Innovative Skin Tightening: Queen City Dermatology Introduces XERF in Cincinnati

Groundbreaking Skin Treatment in Cincinnati

Queen City Dermatology is proud to announce that it is the first practice in Cincinnati to offer the innovative XERF radiofrequency skin tightening treatment, a non-invasive procedure developed by Cynosure Lutronic. This new addition enhances the practice's growing portfolio of advanced cosmetic services aimed at those seeking facial rejuvenation without the need for surgery.

What is XERF?

Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in August 2025, XERF is heralded as the world's first multifrequency monopolar radiofrequency treatment. The device utilizes a unique combination of 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz energy to provide targeted radiofrequency to various skin layers, effectively stimulating collagen production from within. This ensures that patients can enjoy firmer, smoother skin without the discomfort often associated with conventional aesthetic procedures.

How Does It Work?

XERF treatments are characterized by their precision and adaptability. The system integrates Wave Fit pulse technology with Advanced Integrated Cryogen Delivery, creating a controlled environment during the procedure that maintains a comfortable surface temperature. Patients can expect personalized treatment programs as the device offers three depth settings and ten treatment levels, allowing for customization according to individual skin types and needs.

No Downtime, No Needles

One of the standout features of the XERF treatment is its non-invasive nature, meaning that patients will not need to deal with needles or downtime. They can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles.

Personalized Care at Queen City Dermatology

At Queen City Dermatology, each XERF treatment is part of a comprehensive, physician-directed approach to skin rejuvenation. The team, led by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Kristine Zitelli, prioritizes personalized treatment planning. Patients can expect thorough education and support, ensuring they are well-informed throughout the entire process—from consultation to aftercare.

Dr. Zitelli emphasizes the importance of patient confidence in aesthetic procedures. "Bringing XERF to Cincinnati reflects our commitment to offering patients the most thoughtful, up-to-date options in dermatologic and aesthetic care," she said.
