Additional Information

How does 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 I 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.

Is Virtue RF painful?

No, it’s very comfortable. Virtue RF 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. 

How many treatments will I need?

We 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 to expect after your 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.  We recommend no make-up for 24hrs and of course, its always important to use sun protection.
