Treatment focus
One treatment platform, selected areas across the face and neck.
Choose an area to see the concerns commonly discussed during a XERF assessment.
Fine lines and wrinkles
Shallower treatment settings may be considered for thinner areas and concerns involving fine lines and skin texture.
The areas and settings shown are general examples. A doctor determines whether XERF is suitable and which areas should be treated.
XERF technology
Energy delivery that responds during treatment.
XERF combines adjustable treatment depths with technologies intended to support controlled radiofrequency delivery and patient comfort.
Real-time impedance monitoring
The system monitors skin impedance during treatment to help the doctor adapt energy delivery.
Integrated Cooling Device (ICD)
A cooling pulse follows radiofrequency delivery to protect the skin surface and support comfort before the next pulse.
Dual-frequency RF
Three depths for different tissue layers.
XERF combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz monopolar RF. Shallow, middle and deep modes can be selected according to tissue thickness, facial volume, treatment area and goals.
Upper dermis
May be considered for thinner areas and concerns involving texture or fine lines.
Dermis to superficial fat
May be considered for areas such as the cheeks and neck where moderate firming is the aim.
Deeper support layers
May be considered for lower-face and jowl concerns, with facial volume and tissue thickness taken into account.
Your treatment visit
From assessment to aftercare.
Each stage helps translate your concerns into an appropriate treatment plan and aftercare guidance.
Doctor assessment
The doctor assesses your concern, skin condition, facial structure and relevant medical history, then discusses whether XERF is suitable.
Area-by-area plan
Treatment areas, depths and intensity are selected. A single session, short course or another approach may be discussed.
Controlled RF treatment
Energy is delivered in pulses while impedance monitoring and integrated cooling support controlled delivery and comfort.
Aftercare
Normal activity can often resume immediately. Temporary redness, swelling or tenderness may occur, and aftercare instructions are provided.
Suitability
Is XERF appropriate for your concern?
The degree and cause of laxity, facial volume, medical history and expected outcome all inform the recommendation. These points are general guidance only.
May be considered
When the concern and expectations align
- Mild to moderate laxity or early jowling
- A preference for a non-surgical option with little recovery time
- Interest in improving firmness, texture or lower-face definition
- Maintenance after a previous energy-based treatment
Requires medical discussion
When XERF may not be appropriate
- Significant sagging that may require a surgical opinion
- Pregnancy or certain implanted electronic devices
- Active infection or inflammation in the treatment area
- An expectation that treatment will replace facial volume or produce a surgical result
Fees: the suitability assessment is S$50 nett. XERF is S$1,988 per session; the final fee may vary by patient according to the assessed areas and treatment plan. Applicable fees are confirmed before treatment.
Treatment planning at SL
Settings selected around the individual.
XERF offers multiple depths and intensity settings. The doctor considers skin thickness, laxity, facial volume, treatment area and goals before recommending how the platform should be used.
Doctor-assessed suitability
If XERF alone is unlikely to address the concern, an alternative or layered plan may be discussed.
Settings selected by area
Shallow, middle or deep modes can be selected for different parts of the face and neck rather than applying one setting throughout.
Multiple lifting approaches
SL’s doctors assess XERF alongside other RF and ultrasound-based options so the recommendation can follow the concern.
More than two decades in practice
SL Aesthetic Clinic has operated in aesthetic medicine for over 20 years. All SL doctors are registered with the Singapore Medical Council.
Comfort considered during planning
Pulse adjustment, impedance monitoring and integrated cooling are considered alongside treatment area and individual tolerance.
Aftercare guidance
Post-treatment guidance includes what to expect and whether future maintenance may be appropriate for your skin and goals.
Frequently asked
The practical details.
Is XERF uncomfortable?
Most people feel repeated warmth. Wave Fit pulse adjustment, real-time impedance monitoring and integrated cooling support controlled delivery and comfort. Topical numbing may be considered where helpful. Experience varies by area and individual.
When do results develop?
Some early tightening may be noticed, while collagen remodelling develops gradually. More meaningful change is commonly discussed over the following two to three months. Results vary.
How long can results last?
SL’s official treatment page describes results as typically lasting around nine to twelve months, with maintenance considered thereafter. Duration varies with age, skin condition, lifestyle and aftercare.
How many sessions are needed?
Some people may be advised a single session; others may benefit from a short course or periodic maintenance. The recommendation follows the doctor’s assessment of laxity and treatment goals.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal. Normal activities and makeup can often resume immediately. Temporary redness, swelling or tenderness may occur.
How much does XERF cost at SL?
The suitability assessment is S$50 nett. XERF is S$1,988 per session; the final fee may vary by patient depending on the assessed areas and treatment plan.
