XERF 600 Shots: A Summary of Before-and-After Differences and Price Ranges

Hello, I’m Director Park of Lilive Clinic, where we aim to provide pain-free procedures.

When you feel that your facial elasticity is not what it used to be,

XERF is a method that may provide natural-looking lifting through a non-incisional, non-surgical procedure.

Is XERF 600 shots really effective?

As interest in and popularity of XERF have grown, inquiries about whether to receive 300 or 600 shots and how many sessions are needed have increased considerably.

Today, I will provide a professional overview of the changes before and after treatment with 600 shots, as well as the price range.

What is XERF lifting?

XERF is a radiofrequency lifting device jointly developed by Cynosure and Lutronic in the United States.

Unlike conventional RF (radiofrequency) lifting, it uses a dual-monopolar radiofrequency system that can reach the SMAS (superficial musculoaponeurotic system) layer.

● Key technologies

① Uses dual frequencies of 6.78 MHz + 2 MHz

② Maximizes collagen production by extending the duration of heat energy retention (Wave Fit Pulse™)

③ Three-level depth adjustment → precise targeting from the dermal layer to the fascial layer

④ Spider-pattern energy delivery → protects the epidermis and promotes deeper lifting

● Main effects

① Helps increase skin elasticity by inducing the regeneration of collagen and elastin in the dermal layer

② Helps refine facial contours and improve the appearance of the jawline, area beneath the chin, and sagging cheeks

③ Applies heat stimulation to fine lines around the eyes, nasolabial folds, and corners of the mouth to improve skin texture and fine lines

④ Increases elasticity in the double-chin and submental areas

⑤ The regeneration process in the dermal layer may also be accompanied by pore reduction and a more radiant complexion

While Thermage delivers energy using a frequency of 6.78 MHz,

XERF uses two different frequencies, giving it the advantage of covering and treating a wider range.

To summarize XERF in one sentence:

It is a high-safety lifting procedure that tightens the face and improves elasticity through collagen rearrangement and production.

What difference can 600 shots of XERF make?

For the average adult woman, 600 shots can sufficiently cover the entire face, including the forehead, eye area, cheeks, jawline, and area beneath the chin.

▷ Before treatment

• The jawline has lost definition, making the face look blunt and rounded.

• Nasolabial folds around the mouth and fine lines around the eyes appear more pronounced.

• Reduced skin elasticity causes skincare products to pill or makeup to adhere less effectively.

▷ After treatment (approximately 2 to 4 weeks later)

• As the jawline is naturally refined, the V-shaped contour becomes more defined.

• Improved elasticity around the nasolabial folds and beneath the chin softens a wrinkled appearance.

• You can experience both smoother skin texture and a lifting effect.

• The collagen remodeling effect begins to appear in earnest approximately 2 to 4 weeks later.

In other words, XERF works through a process in which an immediate tightening effect occurs alongside lifting that becomes firmer and healthier-looking over time,

and because discomfort is minimal, the procedure may also be suitable for people with sensitive skin.

The price range is only an approximation,

and may vary depending on an individual’s skin condition, treatment areas, number of shots, and mode configuration.

At Lilive Clinic, XERF procedures are performed with the configuration shown in the table below.

XERF 600-shot price

The most affordable clinics may charge around KRW 1.4 million, while the average is around KRW 2 million, and prices in the Cheongdam area can reach up to KRW 3 million.

Price is an important factor when choosing a clinic, but I believe it is advisable to take your time, carefully examine how much experience the clinic has and what efforts it makes to ensure patient satisfaction, and then make your decision.

This applies not only to XERF 600 shots but to all lifting procedures:

rather than receiving “lifting in which the machine is simply operated according to the number of shots,”

it is necessary to perform the procedure based on anatomical analysis according to the facial structure → setting the targets for heat delivery → adjusting the modes → and considering discomfort.

After conducting a detailed assessment of your skin condition, we design a customized lifting plan (the design is truly important) and are always thinking about how to help you achieve the best possible results.
