Summer is ending and the weather is starting to cool, which means it’s time to think about adjusting your spa and skincare routines. Here are Joanna’s tips for your next fall treatment day at our New York or Los Angeles Spas:
Exfoliate and hydrate the face: SuperNova Facial
This treatment removes debris built up over the summer and sends you into cooler temps with a hydrated base.
Exfoliate and Hydrate the body: Double Happiness
A diamond-tipped wand refreshes the body after being exposed to elements all summer, and of course hydrates from shoulder to toe.
Heal the skin from too much sun: Sleeping Beauty
LED is key for rejuvenating skin, repairing it by 300% each session and building collagen for long-term benefits.
Heal the soul (LA edition): The Soak
An extra 30 minutes to yourself before heading back into LA LA land - the Soak is our LA exclusive soul-healing experience.
Heal the soul (NY edition): Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber
An extra 60 minutes to yourself before heading back into the big apple- the action of an Oxygen Chamber is to heal from within. Just breathe in and let the oxygen do the work.
In fall, clients always regroup to get a revised skincare plan with their estheticians. Book your next treatment today and we will get a custom plan created for your specific skincare and body care needs in mind. Contact us today: New York location or Los Angeles location.

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.
