Using dual-frequency radiofrequency and integrated cooling, the system is designed to target tissue for tightening without needles, numbing, or downtime.
Cynosure Lutronic, specializing in energy-based medical aesthetic devices, announced the Health Canada clearance of XERF, a radiofrequency device designed for skin tightening treatments.
XERF tightens skin without the need for numbing, needles, or downtime, according to a release from the company. Key features include:
- Single Shot, Multi-Frequency Monopolar RF Technology: This combines 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies, enabling providers to precisely deliver energy at multiple tissue depths, heating the fibrous septae to generate both immediate and lasting skin tightening results.
- Wave Fit Pulse and Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery Cooling Technology: These technologies are designed to work in tandem to regulate energy delivery and maintain optimal surface temperature to ensure a comfortable treatment without the need for numbing.
- Innovative Spider Pattern Tip: Designed to reduce skin edge effects, this tip ensures a controlled treatment environment, increasing treatment efficacy and patient safety.
“The clearance of XERF in Canada marks an exciting milestone for Cynosure Lutronic as we expand our presence in North America,” says Lowinn Kibbey, president, North America at Cynosure Lutronic, in a release. “As patients continue to seek effective treatments to tighten and revitalize their skin, they often face challenges with discomfort or downtime. With XERF, we are thrilled to offer a solution that delivers exceptional results while providing a more comfortable experience.”
Jordan V. Wang, MD, MBE, MBA, medical director of Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania and medical research director at the office of Roy Geronemus, MD, adds in a release, “As a fellowship-trained cosmetic dermatologist, we prioritize treatments in our clinic that can consistently deliver results with minimal risk and downtime. XERF incorporates the newest technology to safely deliver energy deep into the skin, while offering intelligent cooling for superior protection and patient comfort.”
The radiofrequency device for skin tightening treatments launched in 2024 and is currently sold in Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong. With its Health Canada clearance, Cynosure Lutronic is prioritizing Canada as XERF’s first North American launch market.
