Vogue Writer Tests Korean Skin-Tightening Treatment Xerf at Treat Medspa

A Vogue beauty writer underwent two sessions of Xerf, a Korean-made dual-frequency skin-tightening treatment, at Treat Medspa beginning in early July. The patented device glides across the skin delivering controlled heat to deeper structures to stimulate collagen production, aiming to improve definition in the jaw, cheekbones, and neck. The writer, age 32, had received Xeomin two months prior, which faded completely by the final treatment. Pre-session, co-founder Sarah Bloch guided the process and an Aura skin analysis provided AI-computed readings. Each hour-long session covered the forehead, eye area, cheekbones, jawline, and neck. The writer reported tolerable discomfort and no downtime, with an immediate lift that faded within a week. A second session followed in early August. One month later, Aura analysis showed wrinkle levels largely unchanged, more balanced skin tone, a 4-degree jawline sharpness difference, and one percent cheekbone lift. Aesthetician Elizabeth Grace Hand, who also administers Xerf, recommends two treatments spaced one to four months apart, with final results developing three to five months after the second, and suggests starting six months before a wedding. Vogue bride Gabrielle Katz used Xerf before her celebration and noticed immediate improvement. Cost ranges from $1,500 to $2,500 per session depending on treated areas, with a minimum of two sessions advised.
