Sagging skin: One day, it just seems to appear. But in reality, it doesn’t happen overnight. Many of us spend our early years with cherubic faces, which then start to chisel out in our late teens and early 20s. Eventually, our skin starts to lose collagen — which is the structural framework in our skin that helps keep the complexion firm — in our mid-to-late 20s, with production decreasing by about 1% per year after age 25. This gradual decline isn’t noticeable at first, but by the mid-thirties, wrinkles, sagging, and a loss of firmness can become obvious.
Luckily, there are treatments that can help tighten the skin and reduce signs of aging for a younger-looking appearance, with one of the most intriguing (and effective!) options at the moment being the latest RF device from Cynosure Lutronic.
Experts call it “the next evolution of skin tightening”
According to the brand, Cynosure Lutronic features a first-of-its-kind technology called the XERF system, which is a multifrequency monopolar RF treatment. It combines two radiofrequencies (RF) to deliver energy at multiple tissue depths, from the shallow, middle and deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin prodiuction, and therefore, firm the dermis.
“The XERF system is the next evolution of skin tightening,” says board-certified dermatologist and founder of M Beauty Clinic, Dr. Tess Mauricio. “This structural skin tightening treatment gently remodels the structure of your skin and restores firmness from within.” So, you get all the skin-tightening, collagen-boosting powers of radiofrequency energy without the numbing or needles that are typical with other RF treatments.
It’s customizable for your individual needs
No two people are the same, which is why it’s always important to have a bespoke treatment plan when it comes to aesthetics. The XERF system features three different depth settings and ten intensity levels, so providers can customize the treatment for each person’s unique skin profile, goals and comfort level.
The brand says this system also uses Accurate Impedance Feedback technology for real-time skin analysis, so patients can rest assured they’re receiving safe and effective personalization during treatment.
The benefits are impressive and long-lasting
Unlike other procedures that take a long time and multiple rounds to achieve results, this treatment works rather quickly to deliver improved tightening along the face and neck. The number of sessions needed to achieve optimal results really depends on your individual skin condition and goals, but visible improvements are typically seen after one treatment. “You will immediately feel what patients describe as a tighter feeling in their skin, with additional improvement as collagen continues to rebuild in the weeks and months that follow,” says Dr. Mauricio. “The results continue to enhance over time, giving your skin a tighter appearance.”
Also, the technology includes a unique “spider tip” design that delivers up to 150% more energy with the same number of shots, and it ensures uniform energy delivery. Translation: Expect an effective treatment without a longer appointment time.
There truly is no downtime, and it’s very tolerable
Dr. Mauricio says one of the most notable features of this treatment is the unparalleled patient comfort. The Integrated Cryogen Delivery (ICD) system keeps your skin cool and protected while the Wave Fit™ pulse technology delivers energy evenly. The treatment is so tolerable, in fact, that it doesn’t require topical anesthetics, so your experience is more pleasant and convenient overall.
The bottom line
Ultimately, if you’re looking for a treatment that focuses on structural skin tightening for all skin types and without pesky aftercare or limitations, the XERF treatment from Cynosure Lutronic might be for you. After treatment, you can return to your regular skincare routine, apply makeup, and resume most of your normal daily activities right away. The XERF treatment requires no numbing, no needles and no downtime…just visible, lasting results — what more could you want? Find a provider near you today!
