Harrington Plastic Surgery and Medspa Announces an Exciting New Skin-Tightening Solution: XERF
Written by Will Jones
When most people think about where to go for the latest innovations in aesthetic medicine, they imagine making a trip to Miami or Los Angeles. But thanks to the efforts of Dr. Jennifer Harrington of Harrington Plastic Surgery and Medspa, patients in the Twin Cities can access one of the industry’s most exciting new devices: XERF.
XERF is designed to be an improvement on traditional radio frequency treatments. However, there’s no need for numbing, needles, or downtime. Like older forms of radio frequency treatment, XERF heats the skin, but its built-in cooling system helps keep stress and discomfort to a minimum.
XERF emits two different radio frequencies at the same time: 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz. The 6.78 MHz frequency targets layers of skin closer to the surface to minimize wrinkles and fine lines. The 2 MHz frequency reaches into deeper tissues, stimulating collagen production for healthy skin that lasts.
But the most striking part of the XERF system is its ability to automatically tailor the treatment to each individual. Over the course of a treatment, the XERF device isn’t just emitting radio frequencies; it’s also using accurate impedance feedback to analyze the patient’s skin while adjusting output accordingly.
Harrington Plastic Surgery and Medspa is the first practice in Minnesota to obtain the XERF device and start offering treatments. While it’s easy to dismiss new devices like this as gimmicks, Dr. Harrington can personally vouch for the efficacy of XERF.
“XERF is the hottest device in aesthetics right now, and this is because it works,” she says. “I brought it into my practice because it does what no other facial device can do. I have tried it on my staff, and I can see their results. I know our patients will love it.”
Dr. Harrington has also found that patients tend to get even better results when XERF is paired with Alastin Skincare products. These clinical-grade skin-health formulations serve to further stimulate collagen production and support recovery, maximizing each patient’s results.
Who is XERF designed for? Dr. Harrington and her staff consult with patients on an individual basis to help them determine whether XERF is the right treatment for them. Generally speaking, however, it’s most effective for patients struggling with sagging jawlines or deep wrinkles in the lower face and neck.
XERF can offer notable skin tightening after just one or two treatments. It’s a viable alternative for people who want to improve the look of their face and neck without the time, expense, and discomfort of a surgical facelift. However, if a patient has severe skin sagging, Dr. Harrington and her team may recommend a facelift instead.
Throughout her career as a plastic surgeon, Dr. Harrington has made testing new products a priority. For those looking for better skin-tightening solutions, her adoption of XERF is an exciting one.
“I have been vetting and personally trying devices since 2012 to bring the best menu of non-surgical services to our patients,” says Dr. Harrington. “I have never been more excited than I am with XERF.”
