XERF in Penang | CANVAS Medical Clinic
Fractional radiofrequency resurfacing — physician-performed XERF at our Gurney Walk clinic in George Town. Precise RF energy renews the skin's surface and stimulates deeper collagen, refining texture, pores and laxity with a controlled, manageable recovery.
What is XERF?
XERF is a fractional radiofrequency treatment — 'fractional' meaning it treats the skin in a precise grid of micro-zones, leaving healthy skin between them to accelerate healing, much as fractional lasers do but using radiofrequency energy. It works on two levels: renewing the skin surface for texture and pores, and heating the deeper dermis to stimulate collagen for firmness.
At CANVAS Medical Clinic in George Town, Penang, XERF adds a fractional RF resurfacing option to our radiofrequency range — suited to patients wanting texture refinement, pore reduction and firming with a controlled, manageable recovery. As a fractional approach, it can be tuned from gentle refreshers to more intensive resurfacing, matched by your physician to your skin and downtime tolerance.
How it works
- Consultation & assessment. Your physician assesses texture, pores and laxity, and sets the intensity to your skin and acceptable downtime.
- Numbing. Topical numbing cream is applied for comfort before treatment.
- Fractional RF resurfacing. RF energy is delivered in a micro-zone grid, renewing the surface and heating the dermis for collagen.
- Course & healing. A short recovery follows; improvements build over the weeks, with sessions planned to your concern.

Who it's for
XERF may be suitable if you:
- Want texture refinement and smaller-looking pores
- Notice early laxity alongside surface concerns
- Prefer radiofrequency resurfacing to laser for your skin
- Can accept a short recovery for a resurfacing result
- Want intensity tuned to your downtime tolerance
- Are building a skin-rejuvenation programme
XERF is not suitable over active skin infection, during pregnancy, or with certain conditions; recovery varies with intensity. Your physician will set expectations and downtime honestly at consultation. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
XERF vs EXION Microneedling RF vs laser
Three routes to resurfaced, remodelled skin. XERF uses fractional radiofrequency — micro-zones of RF energy for surface renewal and deeper collagen. EXION Microneedling RF delivers RF through needles for deeper, scar-focused remodelling. Laser resurfacing uses light energy, excellent for tone and pigment as well as texture.
The best route depends on your primary concern — texture and pores, established scars, or pigment and tone — and your skin type. Your CANVAS physician will recommend honestly, sometimes combining approaches.
