XERF is a skin tightening treatment that uses radiofrequency energy at two frequencies to heat several layers of the skin at once, encouraging new collagen so the face, jawline and neck look firmer and more lifted. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC), XERF is offered at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches, performed by our aesthetic doctors. A face session takes about 45 to 60 minutes, and you can go back to your day straight afterwards.
XERF is a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) device that delivers two frequencies, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz, in a single pulse. Different frequencies travel to different depths, so one treatment can reach the upper skin layers, which affect texture and fine lines, and the deeper supporting layers, which affect sagging along the jaw and under the chin. Your doctor can adjust depth and energy for each area.
The heat makes existing collagen fibres contract and signals the skin to build new collagen and elastin over the following weeks, so skin looks firmer and the lower face more defined. XERF spreads its energy across a series of gentle pulses and cools the skin surface with every pulse, which is why most people describe it as warm rather than painful.

I came to clinic on a recommendation to see Dr. Iman for the XERF treatment, and I’m so happy with my experience! The doctor was lovely, and I’m really pleased with the results. The clinic is also absolutely beautiful, with such a welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Dr. Iman, and the whole team! Definitely recommend!Google review · 7DMC Jumeirah
I finally tried XERF today. My skin feels firmer, and my face looks fresher and slightly more lifted. Nothing dramatic just a natural, healthy looking result. It was a really comfortable experience, and I’m looking forward to seeing the final outcome.Google review · 7DMC Al Barsha
I’ve been trying the XERF treatment and just had my second session. A special thank you to Jodie who is so professional, attentive and lovely I really like how comfortable the procedure is and I’m already noticing a nice lifting effect. The results look great so far. She makes the whole experience even more comfortable and enjoyable. Everyone is so friendly and the reception team is lovely. The clinic itself is beautiful and has such a different vibe from the usual clinics. Everything feels fresh and modern and I’m really happy with the experience!Google review · 7DMC Jumeirah

Some people see a tightening effect soon after the session, and the skin keeps firming over the next 2 to 3 months as new collagen forms. Results vary from person to person, depending on your age, skin and the degree of laxity, and skin continues to age, so your doctor will advise on maintenance.
One of our patients who had XERF wrote that she was "really pleased with the results".
XERF is a non-invasive medical treatment. Common effects are temporary redness, warmth and mild swelling. Uncommon effects include tenderness, small blisters or temporary changes in skin colour. Rare risks with radiofrequency include burns and loss of fat in the treated area. These risks are reduced by correct settings, temperature monitoring and a trained doctor, which is why XERF at 7DMC is doctor-led.
The cost of XERF skin tightening in Dubai usually ranges from AED 4,500 to AED 8,000 for the face, depending on the areas treated, the number of sessions in your plan and the clinic. Typical ranges: XERF face, AED 4,500 to AED 8,000; XERF face and neck, AED 8,000 to AED 12,000. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
XERF is a skin tightening treatment that uses monopolar radiofrequency at two frequencies to heat several layers of skin at once, which stimulates collagen and firms the face, jawline and neck over the following months.
Many people have one session and a review, and some benefit from a short course. Your doctor recommends a plan at your consultation.
Most people describe XERF as warm. The energy is spread across gentle pulses and the skin is cooled with every pulse, so numbing cream is not usually needed.
Some people see firmer skin soon after the session. Collagen keeps building over 2 to 3 months, when the result is usually judged.
Both use radiofrequency. Morpheus8 delivers it through microneedles into the skin, which suits texture and scarring but needs numbing and a few days of recovery. XERF delivers it from the surface at two frequencies with built-in cooling.
Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to heat deep points under the skin. XERF uses radiofrequency to heat several layers more evenly, with cooling built in. Your doctor can explain which approach suits your skin.
Yes. XERF can also be used on the tummy, arms and legs to firm crepey skin.
