Welcome to Helio Health and Wellness
XERF Structural Skin Tightening
At Helio Health and Wellness, we’re always advancing skincare with technology that delivers real, lasting results – comfortably and confidently. XERF represents the next evolution in non-invasive skin tightening, harnessing the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy to strengthen collagen and restore youthful firmness – with no needles, no numbing, and zero downtime.
Unlike traditional RF treatments, XERF penetrates three layers of the skin – shallow, mid, and deep — for comprehensive structural rejuvenation. This layered precision triggers collagen remodeling and tissue tightening at every level, creating smoother, firmer, more lifted skin from the inside out.

Why Try XERF in Austin?
Advanced Energy for Structural Renewal
Using Accurate Impedance Feedback, XERF adapts in real time to your skin’s needs, optimizing energy delivery for safety and effectiveness. With three customizable depth settings and ten intensity levels, each treatment is fully personalized for your unique skin structure and goals.
Paired with Integrated Cryogen Delivery and WaveFit™ Pulse Technology, XERF provides a perfectly balanced experience — warmth and energy for collagen stimulation, with cooling for total comfort.
The Experience
Before your XERF session, your provider at Helio Health and Wellness will perform a personalized skin consultation to understand your concerns and treatment goals.
During treatment, you’ll relax comfortably as gentle RF energy is delivered through the applicator. You’ll feel soothing warmth — never pain — as the energy deeply revitalizes your skin’s architecture. Each session takes about 30 minutes, making it an easy addition to your beauty or wellness routine.
Immediate and Ongoing Results
Many patients feel a noticeable tightening immediately after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen rebuilds. A series of 2-3 treatments spaced a few weeks apart produces the most dramatic, long-lasting lift and firmness.
What to Expect
The XERF Process
1
Consultation
Before your XERF treatment, you’ll meet with a Helio Health and Wellness provider for a personalized skin consultation. Your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals and concerns, and answer any questions you may have. This consultation helps us create a customized treatment plan and determine the ideal number of sessions to achieve your best, most radiant results.

XERF Treatment
During your XERF treatment, you’ll relax comfortably while your provider gently glides the XERF across the skin. You may feel a warm sensation as the device works to tighten and rejuvenate your skin, but it’s generally very comfortable and not painful. The treatment settings can be adjusted to your preference to create a customized experience from start to finish.

Results
You may notice a visible improvement in your skin’s laxity and tone after just one XERF treatment. However, for the best and most lasting results, we typically recommend a series of treatments. The exact number of sessions will be determined during your consultation as part of your personalized treatment plan. The majority of people see optimal results with at least 2-3 treatments.
