Cynosure Lutronic’s XERF™ Accelerates Rapid Adoption Across North America, Emerging as a Leading Monopolar RF Platform

XERF™ surpasses 2,000 global installations in under two years, reflecting accelerated provider adoption for structural skin tightening solutions.

WESTFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cynosure Lutronic's XERF^™, the world’s first multifrequency monopolar RF device for non-invasive structural skin tightening, has surpassed 2,000+ installed units worldwide less than two years after launching in Korea in May 2024 and in North America in June 2025.

The rapid momentum reflects a broader shift in aesthetics, as both providers and consumers increasingly prioritize non-invasive treatments that offer a comfortable experience with visible, lasting results with no downtime. XERF has quickly emerged as one of the most talked-about technologies in the category, generating significant buzz across medical aesthetic providers, and celebrity beauty circles as high-profile talent and tastemakers increasingly turn to next-generation skin tightening.

“The pace of XERF’s adoption has exceeded our expectations and speaks to the strong enthusiasm we’re seeing from providers and patients alike,” said Chris Aronson, North American President. “Surpassing this milestone reinforces the growing demand for structural skin tightening treatments and the important role XERF is playing in advancing the category.”

XERF's momentum extends beyond the treatment room, earning growing industry recognition, media visibility, and celebrity interest. In 2026, the platform earned awards from SHAPE and NewBeauty and was featured in leading outlets including Oprah Daily, The Hollywood Reporter, The Wall Street Journal, WWD, TODAY, Allure, ELLE, The Cut, and Forbes. As conversations around preventative aesthetics and non-invasive skin tightening continue to accelerate, XERF is an increasingly prominent part of the cultural conversation shaping the future of beauty and aging.

In the United States, XERF has consistently led Google search interest among monopolar RF devices, reflecting rapidly growing consumer awareness and demand for advanced multi-depth, non-invasive skin tightening treatments with no downtime. Across North America, XERF has built a visible market presence in key markets, including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New Jersey, San Francisco, Toronto, and Vancouver. XERF is the world's first skin tightening treatment to use two radiofrequency (RF) frequencies at once, reaching not just the surface of the skin, but the deeper layers where real, lasting change happens — including the connective tissue responsible for keeping skin firm and supported.

One of XERF’s biggest differentiators is how precisely and comfortably it delivers treatment. Its proprietary Wave Fit™ pulse technology, delivered through a patented Spider Pattern tip, adapts to your skin for precise energy distribution while the built-in cooling system keeps every pulse comfortable from start to finish. The result is a precise, safe, and effective skin tightening experience with no needles, no numbing, and no downtime.

As demand for preventative and non-invasive aesthetic procedures continues to rise globally, structural skin tightening has emerged as one of the fastest-growing treatment categories, with patients increasingly seeking comfortable treatments that improve skin firmness and quality without surgery or downtime.

"The demand we're seeing reflects a broader shift in aesthetics. Patients want natural-looking results, minimal downtime, and treatments that support long-term skin health. They're also more informed than ever about aesthetic technologies," said Dr. Michelle Henry, board-certified dermatologist, founder of Skin & Aesthetic Surgery of Manhattan. "What makes XERF so compelling is that it addresses all of those priorities. It allows us to personalize the treatment while maintaining patient comfort and delivering consistent results, which is why it has resonated so well with patients."

As the category continues to evolve, Cynosure Lutronic remains at the forefront, driving innovation in energy-based aesthetics and supporting providers with technologies that address these evolving patient needs.
