XERF Lifting
A non-surgical facelift powered by XERF: radiofrequency energy that lifts, firms, and redefines the jawline, cheeks, and neck by rebuilding collagen deep within the skin. No surgery, no needles, no downtime.
What IsXERF Lifting?
XERF Lifting delivers multifrequency radiofrequency energy to three layers of the skin at once: the dermis, where collagen and elastin are produced; the deeper support layer beneath it; and the SMAS, the structural foundation a surgical facelift repositions. Reaching each depth precisely, XERF prompts your body to contract existing collagen and generate new collagen and elastin, gradually lifting and tightening from the inside out.
What sets XERF apart is how comfortable that structural lift feels. Integrated cooling protects the surface of your skin throughout treatment, so there are no needles, no numbing, and no recovery. Most clients compare it to a warm, relaxing massage and head straight back to their day.
Because the energy is radiofrequency rather than light-based, XERF is also safe and effective for every skin tone. At Marie Jé Aesthetics, it is the flagship of our regenerative approach: your own collagen doing the lifting.

Who Is XERF Lifting For?

XERF is ideal for mild to moderate laxity. The honest answer comes from a consultation: Marie assesses your skin and recommends a personalized plan before any treatment.

Where XERFLifting Works
XERF treats the areas where laxity shows first: the cheeks and midface, the jawline, and the neck. Energy reaches three depths in each zone, from the dermis down to the same structural layer a surgical facelift repositions.

Lifting without surgery shows up gradually, as your own collagen rebuilds. These clients show what that looks like: firmer skin, lifted cheeks, and a cleaner line along the jaw.

It depends on your skin and goals. Many clients do a short series of sessions for the best result, followed by periodic maintenance. Marie recommends a personalized plan during your consultation.
There is no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Some clients notice mild warmth or redness that settles within a few hours.
Because XERF works by rebuilding your own collagen, results appear gradually, typically over two to six months, and continue to improve as new collagen and elastin develop. Questions? Text (408) 800-6938.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is XERF a facelift?
XERF Lifting is a non-surgical facelift. There are no incisions and no anesthesia. Instead, radiofrequency energy tightens and lifts by remodeling collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, including the same structural layer a surgical facelift addresses. It's ideal for mild to moderate laxity.
Does XERF hurt?
No. XERF is known for being one of the most comfortable skin-tightening treatments available. Built-in cooling protects the surface of the skin, so there are no needles and no numbing needed. Most clients describe it as a warm, relaxing sensation.
How many XERF Lifting treatments will I need?
It depends on your skin and goals. Many clients do a short series of sessions for the best result, followed by periodic maintenance. Marie will recommend a personalized plan during your consultation in Sunnyvale.
Is XERF safe for all skin tones?
Yes. XERF's radiofrequency energy is safe and effective across all skin tones, making it a versatile lifting option for a wide range of clients.
How is XERF different from other skin-tightening treatments?
XERF delivers multifrequency radiofrequency energy to three depths at once, including the SMAS, the structural foundation a surgical facelift repositions. Most energy-based treatments stop at the dermis. That structural reach, combined with integrated cooling, is what makes XERF both effective and comfortable. Compare XERF with Profound RF.
