Virtue RF microneedling is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses advanced technology to rejuvenate the skin. This treatment is used to tighten the skin and increase collagen production and skin elasticity. It has also proven to significantly improve the appearance of skin texture, tone, pigment, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores.

Virtue RF microneedling works by first gently pricking your skin with tiny sterile needles into the deep layers of skin tissue. These micro-injuries encourage the healing process of your skin which in turn, increases collagen production. Collagen is a special protein found in the body responsible for skin health, joint health, and skin elasticity. Unfortunately, as you age, your skin loses collagen which can lead to the development of drooping skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. By stimulating collagen your skin will become healthier and more youthful-looking. Once these micro-injuries have been completed, the Virtue RF device will deliver radiofrequency waves to the targeted areas. These waves of energy promote further collagen production and skin elasticity.

This type of microneedling has proven to be incredibly safe for all skin types. The best candidates for Virtue RF microneedling are those who are in overall good health and are experiencing early signs of aging. Talk to your skin specialist or primary care physician about any concerns you may have regarding a preexisting condition that may interfere with your results. Those with the following skin concerns may want to consider a Virtue RF microneedling treatment:

• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• Stretch marks
• Acne scars
• Large pores
• Scars from injury
• Cellulite
• Hyperpigmentation
• Loose skin
• Drooping skin
• Hyperhidrosis

You may think that because this treatment involves micro-injuries it could hurt. Thankfully, this treatment is pain-free and minimally invasive! The cutting-edge technology used in Virtue RF microneedling prevents any pain or discomfort from occurring. If you have skin sensitivities, let your specialist know beforehand to help avoid slight discomfort. Though it is often not necessary, you may apply a topical numbing cream to the skin before the treatment begins.

The Virtue RF microneedling total treatment takes about 90 minutes. There is a 30 min. numbing process and then 30-60 minutes of treatment depending upon how much surface area is being covered. Right after your treatment, you will be able to notice a significant improvement in facial texture, tone, and overall appearance. These results will slowly get better over time and last anywhere from a few months to a few years. The best way to achieve long-lasting microneedling results is by booking treatments once every month. After a series of about 4 sessions, we recommend you keep up with maintenance appointments once every few months.
