Complementary to most skincare procedures and formulations, the action of oxygen is to heal from within. This natural approach to skincare is trusted by health professionals for the numerous benefits and proven to deliver on a holistic level, including rejuvenating skin, increasing skin elasticity, repairing aging skin texture, reducing scar formation, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improving skin complexion. It's also proven to be a powerful adjunctive treatment that any athlete can use to improve their athletic performance and enhance the body’s natural healing process.
Oxygen is known to be a systemic component in skin rejuvenation. When we deliver oxygen under pressure the supplemented oxygen levels improve blood flow, boost cell metabolism, facilitate collagen production, contribute to microscopic blood vessel growth, reduce oxidative stress, and on the surface level, increase skin elasticity. Breathing oxygen inside the hyperbaric chamber is a natural and non-invasive procedure with efficient healing and regenerative action. The increased pressure inside the hyperbaric chamber facilitates the absorption of oxygen in larger quantities in the blood plasma. When high concentrations of oxygen are transported and become available to all necessary cells and tissues, the body’s natural healing mechanism is stimulated.
Benefits of each session:
- expedited cell growth and regeneration
- increased collagen production
- cell detoxification
- increased immune support
- new capillary growth for stronger skin
- reduced cramps and muscle pain
- improved neurological functioning
Our Relaxation Pod distribute oxygen in greater concentration to all your cells in each relaxing session to heal from within, all in the relaxing Joanna Vargas Salon setting.

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.
