An advanced, minimally invasive treatment that pairs radiofrequency energy with microneedling to refresh skin texture, tone, and firmness.
What is VirtueRF Microneedling?
VirtueRF is a next-generation treatment that combines classic microneedling with targeted radiofrequency (RF) energy. As ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-injuries at the surface, RF heat safely penetrates deeper layers—nudging your skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin. The result? Firmer, smoother, more refined skin with improved tone and bounce.
Great for: face, neck, hands, and body.
How It Works (and Why It’s Different)
- Precision microneedles make micro-channels at customizable depths.
- RF energy flows through those needles to gently heat the dermis.
- Your skin responds by remodeling collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
This dual action tightens laxity, softens fine lines, evens texture, and can visibly reduce the look of acne scars, stretch marks, and sun damage.
Benefits You Can See
- Noticeable skin tightening and lifted look (hello, jawline and jowls)
- Softer fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoother texture and refined pores
- More even tone with improved radiance
- Diminished acne scars and stretch marks
- Suitable for multiple areas: face, neck, hands, and body
What to Expect on Treatment Day
- Before: Skin is cleansed; a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
- During: You’ll feel light pressure/heat as the device passes over each zone.
- After: Mild redness and swelling are common (think light sunburn) and typically settle within 24–72 hours. Tiny pinpoint spots or minimal bruising can occur and fade quickly.
Most people return to normal activities shortly after. Makeup is often okay the next day—follow your provider’s guidance.
When You’ll See Results
Collagen takes time to remodel. You may notice early brightness within a couple of weeks, with best results appearing around 8–12 weeks as new collagen strengthens and tightens. For transformative outcomes, many providers recommend a series (commonly 3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart), with maintenance as needed.
Is There Downtime or Side Effects?
VirtueRF is generally well-tolerated. Temporary effects can include:
- Redness and mild swelling
- Small pinpoint bleeding
- Tenderness or minor bruising
Your provider will share tailored aftercare to keep skin calm and protected while it heals.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
You may be a strong fit if you’re noticing:
- Mild to moderate laxity (loose skin or early jowling)
- Fine lines, wrinkles, or rough texture
- Sun damage, acne scarring, or overall dullness
A quick note: If you’re pregnant, have active skin infections, are prone to abnormal scarring, or have implanted electronic devices (e.g., pacemaker), you may need to avoid RF treatments. Always consult a qualified provider.

Simple Aftercare Tips
- Keep it gentle: Use a mild cleanser and hydrating, fragrance-free moisturizer.

- Skip the “spicy” stuff: Pause retinoids, acids, scrubs, and high-heat workouts for 24–48 hours (or as advised).
- Hands off: Avoid picking or rubbing treated skin.
Your provider may recommend soothing serums and a short “active-free” routine to support recovery.
