse technology and integrated cooling help create a more comfortable treatment experience.

04

No Downtime

Return to work, errands, and regular activities right after your appointment with minimal interruption.

Treatment Areas

Customized for your anatomy, goals, and skin profile.

XERF™ can be tailored with multiple depth and intensity settings, allowing Encore’s providers to customize the treatment for each area.

Advanced facial contouring

Designed for early jowling, softened facial definition, and skin laxity along the cheeks and lower face.

  • Helps refine a soft jawline and support a more sculpted lower-face appearance.
  • Targets laxity through controlled deep heating without injections or skin punctures.
  • Supports a refreshed look that still appears natural and expressive.

Under-chin and neck tightening

Ideal for clients wanting to improve the look of loose, crepey, or softened skin under the chin and neck.

  • Helps firm the submental area for a cleaner, more defined profile.
  • Targets areas where skin laxity can make the lower face look heavier.
  • Pairs beautifully with a personalized maintenance plan for ongoing skin quality.

Brows, lids, and fine lines

A gentle approach for clients noticing heaviness around the brow, tired-looking eyes, or fine lines.

  • Supports a subtle refreshed look without freezing facial movement.
  • May improve the appearance of skin firmness around delicate upper-face areas.
  • Best planned through consultation to determine suitability and treatment settings.

Targeted body firming

XERF™ can also address body areas affected by aging, weight fluctuations, or post-pregnancy skin laxity.

  • Abdomen: supports tightening of loose or stretched skin across the stomach.
  • Arms and thighs: helps improve the appearance of laxity in delicate skin areas.
  • Upper knees: supports density and firmness where skin texture can become thinner.
Your Appointment

What to expect during XERF™ at Encore.

Treatment is designed to feel warm, controlled, and comfortable, with no needles and no required numbing cream.

Consultation & Mapping

Your provider reviews your concerns, skin profile, treatment goals, and ideal target areas before customizing your plan.

Comfort-Focused Treatment

The XERF™ handpiece glides across the skin while radiofrequency energy and cooling pulses work together for a balanced experience.

Return to Your Day

Most clients can resume regular activities immediately. Mild flushing can occur and typically settles within a few hours.

Before Treatment

Hydration matters.

For radiofrequency treatments, hydrated tissue may support more even energy delivery and a better treatment experience.

  • Drink 2 to 3 litres of water daily for 3 to 4 days before your XERF™ appointment, unless medically restricted.
  • Apply a deeply hydrating face mask the night before your appointment.
  • Avoid aggressive topicals such as retinols, AHAs, or BHAs for 5 to 7 days before and after treatment, unless advised otherwise by your provider.
  • Your provider may recommend a personalized series of treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart based on your goals.
Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Every treatment begins with a consultation so your provider can confirm if XERF™ is the right fit for your skin, goals, and medical history.

XERF™ uses radiofrequency energy, which does not target pigment the same way light-based treatments do. Suitability is still confirmed during consultation based on your skin, health history, and treatment goals.

Some clients notice early firming after treatment, while the most meaningful improvement develops gradually over 6 to 12 weeks as collagen remodeling continues.

There is no expected downtime for most clients. You may notice mild redness or warmth, similar to a healthy flush, which usually resolves within a few hours.

Yes. XERF™ can be part of a broader rejuvenation plan that may include professional skincare, brightening programs, injectables, or other non-invasive treatments depending on your needs.

Many clients benefit from a personalized series. Encore may recommend two treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with maintenance based on your skin quality, goals, and provider assessment.
