Skin Tightening with No Pain, No Numbing, No Needles & No Downtime.
XERF™ uses controlled radiofrequency energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen remodeling and supporting long-term skin tightening. The result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance that looks natural — never overdone.
Ideal for clients seeking visible tightening without needles, surgery, or extended recovery.
What Is XERF™ Skin Tightening?
XERF™ is an advanced radiofrequency skin tightening treatment currently available at only a limited number of providers across Michigan. Brighton Aesthetics is one of the first practices in the state to offer XERF™, making it a unique option for patients seeking non-surgical skin tightening with minimal downtime.
Designed to be comfortable, customizable, and safe for a wide range of skin types, XERF™ requires no numbing, uses no needles, and involves very little downtime. Many clients begin to notice skin tightening over a series of sessions, often within 2–3 treatments.
Because availability is limited statewide, consultations are designed to determine candidacy and create a personalized treatment plan.
How XERF™ Improves Skin Firmness
As we age, collagen production naturally slows, leading to laxity and loss of definition. XERF™ addresses this by:
-
Delivering controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy beneath the skin’s surface
-
Gently heating targeted tissue to encourage collagen contraction and renewal
-
Supporting gradual tightening and improved skin quality over time
This process allows the skin to firm naturally, without disrupting the surface of the skin. No Pain. No Numbing. No Needles. No Downtime.
Why XERF™ Stands Out
-
Non-Invasive & Needle-Free
No injections, no incisions, no downtime.
-
Comfort-Focused Treatment
Designed with advanced cooling and energy control for a more comfortable experience.
-
Natural-Looking Results
Enhances firmness and texture without looking tight or artificial.
-
Minimal Downtime

-
Customizable for Different Areas

Your provider will determine whether XERF™ is appropriate for your specific concerns.
