Radiofrequency (RF) technology has long been a cornerstone of non-surgical anti-aging treatments.
Thermage® is a well-established RF system, while XERF represents Cynosure’s latest advancement in RF-based skin tightening.
Although both utilize RF energy, they differ in applicator design, energy delivery, treatment depth, and clinical strategy.
1. Applicator Design & Coverage
Thermage®
- Square-shaped applicator with strong skin contact
- Well-suited for uneven areas such as the forehead and periocular region
- Designed for comprehensive and precise full-face tightening
XERF
- Larger rectangular applicator
- Covers broader areas per treatment pass
- Particularly effective for cheeks, jawline, and neck
- Allows more efficient treatment sessions
2. Energy Technology
Thermage® | Monopolar RF
- Single-frequency RF energy
- Targets the dermal layer
- Induces immediate collagen contraction and long-term regeneration
- Typically performed once per year
XERF | Multi-Mode RF System
- Multiple RF output modes
- Adjustable treatment depth based on skin condition
- More uniform energy distribution with enhanced comfort
- Suitable for both corrective treatment and ongoing maintenance
3. Clinical Focus & Patient Selection
- Thermage® is generally recommended for patients with more advanced skin laxity seeking long-lasting tightening
- XERF is well-suited for early to mid-stage aging and patients prioritizing comfort and natural-looking improvement
In clinical practice, XERF is often used 3–6 months after Thermage to help maintain and prolong results.
