XERF Skin Tightening Before the Tony Awards
- Little to no downtime
- Results build over 4 weeks
- Complimentary consultation
Reviewed by Tiffany Wang, PA-C, Dermatology-trained Physician Associate, Skin Select Brentwood
The Tony Awards ceremony takes place each June in New York City, but Broadway performers and nominees increasingly live and prep in Los Angeles. XERF at Skin Select Brentwood delivers non-surgical skin tightening with mild redness for a few hours and then you're back to your day, with visible results in four weeks, making April the ideal booking window for talent traveling to New York for the Tonys.
The Tony Awards: Broadway’s Biggest Night Celebrates Performers on Both Coasts
The Tony Awards, formally the Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Broadway Theatre, represent the highest recognition in American theater. The June ceremony in New York City marks the culmination of a full Broadway season, honoring performances and productions that have unfolded over months of nightly and twice-weekly shows. But the landscape of Broadway performance has changed. The contemporary Broadway performer is increasingly not exclusively a New York resident. Film and television work draws stage talent to Los Angeles for pilot season, recurring roles, and feature productions, and many Tony nominees and performers maintain active LA bases while cycling back to New York for their Broadway runs.
According to the Broadway League, Broadway shows attracted nearly 12 million theatergoers during the 2022–2023 season, generating over $1.8 billion in grosses, making Broadway one of the most commercially significant live performance industries in the country (Broadway League, 2023). The Tony Awards ceremony is the annual capstone of that season, broadcast nationally and carrying the full weight of the industry's attention. Nominees and presenters are photographed extensively in the days surrounding the ceremony: on press day, at the arrivals, and throughout the post-show events. The broadcast itself reaches millions of viewers who follow theater closely enough to know the faces on screen.
"Broadway clients are among the most appearance-conscious clients I see, and also the most schedule-constrained. They have shows most nights of the week. Any prep they do for the Tonys has to happen around a performance schedule that doesn't pause for anything," says Jinli Wu, PA-C at Skin Select in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
The Tony Awards draw a specific professional community: West LA-based stage talent with performance schedules that demand a treatment with recovery measured in hours, not days, and a provider who understands what a results timeline means when June is the target date. Skin Select's location and appointment-only model fit that profile precisely.
When to Book XERF Before the Tony Awards
The Tony Awards ceremony takes place in June. For XERF results to peak by show week, treatment should be completed by early May at the latest. This window reflects XERF's collagen remodeling mechanism: radiofrequency energy delivered to the deeper skin layers triggers a biological response that produces new collagen over four weeks. A treatment completed in late April produces peak firmness and tightening precisely when a Tony nominee is arriving in New York for press obligations, fittings, and the ceremony itself. According to a clinical review published in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, radiofrequency-based skin tightening devices demonstrated measurable improvements in skin laxity and texture at the four-week post-treatment mark, with continued improvement noted through twelve weeks in a subset of patients (Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2021).
April is the practical booking window for Tony Awards preparation at Skin Select. Performers in Broadway shows during the spring season, many of whom are simultaneously Tony nominees, can schedule XERF in Los Angeles during breaks, dark days, or layovers between coasts. Clients planning two sessions should aim to complete their first appointment in late March to allow both treatment cycles to complete before early May. Demand at Skin Select increases in spring across multiple awards windows; booking April consultations as early as March is recommended for clients with firm event commitments.
Broadway Performers and LA-Based Talent Deserve a Treatment That Fits Around the Show
Stage performers operate under a performance calendar that has no tolerance for recovery time. Broadway schedules typically run eight shows per week, six evenings and two matinees, with brief breaks on Mondays and occasional dark days. Tony nominees during the spring season are simultaneously rehearsing for any awards-season performance segments, coordinating travel logistics to New York, and maintaining their nightly show commitments. According to Actors' Equity Association, the majority of working Broadway performers maintain active contracts requiring performance obligations through the final week of the Tony eligibility season, meaning prep time exists only in narrow gaps (Actors' Equity Association, 2023).
"For stage performers, the performance schedule is non-negotiable. They need a treatment that works around a Tuesday matinee and a Wednesday evening show, and XERF does exactly that. Treatment in the morning, back to their routine by afternoon," says Tiffany Wang, PA-C at Skin Select in Brentwood, Los Angeles.
XERF's recovery profile makes it the practical choice for a performer who can't afford visible effects, restricted activity, or anything that interferes with vocal warm-ups and physical demands. Mild redness resolves within hours. Makeup can be applied immediately. A treatment booked on a Monday, Broadway's traditional day off, is invisible by any Tuesday obligation.
Skin Select doesn't discuss clients. Treatment records stay between you and your provider, and that applies to everyone on staff. For clients who prefer an assistant or manager to make first contact, that's a normal part of how the practice works. Call (310) 218-5701 to speak with a provider directly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients return to their schedule the same day. Mild redness or warmth in the treated area typically clears within two to four hours. Makeup can be applied immediately after the session, and activity is unrestricted from that point forward. Filming schedules, workouts, and public appearances are all fine the same day.
Many clients see meaningful improvement after a single session. Your provider will assess your skin during the consultation and recommend a protocol based on your goals and current skin condition. Clients with moderate laxity often get their best results from two sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. A second session can always be added after evaluating your initial response.
XERF delivers radiofrequency energy below the skin surface rather than to the outer layer, making it suitable for a wide range of skin tones and types. Your provider evaluates your skin at the consultation and adjusts treatment settings to match your specific profile. Clients with active skin conditions or recent procedures may be asked to wait until their skin is ready.
Most clients describe the sensation as warm pressure. Treatment settings are adjusted throughout the session based on your comfort, and a numbing lounge is available when needed. Sessions take 30 to 60 minutes. Any discomfort is mild and passes quickly, and clients typically leave the office without any residual irritation.
Some clients notice an early refreshed quality to their skin within the first week. The more visible changes build as collagen develops over four weeks, with continued improvement through week twelve in many cases. Because XERF works gradually, the results look natural rather than sudden, which is part of what makes it well-suited for clients who need to look their best continuously.
Side effects are typically mild and short-lived. Redness and warmth in the treated area are the most common, and both clear within a few hours for most clients. Minor swelling, when it occurs, resolves within a day. Bruising is uncommon. Your provider will walk through your individual risk profile during the consultation.
