How does RF Microneedling work?

Microneedling works by applying sterile microneedles deep into the dermis of the skin. These needles

1. create microscopic channels deep within the dermis to 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. 

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, immediate and will continue to improve with time.  It can take up to 4-6 weeks until the full benefits are apparent.

What makes VirtueRF a vitrually 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).  Typically, your provider will apply numbing cream prior to the treatment depending on the area of concern for added comfort. 

What can you expect after a treatment?

One of the key benefits of a Virtue treatment is that there is no social downtime.  The skin may appear red for a few hours but the exclusive post-care regimen works to sooth the skin so most will only notice a post-treatment tightening and glow to their skin.  Your provider may recommend no make-up for 24hrs and of course, its always important to use sun protection.  

How long does a VirtueRF treatment take?

The length of a treatment depends on the area being treated and the protocol being followed.  Typically, a full face treatment will take 20 minutes. 

Who is the right candidate for VirtueRF?

VirtueRF is a truly ageless procedure.  It is used as a preventative and a 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 Virtue RF treatment. 

What areas of the body can be treated?

The VirtueRF system has the capacity for multiple handpieces to optimize treatments in specific areas.  

How many treatments will I need?

Most providers will recommend a series of three to four treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. To maintain results, a treatment every six months is recommended.  

What is VirtueRF’s post treatment?

Only the VirtueRF pairs every treatment with the most innovative sheet mask technology available – Microcurrent Dual Face Mask . The unique dual-mask system uses patented Tissue X™ microcurrent technology to deliver skin soothing ingredients deeper into the skin.  Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, it eliminates redness and optimizes the post-RF microneedling healing. 

The wet mask Immediately soothes the skin with: 

• Sodium Hyaluronate  
• Aloe Vera Extract 
• Caffeine 

The dry mask is woven with scientifically proven, Tissue X™ technology uses differences in ions to generate a microcurrent without the use of separate devices, electricity or metals.

What is my recovery time?

One of the main benefits of a CoolPeel^®, is that there is minimal downtime.
