Collagen does not disappear overnight. It slowly weakens, thins, and loses structure over time, which is why different age brackets benefit from different treatment plans. XERF skin tightening is one of the most comfortable ways to rebuild firmness and support as the years go by, without needles, pain, or downtime.
So how many sessions do you actually need at each decade of life? Let’s break it down.
In your 20s: Prevention beats correction
Collagen production is still strong, but lifestyle habits like sun exposure, late nights, and stress start to chip away at your skin’s foundation. This is the best time to delay future sagging.
Recommended plan:
1–2 XERF treatments per year for prevention
Focus on jawline support, cheek contour, and early textural tightening
Think of this as investing in your future self. You will thank yourself later.
In your 30s: Collagen slowdown becomes visible
Around this stage, collagen fibres start to stretch and repair less efficiently. You might notice your skin does not “snap back” the way it used to. Clients often describe their face looking “tired” even when they are not.
Recommended plan:
A series of 2–3 XERF treatments spaced one month apart
Maintenance every 6-8 months
Layering collagen stimulation now can prevent the early signs of laxity from becoming jowls later.
In your 40s: Gravity gets bold
This is when volume shifts, ligaments loosen, and the jawline softens. Neck laxity becomes more noticeable, and the skin may feel thinner and less supported.
Recommended plan:
A series of 3 XERF treatments over 12 weeks
Combination therapy may elevate your results
Many clients pair XERF with:
Potenza RF microneedling for surface tightening
LaseMD Ultra for texture and brightness
Exosomes for collagen recovery
It is not about looking younger than your age. It is about looking firm, rested, and lifted.
50s and beyond: Restoring deep support
As collagen weakens further, the fascia layer loses tension. At this stage, a single treatment is usually not enough to see significant lift. A structured plan works best.
Recommended plan:
3-4 XERF treatments in a series
Annual boosters for maintenance
Combination with resurfacing or pigmentation control
Clients often see impressive changes in neck firmness and jawline contour when consistency is added.
How long do results last?
Collagen that is rebuilt from heat-based energy can last up to 18 months, depending on your age and lifestyle. Everyone continues to age, so touch-ups are part of long-term planning.
Think of collagen like fitness. You get stronger with repetition, and you maintain with consistency.
Does age change comfort or downtime?
Not at all. XERF is comfortable regardless of age, thanks to built-in cooling and controlled heat spread. There is no recovery period, makeup can be worn right away, and you can return to normal life immediately.
When to start maintenance
Once you have completed your initial treatment plan, most clients maintain with:
1 treatment every 6-12 months
Additional sessions before big events
This keeps collagen active instead of playing catch-up later.
The bottom line
The earlier you start supporting collagen, the easier it is to maintain lift and contour. Even if you are already seeing laxity, XERF can still strengthen deeper structures safely and comfortably.
