XERF now 3x faster, improving device throughput and per-patient economics.
XERF uses fractional RF technology to deliver energy at controlled depths, competing in the crowded RF microneedling and monopolar RF space alongside InMode's Morpheus8, Cutera's Cutera Secret RF, and others. The speed gain is clinically meaningful: faster treatment cycles allow practices to increase daily patient volume without extending chair time, directly improving device break-even economics. Practices evaluating RF platforms should factor treatment duration into cost-per-procedure calculations, especially in high-volume settings.

Frequently asked questions
How much faster is Cynosure XERF compared to other RF devices?
Cynosure's XERF has achieved a 3x speed improvement in treatment delivery compared to its previous version. This means practices can complete skin-tightening treatments in significantly less chair time while maintaining the same clinical efficacy for skin laxity improvement.
What is XERF radiofrequency technology and how does it work?
XERF uses fractional RF technology to deliver radiofrequency energy at controlled depths for skin tightening and laxity improvement. It competes directly with devices like Morpheus8 and Cutera Secret RF in the RF microneedling and monopolal RF space.
How does faster RF treatment time affect practice profitability?
Faster treatment cycles directly improve device ROI by allowing practices to increase daily patient volume without extending chair time. When calculating cost-per-procedure, treatment duration is a critical factor—especially in high-volume settings where reduced treatment time accelerates device break-even economics.
What should I consider when comparing RF skin-tightening devices?
Beyond efficacy, factor treatment duration into your cost-per-procedure calculations, as this directly impacts patient throughput and device profitability. The XERF's 3x speed improvement demonstrates how treatment speed is now a key competitive metric alongside clinical results.
Is Cynosure XERF effective for skin tightening?
Yes—the 3x speed improvement was achieved while maintaining efficacy for skin tightening and laxity improvement. The faster delivery doesn't compromise clinical results, making it a practical upgrade for practices already using RF technology.
