Sound familiar?
Loose skin isn't weight.
Loose skin isn't weight.
It's lost support.
As collagen slowly declines, skin loses the structure that keeps it firm. These are the changes people most often notice.
01
A softer jawline
The line from chin to ear looks less defined than it used to.
02
Cheeks losing firmness
Skin over the cheeks feels less springy and starts to sit lower.
03
Crepey skin around the eyes
Fine, papery texture and lines around the delicate eye area.
04
Fine lines and texture
Lines and uneven texture that make skin look tired.
05
Loose skin on the neck
The neck shows laxity before the face does.
06
Firmer, without surgery
You'd like a gradual improvement without injections or surgery.
Treatment overview
Heat that reaches deeper, comfort on the surface
XTherma is a monopolar radiofrequency device developed by Tentech in Korea. Energy travels through the skin towards a return pad, warming the whole dermis evenly, while cooling bursts protect the surface.
400Wmaximum RF power
6.78MHzradiofrequency
3tip sizes: eyes, face, body
7cooling bursts with each pulse
01
Immediate tightening
Gentle heat makes existing collagen fibres contract, so many people feel firmer skin soon after treatment.
02
Collagen renewal
Over the following weeks to months, the skin's healing response builds and remodels collagen for gradual, natural-looking firmness.
03
Comfort built in
Cooling runs before, during and after each pulse, and the energy level is adjusted to your comfort.

FAQ
Your questions, answered
Is XTherma painful?
Most people describe a warm, heating sensation with each pulse, balanced by cooling before and after. The energy level is adjusted to your comfort during treatment.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is usually minimal. Some redness or warmth may appear and typically settles within a few hours, so most people return to work or daily activities the same day.
When will I see results?
Some people notice the skin feels firmer soon after treatment. As new collagen forms, improvement continues gradually over the following weeks to months. Results vary from person to person.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people have 1–2 sessions a year, and your doctor will tailor the plan to your skin, the area treated and your goals.
Which areas can be treated?
With three tip sizes, XTherma can be used around the eyes, on the face, jawline and neck, and on body areas such as the abdomen, arms and thighs.
How is XTherma different from HIFU?
HIFU uses focused ultrasound to target set depths, including the deeper SMAS layer, while XTherma uses radiofrequency to heat the dermis more broadly. They work differently and are sometimes combined. Your doctor can advise which suits you.
