“Honestly, radio frequency treatment is as close to a non-invasive face lift as I have ever seen.” - Joanna Vargas.
Of course, non-invasive means it's not a magic solution, but as part of a series it really works, and it's one of the technologies Joanna has been most excited about in the recent years.
Radio Frequency is not new as a concept, it's one of the many frequencies that can be found on the electromagnetic spectrum. It exists as radio waves, Wi-Fi, television signals and more. But in cosmetic treatments, compared to other forms of radio frequency, the wavelength per seconds is quite low. Think, one billion times less powerful than an X-ray. It's amazing because it still produces healing heat without the more powerful negative effects of other frequencies.
In the spa, we use a small handheld wand that distributes comfortably warm energy throughout the skin - including your cheeks, eyes, noes, neck and chin. The warmth heats the dermis and subdermis which stimulates collagen production. This creates 20% more collagen in each session vs what you would normally produce. Also, it pushes together the collagen fibers, which helps to thicken the skin, giving immediate results like looking more plump, more lifted, and firmer, while over time collagen increases to create a semi-permanent lifted effect.
If you're concerned about a part of your body that sags or looks dimpled no matter how much you exercise, radio frequency might be a good solution for you. We have radio frequency body treatments as well!
It’s non-invasive and pain-free, with very little down time. Because of the heat, you might have some redness for up to an hour after the facial that will fade.
The wonderful benefit of our Forever Facial is that it works on all ages and skin types. For maximum results, Joanna recommends booking 1x per week for 8 weeks, then maintaining every few months thereafter. At minimum, radio frequency should be done twice a year.

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.
