What is VirtueRF Microneedling?
The VirtueRF Microneedling Platform is the most advanced RF microneedling device available today.
The combination of radio-frequency and microneedling has become a proven, non-invasive option to visibly improve skin tone, tighten skin, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The Most Sophisticated RF Microneedling Experience
What makes VirtueRF microneedling different is your provider’s ability to fully customize your treatment — with three handpieces, more settings, and precise depths. From a completely comfortable treatment to tailored post-care products, VirtueRF offers superior results and an unrivaled experience.
- How does RF Microneedling work?
Microneedling works by applying sterile microneedles deep into the dermis of the skin.
These needles 1) create microscopic channels that stimulate the natural production of collagen
and 2) deliver radio-frequency heat energy at the desired depths to promote remodeling of collagen
and elastin that tightens and lifts the skin. - Does microneedling hurt?
VirtueRF is a virtually pain-free treatment. VirtueRF microneedles are driven into the skin
using the exclusive Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) system. The insertion is so exact that it
creates no tearing or trauma to the skin (unlike microneedling pens or other RF microneedling
systems that can scratch the skin causing pain, blood, and sebum in the channels, and mixed
outcomes). Your provider may apply numbing cream before the treatment for added comfort
depending on the area of concern. Another unique feature exclusive to VirtueRF is the ability to break down the RF energy into smaller sub-units so that there is no trade-off between optimal energy levels and comfort. - How long does a VirtueRF microneedling treatment take?
The length of a treatment depends on the area being treated, the handpiece being utilized, and
the protocol being followed. Typically, a full-face treatment will take 20 minutes. - How many VirtueRF microneedling treatments do I need?
Most providers will recommend a series of three to five treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for areas like the full face, neck decollete, and body. More precise applications with the handpiece may need fewer treatments. To maintain results, a treatment every six months is recommended. - What can you expect after a VirtueRF microneedling treatment?
A SmartRF treatment has no social downtime. The skin may appear red for a few hours but the exclusive post-care regimen works to soothe the skin so most will only notice a post-treatment tightening and glow to their skin. A DeepRF and ExactRF treatment should have little downtime however you may experience swelling, erythema, and light peeling along the treatment area. Micro-scabs may appear after a DeepRF procedure which is a natural response during the healing process. Discuss aftercare and any recommended adjustments to your routine with your provider. - When can you expect to see results?
A benefit of RF Microneedling is that the collagen you build is your own so results are natural, and immediate and will continue to improve with time. It can take up to 4-6 weeks until the full benefits are apparent. For best results, completing a series of treatments is highly recommended. - Who is the right candidate for VirtueRF?
VirtueRF is a truly ageless procedure. It is used as a preventative and corrective treatment for patients with light to dark skin types. It is important to talk to your provider about any concerns you might have before your VirtueRF treatment. - How many microneedling treatments will I need?
Most providers will recommend a series of three to five treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for
areas like the full face, neck, décolleté, and body. More precise applications with the handpiece
may need fewer treatments. To maintain results, a treatment every six months is recommended. - How long does microneedling last?
Virtue RF microneedling results can last for several months to several years, depending on skin type, condition, and lifestyle. After the initial series of treatments, results can last for about six months. We recommend a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart and maintenance treatments every six months to help maintain results.
