These are ranked by the frequency of bookings both in our NYC and LA locations. Meaning, your favorite treatment to keep you looking and feeling good all throughout the winter.
1. SuperNova Facial: It’s our go-to exfoliating and hydrating facial. But did you know it includes an iconic gold mask that floods the skin with the deepest levels of collagen-loving moisture? There's no other treatment out there that will give results with zero redness or down-time. The results are an instant and long-term youthful complexion.
2. LED Bed: This one is for your skin and muscles. Infrared light heals cold-battered skin, while non-UV light increases collagen and elastin, promoting muscle healing. Developed by NASA, FDA-approved and patented by Joanna herself, this full-body bed increases collagen production by up to 300%. It's a no-brainer for healthy, happy skin and muscles.
3. Body Booster: Everyone is adding this on to their facials this season, to promote lymphatic drainage. Meaning, better blood flow, a detoxed body, and more energy. And since it does the work during your facial, you're maximizing your time and efforts, so you can be glowing in a New York minute.

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.
