The SuperNova Facial by Joanna Vargas
As the weather cools, our skin needs extra moisture to stay hydrated. Cold temperatures and low humidity levels result in dry air that draws moisture away from the skin, resulting in the need for extra help from professionals. Our most hydrating facial is the SuperNova, a professional-grade treatment designed to replenish skin’s moisture and enhance your long-term glow.
Take it from the pro: "My SuperNova facial is a deeply hydrating collagen and cryotherapy facial that calms inflammation and lifts away fine lines and wrinkles. It’s a luxurious, five-step treatment that soothes irritated or stressed skin, hydrates, and contours for a glowing complexion." - Joanna Vargas
Benefits of the SuperNova Facial:
- Exfoliates for softness and evenness
- Deeply hydrates for an immediate and long-term glow
- Sculpts jawline and cheekbones
- Calms stressed skin
- Features our iconic gold medical-grade collagen mask

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.
