1. How does RF Microneedling work?
Microneedling works by applying sterile microneedles deep into the dermis of the skin. These needles
1) Create microscopic channels that 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.
2. What makes VirtueRF a virtually 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). Your provider may apply numbing cream prior to the treatment for added comfort depending on the area of concern.
3. 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.
4. What can you expect after a treatment?
One of the key benefits of a VirtueRF 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 soothe 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, it’s always important to use sun protection.
5. 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.
6. 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 VirtueRF treatment.
7. 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.
8. What does it mean to be a “platform” RF microneedling system?
Unique to the VirtueRF system is that it has the capacity for multiple hand pieces increasing the number of areas, depths and concerns that can be addressed in one treatment session.
