Lift, Tighten, Smooth
Virtue RF is an FDA-cleared device that couples microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This potent combination rejuvenates skin by triggering the natural production of collagen, the essential structural protein that keeps skin firm and smooth.
Microneedling with RF energy can improve a range of skin concerns, including:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- large pore size
- uneven skin texture
- laxity
- scars
- acne scars
- stretch marks
Virtue RF can minimize and prevent signs of aging, helping skin look and act more youthful.
Smart RF 36-needle
The Smart RF 36-needle handpiece treats the face, hands, and decolleté.
Deep RF 36-needle
The Deep RF 36-needle handpiece has a cooling plate, making it better for body treatments.
Exact RF single-needle
The Exact RF single-needle handpiece precisely targets small, delicate areas, like around the mouth, jawline, and eyes (to address concerns like eye bags).
The difference is in the detail
What sets Virtue RF apart from similar devices is the tolerability of the treatment. “There are many RF microneedling devices on the market, but the difference is in the details. “Virtue RF offers minimal pain with maximum benefit because of how the handpiece is designed: The needles very smoothly glide into the skin, providing the patient with maximum comfort.”
Collagen and elastin production declines by about 1.0%–1.5% a year from early adulthood, as the fibroblast cells that produce these essential proteins become less active. Sun exposure can aggravate this. To help your skin look its most youthful (and protect the investments you make to keep it that way), wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30+ every day.
Key Benefits of Virtue RF
A robotic precision delivery (RPD) system inserts the needles into the skin precisely so they don’t tear or traumatize it. This helps prevent the textural problems that can sometimes happen with similar treatments.
The insulated needles ensure that only the deepest layers of the skin are heated. This helps protect the top layer of the skin from unnecessary damage, minimizing downtime and decreasing discomfort. This also helps protect patients with olive, brown, or deep skin tones from complications like hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
Answers
Q: How does Virtue RF treatment work?
A: The Virtue RF device delivers radiofrequency using microneedling. Tiny needles create microchannels that trigger a wound-healing reaction, which produces new collagen.
Q: Is it Painful?
A: The Virtue RF is one of the most comfortable devices on the market. While there may be mild discomfort, it is minimized by the measures taken to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Q: What is the downtime?
A: Downtime will vary depending on the individual. You can expect mild swelling, particularly around the eyes, a day or two following the procedure. Redness may last a few days to a week but typically can be easily covered with makeup.
Q: How long until I see results?
A: You will start to see tissue tightening and brightening with a reduced appearance of pore size within a few weeks. However, the full benefit of the series will not be complete for several months. Full results should become apparent 3 to 6 months after your final treatment, once the new collagen and elastin have had time to develop.
Q: Where can Virtue RF be done?
A: While it’s most commonly performed on the face, neck, and decolleté, Virtue can be used anywhere on the body, including the arms, abdomen, glutes, and thighs.
