XERF Skin Tightening in Franklin, TN
Firmer-looking skin. A treatment plan built around you.

Firmer-Looking Skin, Personalized to You
Changes in skin firmness can happen gradually. You may notice that your skin feels less resilient or that your facial contours look softer than they once did.
At Franklin Skin Studio, XERF offers a nonsurgical approach to improving the appearance of skin laxity. This radiofrequency treatment supports collagen remodeling beneath the skin’s surface, helping skin look firmer over time without needles.
At Franklin Skin Studio, we treat the face, neck, chest, abdomen, legs, knees, and arms with XERF. Your treatment plan is tailored to the areas where you want tighter, firmer-looking skin. You can book treatment directly; for body areas, we recommend a consultation first.
How It Works
XERF uses controlled radiofrequency energy to heat tissue beneath the skin’s surface. This process encourages collagen remodeling, helping improve skin firmness and support.
The device combines two frequencies of radiofrequency energy with adjustable depth settings so treatment can be tailored to different tissue depths. Integrated cooling helps manage the skin’s surface temperature.
Unlike microneedling, XERF delivers energy through a handpiece placed against your skin without creating needle punctures.


What to Expect
Plan for an appointment of approximately 45 minutes. Before treatment, we will review your health history, assess your skin, and confirm whether XERF is appropriate for your goals. Share any recent cosmetic treatments and ask questions about your plan.
During your session, the handpiece delivers controlled pulses of energy. You may feel warmth or a deeper heating sensation. XERF is designed to be performed without topical numbing, although comfort levels vary.
Preparing for XERF: Erin recommends focusing on hydration for the three days before your appointment, drinking water regularly and including water with electrolytes if appropriate for you. Follow any fluid or electrolyte restrictions recommended by your healthcare provider.
Recovery
XERF generally requires no special aftercare routine, and most people can return to their usual daily activities after treatment. Follow any personalized instructions provided at your appointment.
Temporary redness or mild swelling can occur. We will explain what to expect and when to contact us with any concerns.
Feel and See the Difference
Skin firmness: Address the appearance of skin that has become less firm with age.
Facial definition: Improve the appearance of laxity that contributes to softer facial contours.
Overall smoothness: Support gradual improvements in the appearance of facial lines and skin quality.
Results typically begin to become noticeable about one month after treatment, with fuller results around three months as collagen and elastin remodeling takes time. Individual results vary. XERF is intended to improve skin firmness; it is not a fat-reduction or weight-loss treatment.
