We start with microdermabrasion to reveal healthy skin, followed by targeted LED red and blue light therapy to stimulate rejuvenating collagen production and pure oxygen therapy for the iconic Joanna Vargas glow.
LED red and blue light therapy is a non-invasive and painless treatment that has been proven to provide various benefits to the skin. The treatment involves the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of different wavelengths to target specific skin concerns. Red and blue LED lights are the most popular wavelengths used for facial treatments.
Red LED Benefits:
- Anti-aging: Red LED light stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining youthful-looking skin. Collagen and elastin make the skin firmer, plumper, and smoother, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Calming: Red LED light has a calming effect on the skin, reducing redness and inflammation. It is great for people with sensitive skin or those who suffer from conditions like rosacea or eczema.
- Brightening: Red LED light improves blood circulation, which means more oxygen and nutrients reach the skin cells. This leads to brighter and healthier-looking skin.
Blue LED Benefits:
- Acne-Fighting: Blue LED light targets the bacteria that cause acne, reducing inflammation and preventing future breakouts. It is a great option for people with oily or acne-prone skin.
- Oil Control: Blue LED light also helps regulate oil production, which can lead to fewer breakouts and less oily skin.
- Soothing: Like the red LED light, blue LED light also has a soothing effect on the skin, reducing inflammation and irritation.
Overall, LED red and blue light therapy is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance and health of your skin. The treatment is painless, non-invasive, and requires no downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules.
Use our NASA designed, FDA approved LED light therapy for maximum healing benefits in minimal time.

Can You Combine XERF with Botox, Filler, or Lasers?
Yes, XERF may be incorporated into a treatment plan with Botox or other neuromodulators, dermal fillers, biostimulatory injectables, lasers and selected ultrasound procedures. XERF uses noninvasive radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and support skin tightening, while neuromodulators address expression lines, fillers restore volume, and lasers may target pigmentation or texture. However, these treatments are not automatically safe to perform together or on the same day. Radiofrequency heating may affect certain existing fillers, and sequencing depends on the product, treatment area, settings and medical history. At Joanna Vargas in New York City, medically guided consultations help determine whether XERF belongs in a personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.

XERF vs. Thermage vs. Ultherapy: How They Compare
XERF and Thermage use monopolar radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and support collagen remodeling, while Ultherapy uses microfocused ultrasound with visualization to target selected tissue depths. XERF uses dual-frequency RF technology (6.78 MHz and 2 MHz), while Thermage FLX uses a single RF frequency of approximately 6.78 MHz. Ultherapy can target specific depths, including 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mm, depending on the treatment area and protocol. All three are non-surgical options for selected skin-laxity concerns, but they differ in energy delivery, comfort, clinical evidence and treatment planning. No device is universally best; the right choice depends on your anatomy, skin laxity, goals and medical evaluation.

Why the DEJ Holds the Secret to Younger Skin
The dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) is the structural foundation where the epidermis meets the dermis, and its deterioration drives visible aging. Clinical biopsy data from a 63-year-old male patient treated with E-50 Skin Booster after microneedling showed a 17% increase in rete ridge density, 52% increase in epidermal thickness, and 61% increase in basal keratinocyte density, demonstrating that targeted exosome delivery can restore the DEJ architecture that gives skin its density and firmness.
