Step into your XERF era at Fab Medical Aesthetics, the only destination in the Raleigh-Triangle area offering this next‑generation, non‑invasive structural skin tightening treatment. XERF RF skin tightening uses advanced dual‑frequency radiofrequency energy to firm loose skin, refine contours, and stimulate deep collagen remodeling without needles, numbing, or downtime.


XERF is a cutting‑edge, non‑invasive monopolar radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to tighten and lift skin by heating supportive tissue layers in a controlled, precise way. By delivering dual RF frequencies (2 MHz and 6.78 MHz), XERF can reach shallow, mid, and deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production where structural support really matters.
At Fab Medical Aesthetics, XERF is ideal if you want firmer, more youthful‑looking skin without surgery, needles, or significant recovery time.
XERF uses a multifrequency monopolar RF system that combines 2 MHz and 6.78 MHz energy to safely heat the deeper skin and connective tissue. This controlled heating triggers collagen remodeling and can even reach down to the SMAS (Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System), a foundational support layer targeted in surgical facelifts.
Key technology features include:
Together, these features support a “Never‑Numb™” experience—no injectable numbing—and a comfortable treatment with consistent, reproducible results.
XERF RF skin tightening is designed for mild to moderate laxity and early contour changes where you want visible tightening without surgery. Common treatment areas include:
By stimulating collagen and elastin deep within the skin, XERF helps create smoother, tighter, and more lifted‑looking skin over a series of treatments.

Fab Medical Aesthetics – Wake Forest & North Raleigh, NC
Fab Medical Aesthetics is proud to be the first in the Raleigh area to offer the XERF treatment. Clients from Wake Forest, North Raleigh, and surrounding communities can experience this next-generation non-surgical facelift option close to home, delivered by medically trained providers focused on safety, natural results, and long-term skin health.
A traditional facelift is a surgical procedure that requires incisions, anesthesia, and significant recovery time. XERF is completely non-surgical and non-invasive, using energy—not incisions—to tighten and lift the skin. It offers subtle, natural-looking rejuvenation for clients in Wake Forest and North Raleigh who want facelift-like benefits without surgery, scars, or extended downtime.
You may be a good candidate for XERF if you:
During your consultation at Fab Medical Aesthetics in Wake Forest, we will evaluate your skin, goals, and medical history to determine whether XERF is the right treatment for you.
Most clients describe XERF as a deep, gentle warming sensation beneath the skin. You may feel brief pulses of heat as the RF energy is delivered, but treatments are generally well tolerated. Many clients relax during their session and are able to return to work or errands immediately afterward.
A typical XERF session takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Because there is minimal downtime, it’s easy to fit your appointment into a busy schedule.
One of the biggest benefits of XERF is the minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness, warmth, or mild swelling right after treatment, but these effects usually resolve quickly. Most clients can apply makeup the same day and resume normal activities immediately.
Some clients notice improvement after a single session, but a series of treatments often provides the most noticeable lifting and tightening. At Fab Medical Aesthetics, your provider will create a customized XERF treatment plan based on your age, skin quality, and goals.
You may see some initial tightening soon after your treatment as existing collagen contracts. The most significant improvements develop gradually over the following weeks and months as your body produces new collagen and elastin. XERF is ideal for clients in Wake Forest and North Raleigh who prefer a progressive, natural-looking enhancement.
Results vary from person to person, but many clients enjoy firmer, more lifted skin for 12–24 months or longer. Healthy lifestyle habits, sun protection, and periodic maintenance treatments at Fab Medical Aesthetics can help prolong and enhance your non-surgical facelift results.
XERF is a non-invasive treatment designed to be safe for a wide range of skin types when performed by trained professionals. At Fab Medical Aesthetics, your safety is a top priority; our medically led team in Wake Forest carefully reviews your medical history, assesses your skin, and uses appropriate settings tailored to you.
Common, temporary side effects can include:
Mild redness
Warmth in the treated area
Slight swelling or tenderness
