Read more about Endermologie Face in Melbourne, FLWhat is radiofrequency skin tightening?
Radiofrequency, or RF, is a form of energy that becomes warmth as it passes through tissue. Skin tightening devices aim that warmth below the surface, in the layer where collagen sits.
The RF device at Karisma is XERF by Cynosure Lutronic. The FDA cleared it on August 11, 2025, as an electrosurgical device for electrocoagulation and hemostasis (510(k) K251327); the maker announced it on August 18. It runs on two frequencies at once, 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz. Thermage FLX, another RF system, uses one, 6.78 MHz.

| Face, cheeks and jawline | XERF, or Endermologie Face for a lighter routine | $1,500 or $120 |

When does a device make sense?
Mild to moderate looseness on the face or neck, in someone who wants no needles and no surgery. For XERF, Kay finds the late 30s to early 50s respond most visibly, and she steers people in their 20s away from it.
When should you talk to a surgeon?
Skin that hangs in folds, for example after a large weight loss, is extra skin. No studio device can remove it. Kay will tell you if that is where you are.
Questions about skin tightening
Which non-invasive skin tightening treatment is right for me?
It depends on the area, how loose the skin is and your budget. For the face and neck, Endermologie Face at $120 is a lower-cost routine, and XERF is the radiofrequency option at a higher price. Kay offers XERF for the face and neck only, so it is not a stomach or thigh treatment here.
Does radiofrequency skin tightening really work?
RF is an established way to warm deeper skin. For XERF in particular, two small 2026 studies, 39 people and 16 women, report improvement at about 3 months with no untreated comparison group, and the larger one included only skin types I to IV. So results vary and nobody should promise a set change. Read Is XERF worth it? before you decide.
How much does skin tightening cost in Melbourne, FL?
At Karisma, Endermologie Face is $120 a session and XERF is $1,500 a session or $3,000 for two. A $150 XERF consultation comes first and counts toward the session. The XERF cost guide has the full breakdown.
Can it help loose skin after weight loss, including GLP-1 medications?
For mild looseness on the face or neck, a consultation will tell you if XERF fits. Kay gives no advice about weight-loss medication, and large folds of skin are a question for a surgeon.
