The next evolution in skincare is here with XERF structural skin tightening. This non-invasive treatment delivers all the skin tightening, collagen-boosting power of radiofrequency, with no numbing, needles, or downtime. Just visible results, backed by science and designed for comfort.
Unlike conventional RF treatments, the XERF treatment delivers energy deeper into the skin—reaching the shallow, middle, and deep layers—where real change begins.
Energy reaches the fat and fascia layers in the skin, helping not only with fine wrinkles but also with nasolabial folds and jawline definition.
La Vitalité Med Spa is a leading provider of XERF in Toronto.
Benefits
Welcome to XERF™ Structural Skin Tightening
The XERF treatment adapts to each patient’s unique skin profile using Accurate Impedance Feedback for real-time analysis of the skin. With three depth settings and ten intensity levels, a XERF treatment is a truly personalized experience tailored just for you.
The best part? No more painful procedures. No more recovery time. With minimal discomfort, the XERF treatment makes skin rejuvenation a seamless part of any skincare routine. You can maintain vibrant, youthful-looking skin with no numbing, needles, or downtime.
Dual Frequencies for Multi-Depth Tightening
The XERF system offers the world’s first multi frequency monopolar RF treatment. By combining both 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies, XERF can deliver energy not just deeper, but exactly where you need it most, creating smoother and tighter skin.
The 2 MHz frequency reaches deeper layers to lift and tighten, while the 6.78 MHz frequency heats the superficial layers to improve surface laxity. Together, they tighten the entire face and stimulate collagen production at multiple depths.

Unmatched Comfort, Visible Results
Earlier monopolar RF treatments often meant sacrificing comfort for results. XERF provides effective thermal energy while keeping treatments remarkably gentle.
Unlike conventional radiofrequency treatments, XERF is comfortable and well-tolerated. During the treatment, you will only feel a gentle warmth, allowing you to relax throughout the entire procedure.
State-of-the-art cooling for safe, comfortable treatments
XERF tips are equipped with an innovative pattern that delivers heat evenly to deep areas and a system that thoroughly cools the heat during treatment.
Thanks to XERF’s excellent cooling system, heat can be delivered deep into the target area without causing discomfort.
Key Differences – XERF™ vs Thermage
Both XERF and Thermage are non-invasive, require no downtime, and deliver natural-looking skin tightening. XERF offers a more comfortable and efficient experience, while Thermage is a trusted standard with a long history of proven results. Your choice may depend on comfort, skin type, and personal preference.
