We all love taking care of our face, but what about the rest of our skin below our chin? This spring, we're all about taking care of the other 90% of our biggest organ, our skin, with our favorite body treatments.
We all love taking care of our face, but what about the rest of our skin below our chin? This spring, we're all about taking care of the other 90% of our biggest organ, our skin, with our favorite body treatments. Inspired by the facials with the same benefits, Joanna created these two body treatments to give you the most hydrating and the most skin-tightening you can get in a spa session. Here's a breakdown of our favorite two body treatments this season:
We begin with a nutrient-rich liquid exfoliation to gently remove dead skin cells and soften the surface, followed by a nourishing body oil and body cryotherapy to soothe inflammation, and a brightening oxygen treatment with Joanna's own green tea & hyaluronic acid serum to nourish skin for an extended and revitalized glow.
The results bring you smooth, soft, radiant skin all over.
Pro tip: book both in one trip and be ready for summer ‘fits. Available in both NYC and LA.
Using exclusive state-of-the-art equipment, skin is heated and tightened, triggering collagen production and melting away fat and cellulite leaving skin soft, supple, and smooth. It’s like shrink wrapping your body!
Radio Frequency was developed to address the following face & body concerns:
- Rough skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven fat pockets
- Loose skin areas
- Stubborn cellulite
A series of six is recommended for best results. Start your treatments to be done in time for summer! Available in NYC only.

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.
