XERF Skin Tightening Is Now at Koza Skin Clinic in Port Coquitlam

XERF Skin Tightening Is Now at Koza Skin Clinic in Port Coquitlam

There comes a point when injectables alone aren't quite enough. 

You may still love your skin, but you're noticing that your jawline isn't as defined, your neck feels softer, or your skin doesn't have the same firmness it once did. Maybe you're not looking for more filler, and surgery isn't on the table. You simply want to improve the quality and tightness of your skin.

That's where XERF comes in.

We're excited to introduce XERF Structural Skin Tightening to Koza Skin Clinic in Port Coquitlam, a new radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to address facial and neck skin laxity, lines, and wrinkles by delivering controlled RF energy into different depths of the skin. XERF is Health Canada approved for facial lines and wrinkles, facial and neck laxity, and eyebrow lifting. For us, it's another way to approach facial aging without automatically reaching for a syringe.

What Is Skin Laxity?

Skin laxity is a gradual loss of firmness and support in the skin and underlying tissues. It can develop for different reasons, including:
  • Collagen and elastin changes: Over time, the skin becomes less resilient and doesn't rebound the way it once did.
  • Volume changes: Shifts in the deeper support of the face can make skin look looser, though adding volume isn't always the answer.
  • Sun exposure and lifestyle: Cumulative sun damage and other factors can affect skin quality and firmness.
  • Weight changes: Significant weight loss or gain can affect how the skin sits.
  • Genetics and anatomy: Everyone ages differently, and facial structure plays a role.
Because there are many reasons skin loses firmness, not every concern should be treated the same way. Some clients need volume restoration, some benefit from a neuromodulator, and some need a collagen-stimulating treatment like XERF. A consultation helps us determine which is right for you.

When Should You Start Addressing Skin Laxity?

When Should You Start Addressing Skin Laxity?When it comes to skin firmness, earlier prevention can be beneficial. Collagen changes gradually, so you don't need to wait until laxity becomes dramatic before starting to address it. Any of these can be a reason to start skin tightening treatments:

  • Softer jawline definition
  • Early jowling
  • Looser skin around the cheeks
  • Changes in the neck
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Changes in the brow area
  • A gradual loss of firmness in the lower face

At Koza, we look at the whole picture: skin quality, collagen, texture, pigment, volume, muscle movement and facial structure. Then we build a plan around what is right for you.

Needle-Free and Comfort-Focused

XERF is non-invasive. There are no needles, and the treatment does not require topical numbing. Cooling technology helps manage the temperature at the skin's surface while RF energy is delivered into the tissue.

For clients who want meaningful skin tightening without significant recovery, this can be an appealing option. Your skin-tightening treatment will not have any social downtime.

What to Expect From Results

Skin tightening is a process, not an overnight event. As collagen reorganizes and new collagen is produced, improvements in firmness and tightness will develop over time. Some clients notice an early tightening effect, while longer-term changes will develop gradually.

We recommend 2 XERF sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart and yearly maintenance after.
