XERF in Miami: Korea’s Breakthrough Non-Surgical Facelift Alternative at DRIP Health and MedSpa
XERF has rapidly become one of South Korea’s most trusted non-surgical lifting technologies, known for its ability to tighten, lift, and contour the face and neck by engaging the deeper structural layers responsible for youthful support. Patients love it because it delivers a natural, lifted appearance without surgery, anesthesia, or downtime.
Now available in the United States, XERF represents a new category of structural skin tightening. It is the world’s first dual-frequency monopolar RF device engineered to remodel the dermis, subdermis, and SMAS in a single treatment.
We are the first provider in Miami Lakes and one of the first in all of Miami to introduce XERF, providing our patients with early, first-to-market access to Korea’s most advanced structural tightening technology.
What Is XERF?
XERF is a next-generation, dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device engineered to tighten and strengthen the deeper structural layers that shape the face, jawline, and neck. Unlike traditional skin-tightening treatments that primarily heat the superficial dermis, XERF targets three critical tissue planes: the dermis (for collagen and elastin stimulation), the subdermis (for improved internal support), and the SMAS, the same foundational layer addressed in a surgical facelift. This multi-level engagement is what allows XERF to produce a more lifted, sculpted, and youthful appearance without surgery or downtime.
Developed by Cynosure, a global leader in medical aesthetic technology, XERF represents one of the first RF devices capable of delivering structural skin tightening rather than superficial heat alone. It is FDA-cleared in the United States for non-invasive soft-tissue coagulation and skin tightening, and has become widely adopted in South Korea for its ability to create natural-looking, long-lasting lift.
How XERF Works: The Science Behind Structural Tightening
Dual-Frequency Precision
XERF uses two frequencies simultaneously: 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz.
- 6.78 MHz creates uniform dermal heating for collagen stimulation
- 2 MHz penetrates deeper to influence supportive tissue and the SMAS
Why SMAS Targeting Matters
The SMAS is the foundational support layer surgeons reposition in a facelift. XERF’s ability to influence this layer non-invasively sets it apart from traditional RF devices.
Collagen Remodeling and Tissue Strengthening
XERF amplifies the skin’s natural repair processes:
- New collagen formation
- Elastin repair
- Fibroseptal strengthening
- Progressive tightening over 3 to 6 months
Comfort and Treatment Experience
Patients feel gentle warmth and tightening, with integrated cooling making sessions highly tolerable. Most do not require numbing, and appointments typically take 30 to 60 minutes.
Why We Chose XERF: A Provider Perspective
Before introducing XERF to our patients, our medical team tested the treatment ourselves. The immediate tightening along the jawline and the progressive firmness in the days that followed stood out to us, effects we simply do not see with standard RF devices. As providers who evaluate facial structure every day, we could feel that XERF was influencing deeper support layers in a meaningful and noticeable way. That firsthand experience is what led us to bring XERF into our practice, making us one of the only sites in South Florida, and the first in Miami Lakes, to offer this next-generation technology to patients across the greater Miami area.
Be one of the first in Miami to experience XERF. As one of the earliest clinics in South Florida offering this breakthrough structural tightening technology, we provide exclusive early access to a treatment that is still limited nationwide. Patients seeking a non-surgical lift can now experience Korea’s most advanced RF innovation right here at DRIP Health & MedSpa.
XERF vs Other Skin Tightening Devices
Thermage FLX
Strong dermal tightening but does not engage deeper structural layers. XERF reaches deeper.
Ultherapy
Reaches deeper tissue but often uncomfortable. XERF offers a smoother, more comfortable treatment with broader tissue coverage.
Sofwave
Targets mid-dermal tissue. XERF delivers full-depth remodeling including the SMAS.
Morpheus8
Excellent for texture and surface tightening but requires needles and downtime. XERF is non-invasive and designed for lift instead of resurfacing.
Evidence and Clinical Support
Korean Clinical Use
Clinics report:
- Increased dermal thickness
- Improved jawline definition
- Smoother neck contours
- High patient satisfaction
Biophysical Science
RF energy delivered at XERF’s frequencies is known to:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin
- Activate fibroblasts
- Strengthen connective tissue
- Produce long-term tightening
Safety
XERF is non-invasive with minimal downtime. Mild warmth or redness is the most common post-treatment effect.
Availability in the United States
Still limited to select providers, making early access at DRIP a unique advantage.
How to Prepare for Your XERF Appointment
Proper preparation ensures the safest treatment and the strongest tightening effect. Because XERF uses RF energy to heat water molecules within your tissues, hydration is essential for optimal results.
2 Weeks Before Treatment
- Avoid neuromodulators like Botox for at least two weeks before treatment to ensure tissues respond evenly.
- Avoid dermal fillers
- Avoid chemical peels
- Avoid laser resurfacing
7 Days Before Treatment
- Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids
- Avoid aggressive exfoliation
- Increase water intake
- Avoid tanning or sunburn
48 Hours Before Treatment
- Increase water intake significantly
- Consider an IV hydration therapy session, as optimizing internal hydration can improve how well the tissue responds to radiofrequency energy.
- Avoid alcohol
- Avoid heat exposure
24 Hours Before Treatment
- Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Avoid alcohol
- Avoid NSAIDs unless required
- Avoid heavy skincare products
Day of Treatment
- Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
