Forget the "Spicy" Facelift: Why We’re Swiping Right on XERF Over Ultherapy
If you’ve been scrolling through aesthetic TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen people chasing that "snatched" jawline. For a long time, Ultherapy was the only big name in the game for non-surgical lifting. But let’s be real: it has a reputation for being... well, pretty painful.
Enter XERF. It’s the new kid on the block that’s making the "no pain, no gain" approach to beauty feel seriously outdated. If you’re trying to decide between the two, here is why XERF is currently winning the popularity contest.
The Vibe Check: Comfort is King
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room, Ultherapy hurts. Most people describe it as a series of tiny, hot electric zaps hitting the bone. You usually need heavy-duty numbing cream and a lot of deep breathing to get through it.
XERF is a total 180. It uses something called Dual-Frequency RF with cryogen, but all you need to know is that it feels like a warm, relaxing facial. Because it has a built-in cooling system (it literally sprays a chilly mist to protect your skin), there’s no "ouch" factor. You can actually scroll on your phone or chat with your provider while getting snatched.
Instant Gratification (Yes, Please!)
With Ultherapy, you’re playing the long game. You leave the office looking exactly the same and have to wait 3 to 6 months for the collagen to actually show up to the party.
XERF gives you that "just-walked-off-a-runway" glow immediately. * The Quick Fix: The heat makes your current collagen fibers shrink and tighten on the spot.
The Long Game: It still triggers that deep collagen growth over the next few months.
The Result: You walk out looking lifted and refreshed, not red and puffy.
More Than Just a Lift
Ultherapy is a bit of a one-trick pony—it’s great for deep lifting, but it doesn't do much for the surface of your skin.
XERF is a multitasker. Because it uses two different frequencies at once, it hits the deep layers to lift your jowls and the surface layers to smooth out fine lines and pores. It’s basically a lift and a filter in one treatment.

Ultherapy had a good run, but if you can get better results, better skin texture, and a way more comfortable experience with XERF, why wouldn't you? It’s the smarter, chiller way to keep everything heading North. Contact us today to book!
