XERF is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle radiofrequency energy to warm the deeper layers of your skin. That warmth encourages your skin to respond naturally – supporting collagen and helping the treated area feel and look firmer over time.
There is no cutting, no needles and no lasers involved. You simply feel warmth and light pressure as the handpiece moves across your skin, with cooling built in to keep the treatment comfortable.
It is not a substitute for a facelift and it will not remove large amounts of excess skin or fat on its own. Think of it as gentle, supportive care for skin that has started to feel a little looser than it used to – not a dramatic transformation, but a natural refresh.
Many patients come to us with one of these concerns:
That’s completely normal – most patients aren’t sure at first. Send a few clear photos on WhatsApp and we can help you understand whether XERF, or something else, may suit you better.
Ask Us on WhatsAppYour skin isn’t the same everywhere on your body, so your treatment plan won’t be either. Here are the areas we treat most often.
Before anything happens, Dr. Efem or the clinical team will look at your skin, ask about your goals and explain honestly whether XERF is a good fit.
The treatment area is cleansed and your session is mapped out zone by zone.
You’ll feel warmth, gentle pressure and cooling as the handpiece moves over your skin. Most patients find it relaxing rather than uncomfortable.
There is usually no need to plan around downtime. Some people notice a little warmth or redness that settles quickly.
Honestly – sometimes yes, sometimes no. If your main concern is mild to moderate skin looseness, XERF alone can be a great fit. But skin ageing rarely involves just one thing. If you also have volume loss, deeper sagging or a stubborn area of fullness, we may suggest pairing XERF with another treatment such as Ultherapy, Endolift or Morpheus8.
We won’t recommend adding treatments you don’t need. Our approach is to solve your actual concern, not to sell you more.
Send us a few clear photos and tell us a bit about what’s bothering you. We’ll be honest about whether XERF is likely to help.
Send Your Photos on WhatsAppThere isn’t one price that fits everyone – the cost depends on the size of the area, how many zones you want treated, and whether you need one session or a short series. We’ll give you a clear, personal quote after your consultation, with no surprises.
Many international patients find that treatment in Istanbul is more accessible compared with equivalent care in the UK, Europe or the Gulf – though we’d always encourage you to choose based on the doctor and the plan, not the price alone.
If you’re coming from abroad, we make the process as simple as possible. Send your photos and goals on WhatsApp before you book flights, and our team will help you plan your consultation, treatment and stay.
Efem Clinic is in Levent, easily reached from Etiler, Beşiktaş and central Istanbul. Because downtime is usually minimal, many patients combine treatment with a short city visit – though we’ll always let you know if extra time should be planned in.
Your privacy matters to us. Our villa-style clinic offers a quiet, discreet setting with a garden and private parking.

Dr. Abdurrahman Efem is a medical aesthetic physician and a ministry-appointed trainer in medical aesthetics, with hands-on experience across Ultherapy, Endolift, Morpheus8 and radiofrequency-based treatments like XERF.
Every plan starts with one question: what does your skin actually need? Not which device is newest. Settings, areas and any combination treatment are chosen around your anatomy – with the goal of a natural, balanced result you’ll feel comfortable with.
Meet Dr. Efem View Before & After GalleryMost patients feel warmth and light pressure, not pain. Cooling is used throughout to keep you comfortable, and we’ll always check in with you during the session.
Most people go straight back to their normal routine. Some mild redness or warmth can occur but usually settles quickly.
Some people notice an early sense of tightness, but the more meaningful change builds gradually over the following weeks as your skin responds.
It depends on your skin and your goals. We’ll recommend a realistic plan after seeing your photos or examining you in person – not a fixed package for everyone.
No. XERF is a non-surgical treatment and won’t replace surgery if you have significant loose skin. It works best for mild to moderate laxity.
It may help support skin firmness under the chin, but if fat is your main concern, we may suggest Endolift instead or alongside it. We’ll be honest about which is the better fit.
When performed with proper assessment and the right patient selection, XERF is considered a safe non-invasive option. We’ll review your medical history carefully beforehand.
Yes, in many cases. We often pair XERF with Ultherapy, Endolift or Morpheus8 depending on what your skin needs – but only when there’s a genuine reason to.
Many international patients do exactly that. Send us your details before booking flights and we’ll help you plan a realistic, comfortable trip.
