When the skin on the abdomen, upper arms or around the knees begins to lose firmness, exercise and skincare alone can often achieve only limited results. This is because the skin's firmness depends largely on the deeper collagen structures.

With XERF™ Body, BEAUTYCLINIC Zurich targets exactly these deeper tissue layers. Multi-frequency radiofrequency energy gently heats the tissue in a controlled manner, stimulating the body's natural skin-tightening and collagen-producing processes.

For naturally firmer, smoother-looking skin – without surgery.

When the Skin Loses Firmness

Ageing affects more than just the face. As we get older, collagen and elastin production also decreases throughout the body.

This often becomes particularly noticeable on the abdomen, upper arms and around the knees. The skin may appear less firm, more finely creased or begin to sag slightly.

Weight fluctuations and individual skin quality also influence how firm and elastic the skin appears.

XERF™ offers a non-surgical approach. Instead of removing excess skin surgically, it supports and strengthens the existing skin structure from within.

How Does XERF™ Work on the Body?

XERF™ uses multi-frequency radiofrequency energy, combining 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz.

During treatment, controlled heat is delivered to different tissue depths. This thermal stimulation activates the body's natural regenerative processes and supports the production and remodelling of collagen.

This makes XERF™ particularly suitable for body areas where the skin has lost firmness but surgery is either not desired or not necessary based on the individual situation.

The improvements develop gradually. The tissue can become firmer, the skin smoother and the treated body area more toned over time.

XERF™ for the Abdomen

The abdomen is one of the areas where reduced skin elasticity is often most noticeable.

Ageing, weight fluctuations and other factors can cause the skin to lose its firm attachment to the underlying tissue.

XERF™ can be used to improve skin firmness in the abdominal area while stimulating the body's natural collagen remodelling processes.

It is important to have realistic expectations: XERF™ is not a weight-loss treatment and cannot replace an abdominoplasty in cases of significant excess skin.

However, for mild to moderate skin laxity, radiofrequency treatment can be an attractive non-surgical option.

XERF™ for Firmer Upper Arms

The inner upper arms are particularly prone to loss of skin firmness.

Even physically active people may notice that the skin in this area becomes softer or less firm with age.

XERF™ gently heats the tissue and stimulates the body's natural collagen production.

The goal is firmer, smoother-looking skin on the upper arms without surgical lifting and the scars associated with surgery.

XERF™ for the Skin Around the Knees

A relatively small area that can have a surprisingly significant impact on the overall appearance of the legs is the skin around the knees.

As skin elasticity decreases, fine wrinkles and small folds of loose skin may develop. These changes often become particularly noticeable when the legs are fully extended.

Targeted radiofrequency treatment with XERF™ can stimulate collagen remodelling in this area, helping the skin appear firmer, smoother and more even.

Who Is XERF™ Body Suitable For?

XERF™ may be an excellent option if you would like to tighten the skin on your body while avoiding surgery.

Common treatment goals include:

  • loss of skin firmness on the abdomen
  • soft or less firm upper arms
  • loose or crepey skin around the knees
  • age-related loss of skin elasticity
  • mild to moderate skin laxity
  • collagen stimulation without surgery
  • minimal downtime after treatment

The individual starting point is always decisive. Not every form of excess skin can be effectively treated with a non-invasive procedure.

Skin Tightening Is Not the Same as Fat Reduction

This distinction is particularly important when treating the body.

XERF™ is primarily designed to improve skin firmness and tissue quality – it is not a weight-loss treatment.

If the main concern is more pronounced fat deposits, significant excess skin or a combination of different factors, another treatment approach may be more appropriate.

At BEAUTYCLINIC, we therefore look beyond the skin's surface. We assess why a particular body area has lost its contour and recommend the treatment that best matches your individual needs.

Depending on the findings, a personalised skin-tightening concept may include treatments such as Endolaser, RF Microneedling, HIFU or collagen stimulators, in addition to XERF™.

However, not every patient requires a combination of treatments.

What to Expect During a XERF™ Body Treatment

Before your first treatment, we examine the desired treatment area and assess your skin quality, elasticity and the degree of skin laxity.

We then determine the treatment area and intensity individually.

During the session, the XERF™ handpiece is moved systematically over the selected area. The radiofrequency energy heats the tissue in a controlled manner, while integrated cooling technology helps maximise treatment comfort.

Anaesthesia is generally not required.

Depending on the size of the treatment area, a session usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes.

Afterwards, you can normally return to your everyday activities immediately.

When Will the Skin Become Firmer?

XERF™ works by stimulating a natural biological process that takes time to develop.

The thermal stimulation initiates regenerative processes that continue over the following weeks. The formation and remodelling of collagen require time.

As a result, the skin may gradually become firmer and smoother, with continued improvements over several weeks to months following treatment.

The extent of the improvement depends on factors such as the treatment area, age, skin quality and the degree of skin laxity.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

The optimal number of treatments cannot be determined in general terms.

For some patients, a single treatment may be sufficient, while others may benefit from a treatment plan involving additional sessions.

At BEAUTYCLINIC, we make this recommendation based on the treatment area, your skin quality and your individual treatment goals.

XERF™ Body Treatments at BEAUTYCLINIC Zurich

Firmer skin does not automatically require surgery. With XERF™, we can target areas where the skin and underlying tissue have lost firmness while stimulating the body's natural collagen production.

Our focus is not on using as many technologies as possible, but on selecting the treatment that is best suited to each individual body area.

FAQs on the topic XERF™ Body

Which body areas can be treated with XERF™?
XERF™ can be used to tighten various areas of the body. It is particularly suitable for areas with reduced skin firmness, such as the abdomen, upper arms and knees. During your consultation, we will determine which areas are most suitable for your individual needs.
Can XERF™ tighten loose skin on the abdomen?
For mild to moderate skin laxity, XERF™ can help improve skin firmness and support collagen remodelling. However, in cases of significant excess skin, a non-surgical treatment cannot replace an abdominoplasty.
Does XERF™ reduce belly fat?
XERF™ is primarily a skin and tissue tightening treatment and is not intended for weight loss. If excess fat is also present, we will assess whether another or a combined treatment approach may be more appropriate.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients mainly experience a sensation of warmth during treatment. Anaesthesia is usually not required, although individual comfort levels may vary.
Do I need to avoid exercise after XERF™?
As there are no incisions or needle injuries, there is generally no significant downtime. We will advise you personally about which activities are appropriate immediately after your treatment.
Can XERF™ be combined with other skin-tightening treatments?
Yes. Depending on your skin quality and treatment goals, procedures such as Endolaser, RF Microneedling, HIFU or collagen stimulators may complement your treatment. Whether a combination offers additional benefits is always assessed individually.

How Much Does a XERF™ Body Treatment Cost?
