About

Dr. David J. Applebaum is a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon practicing in Boca Raton, Florida. He specializes in aesthetic, plastic, and reconstructive surgery, as well as cosmetic dermatology. He highlights XERF Structural Skin Tightening, describing it as “collagen’s wake up call” and the “next generation of skin tightening.” This non-invasive radiofrequency treatment, originating from Korea, uses advanced multifrequency RF technology with built-in cooling for comfort. It heats skin at different depths, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production to tighten skin across multiple layers. Patients can expect firmer, smoother, and more contoured skin with improved jawline definition and reduced sagging, all without needles, surgery, numbing, or downtime. A series of two treatments is typically recommended for optimal, natural-looking results. Dr. Applebaum's practice also prioritizes Epicutis skincare, valuing its science-rooted approach for overall skin health. Epicutis formulas, made with thoughtfully selected, patented ingredients, support the skin barrier, are free from harsh actives, and are safe for all skin types and ages. These products are available at the practice.

What is XERF Structural Skin Tightening and what can I expect?
XERF Structural Skin Tightening is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that uses advanced multifrequency and dual-frequency RF technology, originating from Korea. It's designed to heat deeper layers of the skin at different depths, stimulating the body's natural collagen and elastin production for remodeling. The treatment involves no needles, no surgery, no numbing, and little to no downtime, making it a comfortable experience thanks to built-in cooling. It aims to provide personalized, natural-looking results, leaving skin looking tighter, smoother, firmer, and more contoured. Patients can expect improved skin laxity, jawline definition, reduced sagging and jowls, and improved neck laxity. A series of two initial treatments is typically recommended for optimal and long-lasting results, with maintenance treatments to sustain them. Results continue to improve in the months following treatment as new collagen is produced. While it may not 'change your life,' it's presented as the next generation in non-invasive skin rejuvenation and is definitely worth considering for anti-aging, collagen boosting, and overall skin refreshment. It is safe for all skin types.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$5,196

Payments

12

Compared to peers

Above average

Dr. David J. Applebaum received $5,196 across 12 payments in 2024. That is higher than about 89% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as compensation for services other than consulting, including serving as faculty or as a speaker at a venue other than a continuing education program, and the largest single payer was Galderma Laboratories, L.P..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
