What Makes

XERF™ Different?

Most radiofrequency skin tightening devices operate at a single frequency, targeting only one layer of tissue at a time. XERF is the world's first dual-frequency monopolar RF system, delivering energy at two distinct frequencies to address multiple layers of the skin simultaneously.

At 6.78 MHz, XERF targets the dermis to help tighten and smooth the skin's surface. At 2 MHz, it reaches deeper to the SMAS, the same structural layer addressed during a surgical facelift. Together, these frequencies work in harmony to deliver enhanced lifting, firmness, and skin rejuvenation that single-frequency technologies cannot achieve.

How XERF™ Works
Surface Preparation

No numbing cream or pre-treatment preparation is needed. The handpiece is applied directly to clean, dry skin. A built-in cooling system maintains patient comfort throughout the entire session.

Dual-Frequency Delivery

XERF delivers dual-frequency RF energy (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz) to target all four skin layers simultaneously in a single pass—without changing handpieces or settings.

Real-Time Feedback

XERF’s intelligent system monitors tissue response in real time, automatically adjusting energy delivery for safe, precise, and effective treatment at every depth.

Collagen Cascade

Controlled thermal energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, delivering visible skin tightening after the first session and continued improvement over the next 3–6 months.

What XERF™ Targets?

Skin Laxity & Sagging

Collagen and elastin fibres naturally degrade with age, sun exposure, and weight fluctuation — causing the skin to lose its structural integrity and visibly sag. XERF's thermal energy contracts existing collagen immediately while triggering new collagen synthesis over the following months. The result is a measurable improvement in firmness, contour, and skin density.

Fine Lines & Crepey Texture

Surface-level ageing — the fine lines, crepiness, and textural roughness that accumulate over time — originates in the upper dermis where collagen density has declined. The 6.78 MHz frequency targets precisely this layer, stimulating intense fibroblast activity. Patients typically notice a visible improvement in skin quality, smoothness, and that characteristic lit-from-within glow.

Facial Contouring
& Jowls

Jowl formation, loss of jawline definition, and mid-face descent are structural problems caused by laxity at the SMAS level. Traditionally, only surgical intervention could address this layer. The 2 MHz frequency penetrates to the SMAS, delivering targeted thermal energy that tightens this structural foundation — lifting and recontouring from within, without incisions or recovery.

The Expertise Behind Every XERF™ Result

Dr. John Laura

Cosmetic Dermatology & Regenerative Medicine

Dr. John Laura is Orange County's most decorated specialist at the intersection of medical aesthetics and regenerative science. Having trained at UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara, he began his career as a family practitioner before dedicating his practice exclusively to the art and science of anti-ageing medicine.

Among the first physicians in Southern California to integrate XERF into clinical practice, Dr. Laura recognised early that its dual-frequency architecture represented a genuine advancement — not just another iteration of existing RF technology. His precise understanding of facial anatomy and energy-based devices ensures patients receive treatment that is both safe and structurally transformative.

"Every patient is our most important patient. Here, you are a name, not a number."

Dr. John Laura

  • After having three children, the skin on my abdomen and thighs just wasn't bouncing back. Dr. Laura's team designed a plan specifically for my skin and the improvement has been incredible — completely natural-looking, nothing overdone. The whole experience felt personalised from start to finish.
    Rachel B.
    VirtueRF + SkinTyte
  • I was honestly sceptical that anything non-surgical could actually work on deep cellulite. Dr. Laura took the time to explain exactly what was causing my dimples and how each treatment would target it. The results after two sessions have been genuinely remarkable — I wish I hadn't waited so long.
    Melissa T.
    Multi-Modal Cellulite Treatment
  • I've tried every cellulite cream and gadget on the market for years. Nothing came close to what Dr. Laura's treatment did. After my Avéli session and two rounds of VirtueRF, the dimples on my outer thighs are almost completely gone. I finally feel confident in a swimsuit again.

  • The state-of-the-art facility and Dr. Laura’s expertise are immediately apparent. I drove from Irvine for every session and would do it again in a heartbeat. The tightening results on my jawline are incredible.

  • After years of trying different treatments for my acne scars, RF microneedling with Dr. Laura is the only thing that’s actually worked. My skin looks better at 42 than it did at 32. The team here is world-class.
