XERF RF Skin Tightening Treatment – The Pinnacle of advanced radiofrequency skin tightening, is now available at Da Vinci Skin & Aesthetic Clinic Malaysia. XERF combines dual-frequency monopolar RF of 6.78MHz and 2MHz with multi-depth energy to deliver RF energy to target different tissue layers. 

 

XERF is a non-invasive treatment that supports collagen remodelling to improve skin firmness, mild sagging, jowls and jawline definition, with minimal downtime for most patients.

 

Results may last up to 12 months or longer, depending on patient’s goals and skin concern. At Da Vinci Clinic, every XERF treatment in Malaysia is led by LCP-certified doctors and personalised treatment according to patient’s facial structure, skin condition and goals.

What is XERF?

XERF is the latest non-invasive skin-tightening treatment with advanced radiofrequency at Da Vinci Skin & Aesthetic Clinic. This treatment uses dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF) of 6.78MHz and 2MHz to deliver controlled thermal energy across different tissue depths. 

 

This treatment supports collagen contraction and collagen remodelling, helping patient’s skin to achieve firmer, smoother and more defined without needles or surgery. XERF treatment is suitable for patients with concerns, such as:

 

  • Mild Skin Laxity
  • Fine Lines
  • Jowls
  • Lack of Jawline Definition
  • Loose Skin on Face and Neck

 

At Malaysia’s leading skin and aesthetic clinic, each XERF treatment in Malaysia is planned and performed by our LCP-certified doctors through personalised and thorough assessment of patient’s skin condition, facial structure, degree of skin laxity and treatment goals

How Does XERF Work?

XERF delivers monopolar RF energy through the skin, where tissue resistance converts the energy into controlled heat. This create two effects:

  • Existing collagen fibres contract in response to the controlled heating, which produce firming effect

  • Patient’s body natural repair response is stimulated, encouraging new collagen formation and continued collagen remodelling over the following weeks and months.

Unlike conventional RF machines such as Density or Oligio X. XERF offers three adjustable depth settings and ten intensity levels. This allow our doctors to customise the energy delivery for different facial areas and different degrees of skin laxity. 

During XERF treatment, patient may feel a warm sensation on the targeted areas. Hence, XERF has a built-in cooling that helps maintain the skin’s surface temperature. XERF may be performed independently or incorporated into a personalised non-surgical facelifting treatment plan.

What is Ultherapy Prime?

Ultherapy or Ultherapy Prime uses microfocused ultrasound to create targeted heating beneath the skin, stimulating collagen response.

Ultherapy Prime’s defining feature is real-time ultrasound visualisation. With this feature, it helps our aesthetic doctors assess patient’s tissue and energy delivery to deliver optimal results. Treatment planning considers the area being treated and patient’s facial definition.

 

How Ultherapy Prime works?

How Does Ultherapy Prime Works?

Ultherapy Prime is a non-invasive treatment that uses microfocused ultrasound with real-time visualisation to support skin lifting and tightening.

 

Ultherapy delivers focused ultrasound energy beneath the skin’s surface, creating small, controlled points of heat at selected tissue depths. This stimulates the body’s natural repair response, encouraging collagen production and remodelling. The treatment works through three key steps:

Visualising the tissue

Real-time ultrasound imaging allows our LCP-certified doctors to view the tissue beneath the skin, assess its depth and guide treatment placement according to the patient’s anatomy.

Delivering targeted ultrasound energy

Our doctor delivers focused energy to selected tissue layers, including deeper supporting structures where needed. Localised heating triggers a collagen response without resurfacing the skin.

Supporting gradual lifting and tightening

As collagen rebuilds and remodels, improvements in firmness and lifting develop gradually. Results typically becomes noticeable over two to three months, although the improvement area depends on timeline and area of concern. 

What Are the Main Difference Between XERF and Ultherapy Prime?

Da Vinci Skin & Aesthetic Clinic XERF & Ultherapy Prime

Feature XERF Ultherapy Prime
Technology Dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency at 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz. Microfocused ultrasound with real-time visualisation.
Energy Delivery Creates controlled RF heating across tissue within the treatment area. Concentrates ultrasound energy into small treatment points at selected tissue depths.
Treatment Customisation Adjustable depth and intensity settings allow energy delivery to be tailored to the treatment area. Ultrasound imaging helps the doctor assess tissue and guide the selection of treatment depths and energy placement.
Distinctive Feature Built-in cooling helps manage skin surface temperature during treatment. Real-time imaging allows the doctor to view tissue beneath the skin to guide treatment.
Treatment Sensation Warmth, with cooling to support comfort. Sensitivity varies by patient and treatment area. Heat or tingling during energy delivery. Comfort varies by patient and treatment area.
Intended Outcome Supports collagen remodelling to improve skin firmness and tightening. Supports collagen production and remodelling for gradual skin lifting and tightening.
Choosing a Treatment Suitability depends on skin condition, facial anatomy, treatment area and individual goals. Suitability depends on skin condition, facial anatomy, treatment area and individual goals.

XERF and Ultherapy Prime differ mainly in how they deliver energy beneath the skin to produce collagen remodelling.

 

XERF uses dual-frequency radiofrequency with adjustable settings and built-in cooling. While Ultherapy Prime uses microfocused ultrasound guided by real-timing imaging. Both support collagen remodelling for firmer-looking skin, with results developing gradually. 

 

This flexibility allows XERF and Ultherapy Prime to address both visible surface of the skin and deeper tissue contributing to sagging skin and reduced facial definition

Radiofrequency vs Microfocused Ultrasound

During XERF treatment, patients may feel warmth as radiofrequency energy is delivered. Built-in cooling helps manage the skin’s surface temperature and supports comfort throughout the session.

 

With Ultherapy Prime, patients may experience brief sensations of heat or tingling as focused ultrasound energy reaches selected tissue depths. Your doctor will discuss suitable comfort measures before treatment.

After XERF treatment, some patients may experience temporary effects, such as:

  • Mild redness
  • Warm sensation 
  • Slight swelling
  • Temporary tenderness or sensitivity at treatment area

Ultherapy Prime Downtime & Recovery

Ultherapy prime deliver microfocused ultrasound energy beneath the skin without damaging or removing the skin’s surface.

Can XERF Help With Loose Skin After Weight Loss?

After a significant weight loss, whether achieved through lifestyle changes or doctor-supervised treatment such as Mounjaro weight-loss injection in Malaysia. Some patients may noticed loose facial skin, reduced facial volume or less-defined contours. 

XERF helps to improve mild to moderate skin laxity by supporting collagen remodelling and skin tightening. However, it does not replace lost facial volume, remove substantial excess skin or produce further weight loss.
