XERF now delivers 3x faster treatment cycles, improving device throughput and ROI.
The speed improvement is clinically and economically significant. Faster RF treatments mean higher patient throughput per device per day, which directly improves device ROI and per-minute revenue. For practices evaluating RF platforms against competitors like InMode's Morpheus8 or Cutera's offerings, treatment time is now a material differentiator. The device is already in use at multiple U.S. practices, including Queen City Dermatology in Cincinnati, suggesting Cynosure is building momentum in the aesthetic dermatology channel. Practices considering RF investment should factor in the latest XERF specs when modeling break-even patient volume.
