XERF™ Before & After: Skin Tightening Results
See clinical before-and-after examples showing how the appearance of the jawline, lower face and neck can change following XERF™ treatment. Results develop differently for every patient and may continue to evolve over time.
ABOUT THESE RESULTS
Clinical Examples, Clearly Identified
The before-and-after photographs on this page are clinical examples provided by Cynosure and treating medical providers. They are shown to illustrate potential XERF™ treatment outcomes and are not presented as patients treated at Lauren Brickner Esthetics unless specifically identified otherwise.
Individual results vary. Lighting, positioning, treatment timing, skin characteristics, and the treatment plan can all affect how results appear.
01 / FACE + JAWLINE
Early XERF™ Results at 4 Weeks
This clinical example shows the same patient before treatment and four weeks later. Rather than looking for a dramatic transformation, compare the overall facial contour, lower-face definition and the transition into the jawline.
RESULTS, OVER TIME
XERF™ Results Are Designed to Develop Gradually
XERF™ is not a filler and it does not surgically reposition tissue. Radiofrequency energy is used to create controlled heating within targeted tissue levels, with visible improvement developing as the skin responds over time.
Early Changes
Some patients may notice an initial tightening effect after treatment.
Following Weeks
Changes may become more noticeable as the treated tissue continues to respond.
Following Months
Improvement can continue to develop gradually rather than appearing all at once.
Timing varies by patient, treatment area and treatment plan.
02 / LOWER FACE + NECK
After Two XERF™ Treatments
This clinical example focuses on the lower face, under-chin area and neck. When comparing the photographs, look at the overall contour and how the lower face transitions into the neck rather than focusing on a single line or wrinkle.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
How to Read a XERF™ Before & After
Non-surgical skin tightening is generally about refinement rather than a surgical-level transformation. These are the areas worth comparing carefully.
Jawline Definition
Compare how the lower face transitions into the jaw and neck.
Lower-Face Contour
Look at the overall shape of the lower face rather than one isolated line.
Skin Firmness
Notice whether areas that appeared lax look smoother or more supported.
Neck Appearance
Compare visible laxity and the transition between the jawline, under-chin area and neck.
Look closely, not dramatically. Non-surgical skin tightening is intended to create improvement—not make you look like a different person.
03 / CLINICAL EXAMPLE
Another XERF™ Result After Two Treatments
This second two-treatment example shows another individual response to XERF™. Results should always be evaluated in context: anatomy, skin laxity, treatment settings, and individual response can all influence the outcome.
TREATMENT PLAN
How Many XERF™ Treatments May You Need?
XERF™ treatment planning can be individualized. Some patients may notice improvement after one treatment, while an initial series may be recommended depending on the treatment area, skin characteristics and goals.
A staged approach gives your provider an opportunity to evaluate how your skin responds before deciding what, if anything, should be adjusted for a subsequent treatment.
More treatments do not automatically mean better results. Your treatment plan should be based on your individual needs.
REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
What Can Affect Your XERF™ Results?
Before-and-after photographs are useful, but they cannot predict exactly how another person's skin will respond.
Degree of Laxity
Mild, moderate and more advanced laxity do not respond identically.
Treatment Area
Cheeks, jawline, under-chin area and neck can respond differently.
Skin Characteristics
Skin thickness, tissue characteristics, and age can influence the response.
Treatment Plan
Settings, treatment depth, and the number of treatments are individualized.
Individual Response
Collagen remodeling and visible improvement vary from person to person.
Time
Results may continue to develop after the treatment appointment itself.
WHY RESULTS TAKE TIME
Skin Tightening Is a Process, Not an Instant Transformation
XERF™ uses multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency to deliver controlled energy at multiple treatment levels. The visible result is not based on adding volume or surgically repositioning tissue; improvement can develop as treated tissue responds over time.

Before & After Questions
How soon can I see XERF™ results?
Some patients may notice an early tightening effect, while additional improvement can develop over the following weeks and months. Timing varies by individual and treatment plan.
How many XERF™ treatments are needed?
Treatment plans vary. Some patients may see improvement after one treatment, while others may be advised to complete an initial series before moving into maintenance.
Will my XERF™ results look like these photographs?
Not necessarily. Before-and-after photographs show individual clinical examples, not guaranteed outcomes. Your anatomy, skin characteristics, degree of laxity, and treatment plan can all influence your results.
Are these patients from Lauren Brickner Esthetics?
Unless specifically identified otherwise, the clinical photographs on this page were provided by Cynosure and treating medical providers and are not presented as patients treated at Lauren Brickner Esthetics.
What areas can I look at when comparing results?
Depending on the treatment area, useful points of comparison can include jawline definition, lower-face contour, the under-chin area, visible skin laxity and the transition between the lower face and neck.
