Start with: Himalayan Hot Stone Massage
Destress while neutralizing the effects of toxic frequencies we live with every day. Himalayan salt provides added therapeutic benefits to your replenishing massage treatment. This massage is a staff favorite! 

Next up: SuperNova Facial
SuperNova facial is famous for being a celeb-loved facial to resurface the skin. It also uses microcurrent to contour your face, while a collagen mask infuses it with vital nutrients, ending with cryotherapy providing anti-inflammatory benefits. The results are healthy, youthful and glowing skin in just one session. Long-terms results are a more lifted look and hydrated skin.

Add-on to your facial: Body Booster
These pressure suit lymphatic drainage leggings use air to massage the body, deliver fresh nutrients to our deepest tissues and move stagnated fluids, thus detoxing the body.

Add a moment of rest: The Soak

An add on to any of our services, you can enjoy a soothing bath in our en suite soaking tub with an infusion of essences for a true spa experience.

End with: The Shine
A full body scrub and hydration session, followed by a 20 minute rest in our patented LED Light Bed. This treatment works for resurfacing, polishing, and improving the appearance of cellulite.

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

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.
