Recommended Number of XERF Shots: Criteria and Effects for Facial Lifting Shots, How to Choose the Right Option at Seye clinic in Gangnam

2026-07-23 • Patient Resources & Tips

Hello! We are Seye clinic, dedicated to beauty for everyone.

"Doctor, is 300 shots of XERF enough for me? Or do I really need 600 shots?"

Many patients have recently been asking us this exact question. Remember, a higher shot count isn’t always better—choosing the right amount based on your facial lines and skin elasticity leads to more natural and positive results. Today, we’ll clarify how to make the best decision.

What Is XERF, and What Does ‘Shots’ Mean?

XERF is a dual monopolar tightening device that utilizes two radiofrequencies (6.78MHz and 2MHz) simultaneously. It heats loose collagen networks, tightening all layers of tissue step by step. The term "shots" refers to the number of times energy is delivered to the face—each shot applies heat at a specific depth and area. The standard 600 shots covers the entire face and neck. Increasing the dosage indiscriminately does not guarantee better outcomes. In fact, excessive doses can cause unnecessary stimulation. XERF features a three-level cooling system and precise energy distribution, reducing discomfort.

How Should You Choose the Number of XERF Shots?

XERF is offered as a 300-shot (for localized areas) or 600-shot (for full face) package. For targeted concerns, 300 shots are recommended. For overall tightening or contour/elasticity improvements, 600 shots are suitable. 300 shots are ideal for focusing on specific areas, while 600 shots provide comprehensive facial tightening.

Ultimately, selecting the number of XERF shots should be customized based on your personal concerns and treatment goals—whether you want to focus or address the whole face.

XERF Results: Duration, Effect, and Pain

XERF treatments are relatively quick with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to daily life promptly. Its advanced energy distribution and triple cooling system make it less painful than traditional single-frequency RF devices. 600 shots are used for overall tightening and lifting, while 300 shots target specific areas.

Since the coverage and recommended candidates vary with the number of shots, it’s best to have a thorough consultation before deciding.

Q&A from Our Doctor

Q. Does having more XERF shots automatically produce better results?

A. Increasing the shot count without a tailored plan will not always yield better results. The most natural and safe outcome comes from selecting the right dosage based on your facial structure, skin elasticity, and desired effect.

Q. Which is better—300 shots or 600 shots?

A. If your concerns or fine lines are minor and localized, 300 shots may be enough. For overall facial contour improvement, 600 shots are more suitable.

Q. When can I start seeing changes after XERF?

A. You may feel increased firmness immediately after the treatment. Collagen regeneration and further tightening may gradually follow over time.

Q. Should I worry about downtime or irritation?

A. Temporary redness is possible, but it typically fades quickly and should not be a major concern for most patients.

Why Do Results Vary Even with the Same XERF?

At Seye clinic, our strength is a data-driven approach that determines outcomes. We use precise 3D facial analysis and the EVE LAB diagnostic system to assess your bone structure and fat distribution. Our lead physician personally designs each treatment, customizing shot distribution for each facial ligament and fat compartment, rather than simply delivering a set quantity of shots. This meticulous planning and our university hospital-level sedation monitoring system ensure that you can safely experience the real benefits of XERF.

Conclusion

The key to XERF’s effectiveness lies in choosing the right dosage for your facial structure and skin condition. If you desire a plan tailored precisely to your needs, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation. This has been the medical director at Seye clinic—thank you.
