In a celebrity beauty landscape where some stars are refreshingly candid about their cosmetic treatments and others keep their routines under wraps, Priyanka Chopra Jonas appears to fall firmly in the former camp. The actress took to Instagram to share a video of herself mid-treatment, giving her nearly 100 million followers a real-time look at her XERF skin-tightening session. <\/p>\n
Ahead, we\u2019re breaking down what XERF is, key details to know, why it\u2019s gaining buzz and more.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
For the treatment, Chopra Jonas turned to San Diego dermatologist Tess Mauricio, MD at her M Beauty Clinic. The XERF technology uses two radio frequencies to target multiple tissue depths, stimulating collagen and elastin production\u2014the proteins that help give skin its structure\u2014for firmer-looking results. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe XERF system is the next evolution of skin tightening,\u201d Dr. Mauricio told us as part of our 2026 Beauty Awards, where XERF won Best Radio-Frequency Skin-Tightening Treatment. \u201cThis structural skin-tightening treatment gently remodels the structure of the skin and restores firmness from within.\u201d She added that patients \u201cimmediately feel tighter skin and experience additional improvement as collagen continues to rebuild in the weeks and months that follow.\u201d<\/p>\n
XERF is still relatively new to U.S. practices, having earned FDA clearance in August 2025. That recent arrival is part of why our director of beauty, Britt Fallon, called out its stateside momentum in her note tied to its NB2026 win: \u201cWe are so excited to see XERF making its way into more offices stateside,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n
Fallon also pointed to one of the treatment\u2019s biggest draws: \u201cWith no numbing and no downtime, it’s a game-changer for tighter, younger-looking skin.\u201d Though \u201cno numbing\u201d might sound daunting, the treatment is designed not to need it: XERF uses built-in cooling technology to help keep the skin comfortable throughout the session.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also worth mentioning that Chopra Jonas isn\u2019t the only celebrity fan of the treatment. Kim Kardashian shared her own XERF appointment on Instagram Stories this past February, calling it her \u201cnew fave tightening laser.\u201d [Editor\u2019s note: XERF isn\u2019t technically a laser; it\u2019s a radio-frequency skin-tightening treatment.] <\/p>\n
Maybe you\u2019ll be the next to be obsessed. Either way, XERF is one of those treatments you\u2019ll likely be hearing more about as celebrities continue sharing their in-office procedures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
