There is skin tightening, and then there is XERF. Inside the Forbes Five-Star Fairmont Olympic Hotel in the heart of downtown Seattle, the XERF treatment has become the reason discerning clients travel in from across the Pacific Northwest and book their next visit before they leave. This is non-surgical, radio-frequency skin tightening at its most refined: real, visible lift, without surgery, without needles, and with little to no downtime.

What Is the XERF Treatment?
XERF is an advanced radio-frequency (RF) skin-tightening treatment that uses precisely controlled heat to stimulate the skin's own collagen and elastin. Rather than resurfacing or removing tissue, XERF works beneath the surface, gently warming the deeper layers of the skin to encourage natural collagen remodeling in the weeks and months that follow. The result is firmer, more sculpted, more youthful-looking skin that still looks entirely like you.
Most clients describe the experience as a warm, relaxing facial massage. It is comfortable and non-invasive, and most return to work and social plans the same day. XERF is beautifully suited to areas where skin has begun to soften with time or weight change, including:
- The jawline and under-chin
- The neck and décolleté
- The cheeks and mid-face
- The abdomen, arms, knees, and thighs, where mild to moderate laxity appears
Why XERF Is Different and Rare
Very few providers have the XERF technology, and that is precisely the point. Recognized by New Beauty as a leading radio-frequency skin-tightening device, XERF represents a genuine advance in non-surgical aesthetics; the kind of technology found in only a handful of the country's most exclusive spas.
A note for those searching "XERF laser": XERF is not a laser. It is radio-frequency energy, which heats the deeper structural layers of the skin to rebuild collagen, rather than targeting the surface the way a laser does. That is one of the reasons it is so comfortable and requires so little recovery.
What truly sets XERF apart at Penelope And The Beauty Bar is not only the machine, but the hands guiding it. Our providers blend time-honored European and K-beauty manual technique with modern technology; a philosophy that is luxurious, expert, and results-driven. This is the antithesis of the strip-mall med spa: a destination experience inside Seattle's most historic hotel, delivered by a team clients have trusted for years.
Who XERF Is For and Results to Expect
XERF is designed for the client who wants visible, natural-looking results without the commitment of surgery. It is an ideal choice for those noticing early laxity along the jawline and neck, softening facial contours, or looser skin following significant or GLP-1-related weight loss.
Because XERF works by prompting the body to produce new collagen, results are progressive and refined rather than abrupt. Clients often notice an immediate "snugness" and glow, with firmer contours continuing to develop over the following weeks. Benefits our clients return for include:
- A more defined, lifted jawline and firmer neck
- Improved elasticity, tone, and texture
- Softened skin laxity without surgery or injectables
- Gradual, natural-looking results that build over time
Many clients benefit from an initial series, followed by periodic maintenance, to preserve their results. Our providers will design a plan tailored to your skin during consultation.
XERF Before and After
The most compelling proof of XERF is in the faces of the clients who return for it. Because collagen renews gradually, XERF before-and-after results reveal themselves over a series of weeks: firmer contours, a more defined jawline, and a visible improvement in overall skin quality.
