Ballancer Pro Benefits - Joanna Vargas

The Ballancer Pro is a medical machine that was originally developed to treat lymphatic problems that caused swelling and lymph build-up. 

However, it’s become a popular treatment outside of hospitals and has been approved by the likes of Chrissy Teigen and Jennifer Anniston for its many health and beauty benefits. In fact, you may have seen the picture of Aniston zipped up in the device, that looks a little like inflatable ski salopettes, circulating on social media.

Dr Sophie Shotter, an aesthetic doctor, who offers Body Ballancer at her clinic says that it can boost the immune system, aid relaxation, improve sleep, speed up recovery after exercise and help promote a healthier gut, all of them essential for beautiful skin. 

In addition to these benefits it can reduce water and generally help to contour the body. Hence why many A-listers will book this transformative treatment in the days leading up to a red-carpet event.

Can You Combine XERF with Botox, Filler, or Lasers?
October 11, 2026

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
October 10, 2026

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

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.
