Not at all. XERF™ is engineered for luxury and comfort. Its proprietary Never-Numb™ technology delivers deep structural heat alongside continuous, soothing bursts of cooling. Most of our Dubai clients describe the sensation as a deep, relaxing warmth, similar to a hot stone massage, with no needles or anesthetics required.

You will likely notice an immediate, radiant glow and subtle firming immediately post-treatment. However, the profound structural transformation occurs over the next 2 to 6 months as your skin generates fresh, healthy collagen. Because XERF™ alters the skin at a foundational level, these deeply rooted results typically last 12 to 24 months, easily maintained with a quick, annual bespoke session.

Because of its powerful dual-frequency technology that targets three depths of tissue at once, many patients achieve their aesthetic goals in just one to three sessions. During your private consultation at My London Skin Clinic, our aesthetic experts will design a tailored treatment protocol to match your exact standards and timeline.

XERF is widely considered an excellent investment for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation. It successfully targets skin laxity, softens fine lines, and restores facial contours by prompting your body’s innate collagen and elastin generation, all without the need for invasive surgery or recovery time.

In the UAE, standard radiofrequency procedures typically run between 1,299 AED and 2,999 AED. Because XERF utilizes premium monopolar RF technology, its pricing reflects its advanced capabilities and superior results. At My London Skin Clinic, our XERF sessions are thoughtfully priced at 2,500 AED for the neck, 5,500 AED for the face, and 8,000 AED for a comprehensive face and neck treatment.

The revitalizing effects of XERF generally endure for 12 to 18 months, with some of our patients experiencing sustained firmness for up to two years. The exact duration depends on your individual skin condition, baseline collagen levels, age, and daily lifestyle choices.

Both platforms utilize powerful monopolar radiofrequency to firm the skin, but their energy delivery methods differ. XERF employs a dual-frequency approach (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz), allowing our practitioners unparalleled flexibility to target both superficial and deeper dermal layers simultaneously. Thermage, on the other hand, relies on a proprietary energy delivery system with real-time feedback and established depth protocols, usually performed as a single annual session. XERF is often preferred for its highly customizable depth targeting and personalized approach.

The ideal option relies entirely on your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic desires. HIFU utilizes rapid, deep ultrasound energy that can inadvertently diminish facial fat over time, which might benefit those looking for subtle slimming along with a lift. XERF, however, uses a slower, highly controlled heating method that carries a much lower risk of fat loss. This makes XERF the superior choice for preserving your natural facial volume while achieving significant skin tightening.

The exact number of pulses, or shots, depends on the size of the treatment area and the severity of skin laxity.

• Minor touch-ups may only need around 300 shots.

• A standard full-face rejuvenation generally requires between 450 and 600 shots.

• A complete transformation encompassing both the face and neck can utilize up to 1,200 shots.

XERF is celebrated for its exceptionally comfortable, virtually painless delivery. The device features an intelligent temperature control system and integrated cryogen cooling, ensuring a soothing experience that eliminates the need for numbing cream. Patients typically only perceive a pleasant warming sensation and light pressure.

XERF is a highly adaptable technology. It can be performed as one extensive, high-impact session or broken down into a short series of lower-intensity treatments depending on your comfort and goals. During your initial consultation, our UK Trained Doctors will meticulously evaluate your skin and craft a bespoke treatment protocol tailored perfectly to your specific needs.

Because this is a heat-based therapy, you may notice some mild, temporary reactions post-treatment. These can include transient redness, a feeling of warmth, slight tenderness, minor swelling, or a sensation of tightness across the treated zones. Occasionally, patients also experience brief periods of mild dryness as the skin heals and regenerates.

Severe complications are exceedingly rare, but as with any energy-based aesthetic procedure, there are minimal risks such as blistering, superficial burns, bruising, pigmentation alterations, or prolonged sensitivity. Your safety is our ultimate priority at My London Skin Clinic; our expert therapists possess a decade of dedicated experience with RF devices, ensuring precise, safe, and flawless execution of your treatment.

No, XERF is specifically designed to tighten the dermal layers while leaving your underlying facial fat intact. Its gradual and precisely controlled heating profile presents a vastly lower risk of fat depletion when compared to older or alternative technologies, guaranteeing a plump, youthful, and natural appearance.

Post-procedure care is straightforward but crucial for optimal healing and results.

• Avoid direct sun exposure, intentional tanning, and extreme heat environments like saunas for a few days.

• Refrain from aggressively rubbing or massaging the treated skin.

• Pause the application of strong active ingredients like retinoids, harsh exfoliants, and potent acids until cleared by your practitioner.

• Prioritize gentle hydration and protect your skin daily with a high-quality, broad-spectrum SPF.
