What Type of Skin Laxity Do You Have?
Sagging Jawline & Jowls
As collagen depletes with age, the jawline loses definition and jowls form along the lower face. (Suggested treatment: XERF.) XERF's deep volumetric RF heating contracts existing collagen fibers and stimulates new collagen production over the following months, restoring a firmer, more sculpted jawline.
Neck Laxity
Loose, crepey skin under the chin and along the neck is one of the earliest visible signs of collagen loss. (Suggested treatment: XERF.) The same deep dermal remodeling firms neck skin without surgery.
Fine Lines & Loss of Firmness
When fine lines come with a general loss of bounce and firmness, the underlying cause is dermal collagen breakdown. (Suggested treatment: XERF; LASEMD where surface texture is the main concern.)
Early Prevention
Collagen loss begins in your 30s, long before sagging is visible. Early non-surgical treatment helps maintain firmness over time. (Suggested treatment: XERF.)
Which Skin Tightening Option Is Right for Me?
| Skin Concern | Option to Consider | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Sagging jawline & jowls | XERF | Deep RF heating contracts and rebuilds dermal collagen |
| Neck laxity | XERF | Firms loose neck skin without surgery |
| Fine lines with mild laxity | XERF or LASEMD | Tightening plus surface renewal |
| Significant laxity wanting dramatic change | Surgical consultation | An honest note: non-surgical options have limits |
XERF for Non-Surgical Lifting & Firming
XERF is a next-generation monopolar radiofrequency system that delivers controlled thermal energy deep into the dermis. This triggers immediate contraction of existing collagen plus long-term remodeling that generates new collagen over the following months. Built-in surface cooling keeps the treatment comfortable, and downtime is minimal.
XERF vs Ultrasound-Based Tightening
Ultrasound-based treatments (such as Ultherapy) focus energy at precise depths below the skin, while XERF's radiofrequency heats a volume of tissue in the dermis. Both are non-surgical options with no incisions; they differ in how energy is delivered and in the treatment experience. Our provider will recommend the approach that best fits your skin, concerns, and goals during consultation.
