If there's one skincare facial that comes up when discussing celebrity beauty routines, it's the Joanna Vargas Triple Crown Royale. The laundry list of A-listers that has been associated with this microcurrent facial is a who’s who of Hollywood. This is the ultimate sculpting facial and ads 30 more minutes to the red carpet facial that started it all, the Triple Crown.
If the Triple Crown is your gym for your face the Royale is training your face to be an olympic athlete. Whether you’re looking to tone and tighten your complexion, stop the signs of aging or blast fine lines and wrinkles, the Triple Crown Royale is the facial for ageless beauty.
The phrase ‘no-pain, no gain’ is completely untrue when it comes to the magic of microcurrent. Often referred to as a ‘non-surgical facelift’, microcurrent is a completely safe and pain-free way of sculpting and contouring your complexion.
There's also no downtime afterwards meaning you can carry on with your day or be on your way to that special event.
Clients swear by this facial and will say things like, “You can see my skin looks firmer and my pores aren't so large.” You can also noticed when you apply foundation that the make-up goes on smoother and your eyes look more toned, refreshed, less hooded.
What to expect:
-
Microdermabrasion: We start with a Diamond Peel, which is an exfoliation with a diamond tipped wand.
-
Microcurrent: The core treatment of this facial, microcurrent reduces inflammation and puffiness, increases muscle tone, and boosts natural collagen production. We use various microrcurrent tools based on your tightening needs.
- Oxygen Treatment: We finish the facial with a pure oxygen blast. This treatment is an oxygen blast infused with green tea, vitamins, and aloe.

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.
