From Hian Tjen and Jovi Adhiguna to Khloé and Kim Kardashian, XERF Arrives at Aestheglow Clinic: Skin Tightening Technology Targeting the SMAS Layer to Stimulate Collagen and Elastin

Jakarta, May 18, 2026 – From couture runways to today’s highly visual digital landscape, beauty standards are increasingly shifting toward a more refined, natural, and technology-driven approach. Figures such as Hian Tjen, one of Indonesia’s leading designers, Jovi Adhiguna as a fashion, beauty, and digital creator, as well as global celebrities such as Khloé Kardashian and Kim Kardashian, reflect a shared mindset: investment in skin quality, precision treatments, and results that appear effortless yet highly curated.

Responding to this shift, Aestheglow Clinic introduces XERF by Cynosure Lutronic, the latest-generation skin tightening technology designed to work across deeper structural layers of the skin. Rather than a surface-level treatment, XERF adopts a deeper approach, targeting the foundational layers of the skin to deliver a firmer, lifted, and more refined overall appearance.

The launch took place at Aestheglow Clinic and was marked by an official ceremonial unveiling symbolizing the introduction of XERF into its treatment offerings. The event was attended by management representatives, medical professionals, as well as invited guests from media, beauty enthusiasts, and influencers, further reinforcing Aestheglow Clinic’s positioning as a clinic that prioritizes personalized, high-quality aesthetic care.

XERF is the world’s first multi-frequency monopolar RF treatment with FDA approval. The technology utilizes two simultaneous frequencies—6.78 MHz and 2 MHz—enabling deeper and more precise energy delivery into the structural layers of the skin, including the SMAS (Superficial Musculo-Aponeurotic System).

The SMAS is a key facial tissue layer located beneath the skin and fat, but above the deeper facial muscles. It consists of fibrous tissue and thin muscular structures that play an important role in maintaining facial contour, expression, and skin tension. As the aging process progresses, the SMAS structure also undergoes descent, contributing to visible signs of aging such as skin laxity, smile lines, jawline sagging, and double chin formation. By stimulating this layer, collagen and elastin production can be activated from within, rather than only at the surface level.

As a clinic focused on collagen remodeling treatments, Aestheglow Clinic introduces XERF as a solution for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. The technology is designed to stimulate collagen optimally without excessive inflammation while reaching deeper structures, including the SMAS layer. The results are visible improvements in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, neck, and other regions affected by loss of elasticity.

Collagen and elastin are two essential components responsible for maintaining skin quality. Collagen provides structure, strength, and thickness to the skin, while elastin ensures elasticity, allowing the skin to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed. A decline in the production of both components is a major factor behind visible signs of aging such as skin laxity and loss of firmness.

Dr. Aileen Gemilang Putri, representing Aestheglow Clinic, stated:

“Aestheglow Clinic adopts a regenerative approach through XERF technology, focusing on collagen remodeling and elastin stimulation. While deep skin rejuvenation reaching the SMAS layer was previously only achievable through surgical procedures or temporarily masked with fillers, XERF now enables natural structural and functional restoration from within, without downtime and with minimal discomfort.”

During a media sharing session, Hian Tjen, a fashion designer and active patient of Aestheglow Clinic, shared:

“I’ve been undergoing treatments with Dr. Aileen at Aestheglow for quite some time, and it has significantly improved my skin condition. When I was introduced to XERF, I was immediately interested because it is widely used globally and even a favorite treatment of Kim Kardashian. With my busy schedule—from studio work to show preparations—I need treatments that are comfortable, non-painful, require no downtime, and allow me to continue my activities right away. XERF works exactly that way: it makes my skin look firmer and more lifted, yet still subtle and very natural to me.”

Through this launch, Andy Rahardja, Vice President of idsMED Aesthetics Indonesia, stated:

“We appreciate Aestheglow Clinic’s commitment in introducing XERF as part of their dedication to technology-driven innovation. As the official distributor of Cynosure Lutronic in Indonesia, we see Aestheglow as a clinic that is not only highly adaptive to global developments but also maintains a strong standard in delivering safe, effective, and science-based solutions. The presence of XERF at Aestheglow is expected to provide a more advanced treatment experience for patients in Indonesia.”

In the same occasion, Marisa Theresia added:

“Aestheglow Clinic holds a strong positioning with its curated aesthetic approach supported by influential figures within its ecosystem. This strengthens trust in the treatments they offer. With XERF, we see Aestheglow further reinforcing its role as a clinic that bridges the latest aesthetic technologies with patient needs that prioritize natural and high-quality results.”

This launch marks a strategic step in bringing global skin tightening technology to Indonesia, while strengthening collaboration between distributors, international principals, and leading clinics in elevating the standards of the national aesthetic industry.
