VirtueRF Microneedling
MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIO FREQUENCY
Virtue RF microneedling is an advanced skincare treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance skin rejuvenation. This procedure uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin while delivering RF energy to deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture, tone, and tightness. Suitable for various areas of the face and body, Virtue RF microneedling offers minimal downtime with results that gradually improve over weeks, making it an effective option for achieving firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

How Does VirtueRF Microneedling Works?
Virtue RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate the skin. During the treatment, fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy to deeper layers. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting skin tightening and improving texture and tone. The procedure is minimally invasive, involves little downtime, and is effective for reducing wrinkles, scars, and sagging skin, making it a versatile option for enhancing overall skin appearance.
Understanding
The Science
Behind Virtue Results
Collagen and Elastin Stimulation
Virtue RF microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. This process triggers the body's natural healing response, which involves the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Collagen and elastin are essential proteins that provide structure, strength, and elasticity to the skin. As the body repairs these micro-injuries, it increases collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. Over time, the increased collagen and elastin help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Radiofrequency Energy for Skin Tightening
The addition of radiofrequency (RF) energy to the microneedling process enhances its effectiveness by delivering heat to the deeper layers of the skin. This RF energy stimulates the production of collagen and elastin at a deeper level than microneedling alone. The heat also causes immediate tightening of the skin by contracting existing collagen fibers. This dual action—immediate skin tightening and long-term collagen remodeling—results in a more pronounced and longer-lasting improvement in skin laxity, texture, and overall appearance.
Enhanced Skin Penetration and Healing
The microchannels created by the needles during Virtue RF microneedling allow for better absorption of topical skincare products applied during and after the procedure. This enhanced penetration means that active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and vitamins, can reach deeper layers of the skin, boosting their efficacy. Additionally, the controlled injuries and RF energy stimulate a robust healing response, leading to increased blood flow and nutrient delivery to the treated areas. This accelerated healing process helps to rejuvenate the skin, making it look healthier and more radiant.
