The Triple Crown Facial
By Toni Monti · Published October 14, 2020 · Updated February 10, 2025
These last few months have been anything but normal, but luckily we are allowed to perform facials again, just in time for the colder weather. And we definitely missed your faces!
These last few months have been anything but normal, but luckily we are allowed to perform facials again, just in time for the colder weather. And we definitely missed your faces!
Joanna’s signature facial that started it all is the Triple Crown Facial: a unique combination of microdermabrasion, micro-current, and oxygen-infused therapy to refine, lift, and tone your skin. The immediately visible results are smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin with a radiant glow.
We first start with microdermabrasion using a diamond-tipped wand that gently lifts off dead skin. Next we cleanse, following with oxygen therapy, which gives an instant brightening effect. Post oxygen therapy, we use one of our sheet masks, along with micro-current, to hydrate while gently lifting the skin. Every session triggers collagen and elastin production for immediately visible results and cumulative benefits over 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.
