Meet XERF: The Exciting New Upgrade to Our Facial Rejuvenation Menu

September 30, 2025

At Desjarlais Dermatology & Aesthetic Center, we’re committed to bringing you the latest, most effective treatments in cosmetic dermatology. That’s why we’re excited to announce the newest upgrade to our patient-favorite Silhouette/IntraGen Facial — the Cynosure/Lutronic XERF system. This cutting-edge technology takes non-surgical facial rejuvenation to the next level with superior precision, comfort, and results.

Why the Upgrade?

The Silhouette/IntraGen Facial has long been a favorite for those looking to lift, tighten, and refine their jawline without surgery. However, technology is always advancing — and we’re always one step ahead in making sure our patients get the very best. The new XERF system combines the science of advanced radiofrequency (RF) energy with enhanced delivery methods, allowing us to:


  • Superior Skin Tightening: A full face tightening treatment while also targeting the sagging skin around the jawline, cheeks, eyes, and under the chin for a firmer, overall lifted facial appearance.
  • Achieve deeper collagen remodeling, reaching the shallow, middle, and deep layers—where real change begins.
  • Treat delicate and smaller areas of the face and neck with greater precision.
  • Customize treatments to meet a wider variety of skin concerns.
  • Continue the treatment as a comfortable option with no needles, no numbing, no downtime.


What is the Cynosure/Lutronic XERF?

The XERF is a state-of-the-art radiofrequency technology designed to stimulate your skin’s natural repair process. By delivering controlled energy to targeted areas, it encourages new collagen and elastin production — the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. The result? Tighter contours, improved skin texture, and a noticeable reduction in fine lines and laxity.


Addressing One of the Top Concerns for Women 30–60

One of the most common concerns we hear from women between the ages of 30 and 60 is the loss of firmness along the jawline, cheeks, and neck. As collagen and elastin naturally decline, skin can begin to sag and lose definition. The XERF upgrade directly targets these areas, tightening skin and lifting contours for a more sculpted, youthful look — all without surgery.


Who is the XERF Upgrade For?

The Cynosure/Lutronic XERF is ideal for women and men who want to:

  • Address early to moderate skin laxity without surgery.
  • Improve fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey texture.
  • Enhance jawline definition and reduce sagging in the lower face.
  • Support skin health and longevity with collagen stimulation.
