Discover the Next Generation of Skin Tightening at Rejuvalase Medical Spa, Santa Barbara

At Rejuvalase Medical Spa in Santa Barbara, we’re proud to offer the cutting-edge XERF Structural Skin Tightening treatment, a non-invasive, high-performance modality designed for deep structural tightening of skin, without needles, numbing or downtime. If you’re exploring advanced skin-firming options, here’s why XERF stands out, and why it may be the smarter choice over other popular treatments such as Sofwave and Everesse.

 

What is XERF?

XERF uses state-of-the-art dual-frequency monopolar radio frequency (RF) technology that delivers energy across multiple depths: the superficial dermis, mid-dermis and the deeper structural layers (including the SMAS/fascial plane).

 Key features include:

  • Real-time impedance feedback and adaptive settings, enabling a personalized approach tailored to your unique skin. 
  • Integrated cryogen cooling (ICD) and Wave Fit™ pulse technology to keep the surface comfortable while delivering powerful energy deeper down. 
  • Results you begin to feel immediately, with continued improvement over weeks or months as collagen and elastin regenerate. 
  • Zero to minimal downtime: you can usually resume daily activities immediately afterward. 

In simple terms: this is not just skin-firming, it’s structural support.

 

Why XERF May be Better Than Sofwave

When comparing Sofwave and XERF, the difference lies in the depth and precision of treatment. Sofwave uses ultrasound energy to target the mid-dermis at approximately 1.5 mm, focusing mainly on improving skin texture and achieving a mild lift. It’s known for its minimal downtime and favorable safety profile, but has a bad reputation when it comes to pain. 

XERF, on the other hand, delivers dual-frequency monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy that reaches multiple depths, superficial, mid, and deep layers, including the structural dermis. This allows for more comprehensive collagen remodeling and structural tightening. Thanks to its advanced cooling system and adaptive feedback technology, XERF remains comfortable for most patients while delivering deeper, more noticeable lifting and firming results compared to Sofwave.

 

Why XERF May be Better Than Everesse

While Everesse is a newer monopolar RF device designed to improve comfort and precision compared to legacy systems, featuring continuous water cooling, a 6.78 MHz monopolar RF platform, and multiple treatment tips for face and body, XERF offers several distinct advantages.

 XERF uses dual-frequency energy (6.78 MHz + 2 MHz), allowing it to treat both the dermal and deeper structural layers, whereas Everesse operates on a single 6.78 MHz frequency. Additionally, XERF provides adjustable depth settings (shallow, mid, deep) and real-time impedance monitoring for truly personalized treatment, while Everesse primarily emphasizes comfort and cooling. XERF’s technology and clinical approach also target structural tightening, including the fascial (SMAS) layers, achieving results closer to a “mini facelift” without surgery. 

For clients seeking advanced lifting and firming, not just surface-level dermal tightening, XERF may be the superior choice at Rejuvalase.

 

Why Choose Rejuvalase Medical Spa in Santa Barbara for XERF

At Rejuvalase, we combine the most advanced technology with the highest standards of care:

  • Board-certified facial plastic surgeon oversight, Dr. Gregory Keller, and experienced registered nurses ensure treatments are safe, tailored, and effective.

Is XERF Right for You?

XERF is ideal for people who:

  • Are noticing loose skin around the jawline, neck, cheeks, or body areas (such as thighs/abdomen) and want non-surgical tightening. 
  • Already use skincare and injectables but now want structure rather than just smoothing. 
  • Prefer treatments with minimal downtime and minimal discomfort yet want meaningful improvement. 
  • Want results that last and continue to improve over time (3-6 months and beyond) as collagen remodels. 

At your consultation, we’ll evaluate factors such as skin laxity, age, previous treatments, lifestyle and goals, to determine the right plan for you.

 

What to Expect During & After Treatment

  • A typical session takes around 30 minutes per area. 
  • Treatment feels warm and comfortable, no numbing required. 
  • Resume most day-to-day activities immediately; maybe light redness for a short time. 
  • You’ll often feel a tighter sensation right away; over the following weeks to months your skin continues to firm, lift and improve as collagen rebuilds. 
  • For most individuals, two treatments are recommended for optimal effect.
