XERF Skin Tightening in Cresskill, NJ
As we age, skin laxity isn't just a surface issue. The collagen, elastin, and deeper support structures that keep your skin firm gradually weaken, leading to sagging along the jawline, cheeks, neck, and under the chin. XERF is an advanced, non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency to safely deliver controlled heat deep beneath the skin's surface. By stimulating new collagen production and remodeling the deeper connective tissue, XERF helps lift, tighten, and redefine facial contours while preserving your natural appearance.

A Deeper Approach to Skin Tightening
Unlike treatments that only target the surface of the skin, XERF reaches the deeper layers responsible for structural support, providing gradual, natural-looking improvement with little to no downtime.
At GLOW by Elena Reitman MD, every XERF treatment is customized to your skin type, degree of laxity, and aesthetic goals. Dr. Elena Reitman carefully adjusts the depth and energy delivered to create results that are both effective and natural. Whether you're noticing early signs of aging or looking for a non-surgical alternative to a facelift, XERF offers a comfortable treatment that restores firmness and improves skin quality over time.
What Is XERF?
XERF is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency energy to firm and lift loose skin without surgery, needles, or extended recovery.
Developed in South Korea, XERF delivers energy at two frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, so the provider can reach the superficial, mid, and deep layers of the skin in a single session. The higher frequency addresses surface laxity, while the lower frequency travels to the deeper fascial layer that gives the face its structure.
That depth is what separates XERF from older radiofrequency devices. By heating the same fascial layer, often called the SMAS, that a surgeon repositions during a facelift, XERF tightens the skin and its underlying support at the same time. The result is a structural lift rather than surface-only smoothing.
Results build gradually. Some tightening is visible soon after the first session as existing collagen contracts, and firmer, lifted skin continues to develop over 4 to 12 weeks as the body produces new collagen and elastin. Dr. Reitman usually plans two XERF sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart at GLOW.

Physician-Led Care at GLOW

Areas Treated with XERF
Face and Jawline
Softening cheeks and a blurred jawline respond well to XERF as the deeper tissue firms and lifts. Dr. Reitman targets the structural layer where the face has lost definition, sharpening contours without surgery.
Neck and Under-Chin
The neck thins and loosens faster than the face, producing horizontal lines and vertical banding. GLOW calibrates XERF for the delicate skin of the neck and under-chin to restore a smoother, tighter profile.
Body: Abdomen, Arms, and Thighs
Loose skin on the abdomen, upper arms, and thighs, often after weight loss or pregnancy, benefits from XERF's deeper heating across broader areas. Dr. Reitman tailors the depth and intensity to each region.
Eyes, Mouth, and Décolletage
Crepey skin around the eyes and mouth and creping across the chest improve as XERF stimulates new collagen in these thinner, more reactive areas. Treatment intensity is dialed down to protect sensitive skin.
Common Questions About XERF
Does XERF hurt? +
Most patients at GLOW describe XERF as a warm, comfortable sensation. Integrated cooling and real-time temperature monitoring let Dr. Reitman deliver effective heat while keeping the treatment tolerable, with no numbing required for most patients.
How many XERF sessions will I need? +
Dr. Reitman typically recommends two XERF sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Patients with more advanced laxity may benefit from a third session. Your plan is confirmed during your consultation at GLOW.
When will I see results from XERF? +
Some tightening is visible shortly after the first session as existing collagen contracts. The most noticeable firming develops over 4 to 12 weeks as new collagen and elastin form and remodel.
Is there any downtime after XERF? +
XERF requires little to no downtime. Patients may notice mild warmth, redness, or slight swelling at the treatment site, which usually resolves within a few hours. Most return to normal activities the same day.
How is XERF different from other radiofrequency treatments? +
XERF uses two monopolar radiofrequencies at once, allowing Dr. Reitman to treat several depths in the same session and to reach the deeper fascial layer that older single-frequency devices cannot. That depth is what gives XERF its structural, lifting effect.
Who is a good candidate for XERF? +
Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, or body who want firmer skin without surgery are strong candidates. Because XERF uses radiofrequency rather than light, it is safe for all skin tones. Dr. Reitman evaluates skin quality and goals at GLOW to confirm fit.
