Before Your Treatment

Avoid Sun Exposure
Refrain from direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least 1-2 weeks prior to treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily.

Discontinue Certain Skincare Products
Stop using retinoids, exfoliating acids (glycolic or salicylic acids), and Vitamin C serums for 5-7 days before your appointment. Avoid chemical peels or laser treatments on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks.

No Blood Thinners
Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g., fish oil, Vitamin E) for 5-7 days before your treatment unless directed otherwise by a healthcare provider.

Hydrate
Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating moisturizer in the days leading up to your treatment.

Clean Skin
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or sunscreen on the day of your treatment.

Discuss Medical History
Notify your provider of any medical conditions, medications, or recent treatments, and let them know if you have a history of cold sores (antiviral medication may be prescribed).

During Your Treatment

Preparation
Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to enhance your comfort. Numbing typically takes 30-45 minutes.

The VirtueRF Microneedling Procedure
The device uses fine needles and radiofrequency (RF) energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
The treatment is customized to your skin concerns, targeting areas like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity.

Sensation
You may feel a mild prickling or warming sensation during the procedure. Most patients find the treatment tolerable due to the numbing cream.

Duration
The procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Aftercare Provided
Post-treatment soothing serums or recovery masks may be applied to calm and hydrate the skin.

After Your Treatment

Protect Your Skin
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.

Hydrate and Soothe
Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to support healing and minimize dryness.

Avoid Harsh Products
Refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products for 7-10 days after treatment.

Avoid Heat and Sweating
Avoid hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 48 hours to prevent irritation.

Do Not Pick or Scrub
Mild redness, swelling, or a sandpaper-like texture may occur. Let your skin heal naturally without picking or scrubbing.

Follow Provider Instructions
Use any post-treatment products or aftercare recommendations provided by your practitioner.

Expected Results

Immediate Improvements
You may notice an initial glow and tighter skin within a few days as swelling subsides.

Gradual Enhancements
Over the next 4-6 weeks, collagen production increases, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity.

Treatment Frequency

Recommended Series
A series of 3-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is typically recommended for optimal results.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is VirtueRF microneedling, and how is it different from traditional microneedling?

VirtueRF combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance collagen and elastin production at deeper layers of the skin. This advanced technology not only improves skin texture and tone but also tightens the skin, offering superior results compared to traditional microneedling.

What skin concerns can VirtueRF microneedling treat?

VirtueRF is highly effective for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and mild skin laxity. It can also improve overall skin tone and stimulate long-lasting rejuvenation.

Is there downtime after VirtueRF microneedling?

One of the benefits of VirtueRF is its minimal downtime. Most clients experience mild redness or swelling for 1-2 days, similar to a light sunburn. Many people feel comfortable returning to their normal activities the same day or the next.

How many VirtueRF sessions will I need?

While noticeable improvements can occur after one session, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Your provider will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
