Microneedling and Radio Frequency together = Immediate and long term radiant results
Fall is the perfect time of year to book our microneedling facial. Joanna’s Twilight Facial is a youth-giving treatment that combines the long-term skin tightening power of Radio Frequency with the deeper collagen remodeling of microneedling.
This pain-free treatment uses the top two professional treatments in one setting, for the most efficient and advanced results:
- Collagen building
- Skin plumping & tightening
- Even texture
- Smoother skin texture
- Less sagging
The results are impactful:
- Smoother and more consistent texture
- Visibly improved tightness
- Less scarring and uneven pigmentation
Microneedling with Radio Frequency is ideal for all skin tones and types. It delivers energy in a way that is safe to use in patients with darker skin types. Joanna recommends booking this facial 3-4 times per year to maintain tightness and firmness.
“I know, I know, any cosmetic treatment with the word needle in it probably makes shivers go up your spine. Never fear! My microneedling is a safe and relatively painless procedure that can deliver dramatic results to the most problematic skin.” - Joanna
The Twilight Facial delivers results with the Joanna Vargas difference: we use Cryotherapy and Joanna’s patented Revitalight LED Bed in each session to further firm and improve skin for elevated results. Results can be seen in less than 24 hours!

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.
