XERF – What Newark, Delaware Patients Should Know Before Choosing a Skin Tightening Treatment
If you’ve been researching non-surgical skin tightening, you may have started seeing a newer name come up: XERF. As a Newark, Delaware medical spa committed to offering safe, effective, and results-driven treatments, we believe it’s important to give you honest, transparent guidance before you invest in any procedure. Our provider, Loraine Savarese, RN, has had over 23 years of experience with skin tightening including technologies like Thermage, Exilis Ultra, radiofrequency with microneedling and Sofwave. She has years of experience helping patients achieve their goals of skin tightening and looking refreshed without surgery.
Let’s break down what XERF is, how it compares to more established treatments like Sofwave, and what we currently recommend for our patients.
What is XERF?
XERF is a newer radiofrequency-based technology designed to tighten skin by delivering heat at multiple depths. The goal is to stimulate collagen and improve skin laxity, particularly in areas like the jawline, cheeks, and neck.
On paper, the technology is promising. It focuses on structural tightening and aims to reach deeper layers of the skin compared to older radiofrequency devices. However, while the science behind radiofrequency is well established, XERF itself is still very new to the market.
Why reviews and real-world results matter
When evaluating any aesthetic treatment, one of the most important factors is real patient feedback over time.
At this stage, XERF does not yet have:
-
A large volume of long-term patient reviews
-
Consistent before-and-after results across different skin types
-
Established treatment protocols backed by years of clinical use
This doesn’t mean the treatment won’t be effective, but it does mean there is limited data to confidently predict outcomes. In aesthetics, consistency and predictability are everything. “You have to wait and see when a new technology comes out. Let more patients have XERF performed and get a sense from your fellow providers if those patients are happy. Having just reached out to a provider, the consensus from them was to wait to invest in this treatment at this time,” states Loraine.
At Charmed Medispa, we prioritize treatments that we know deliver reliable, repeatable results for our patients.
A more proven alternative: Sofwave at Charmed Medispa
Sofwave is one of the most trusted and well-reviewed non-surgical skin tightening treatments currently available. It uses ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen at a precise depth within the skin. Our providers have been using Sofwave for over 2.5 years and the patients are happy! That is essential!
What makes Sofwave stand out:
-
Strong patient satisfaction and consistent reviews
-
Typically only 2 – 3 treatments which are easy to do.
-
No downtime – apply makeup that day.
-
Noticeable improvement in skin laxity, fine lines, and overall lift
Sofwave has been widely adopted and has built a solid reputation for delivering natural, refreshed results. Patients often see improvement in the neck, jawline, acne scars, and overall skin firmness without the need for injections and bruising.
Why we currently recommend Sofwave in Newark, Delaware
While we stay up to date on new technologies like XERF, our priority is always your outcome. Right now, Sofwave offers a level of consistency, safety, and proven results that newer devices simply haven’t matched yet.
For patients in Newark, Delaware looking for:
-
Skin tightening
-
A more lifted, refreshed appearance
-
No downtime with reliable results
Sofwave remains our top recommendation.
Our approach to new technology
We are always evaluating and researching new treatments to bring the best options to our patients. As more data, reviews, and long-term outcomes become available for XERF, we will continue to reassess its place in our practice.
