Ways to Get Rid Of Uneven Skin Texture - Joanna Vargas

Your skin is a living organ and changes can occur daily due to many contributing factors. On any given day you may suddenly have bumps, dry patches, lines and wrinkles. And although your favorite photoshop model might tell you differently this is what us mortals have to deal with.

Your goal of perpetually smooth and glowing skin is not necessarily unreal but we need to set realistic goals and manage expectations. Now, I don’t want to discourage you from said goal but the truth is that textured skin is a common occurrence.

So, what exactly is skin texture? In simple terms, it refers to the smoothness and softness of the skin. Unfortunately the opposite end of that spectrum is textured skin that tends to be rough, uneven, or bumpy. All skin types can exhibit such symptoms and external factors like the sun or smoking can play a role in inducing changes that affect the texture of your skin.

The solutions can be many but they all operate on the same principle of exfoliation, increased collagen production and cell turnover for smoother and younger looking skin.

One of our newest facial is the Magic Glow Facial and this effortlessly smoothes down rough, uneven or scarred skin. We use a sterile surgical scalpel to physically scrape off the top layer of dead, dull skin, which will reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, or other skin imperfections by revealing newer, undamaged skin.

Exfoliation can be mechanical or acid base and some products have a combination of both like our Exfoliating Mask. Products that use this combination soften and polish the skin. Also, retinol, and retinoids can exfoliate and simultaneously increase collagen production, aiding in proper skin cell turnover for baby smooth skin.

Your obsession of perpetually smooth, glowing skin is actually within reach.

Can You Combine XERF with Botox, Filler, or Lasers?
October 11, 2026

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 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

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.
