VirtueRF Microneedling 

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that firms and tightens the skin using the body’s natural healing processes. Adding radiofrequency (RF) energy through the needles extends the benefits deeper. VirtueRF microneedling, available at our Latham, New York, practice, is a versatile option that has 3 specialized handpieces, making skin rejuvenation easy, safe, effective, and comfortable. Whether you choose SmartRF for the face, DeepRF for the body, or ExactRF for delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, our experienced team will personalize your treatment to give you exceptional results without pain or downtime. 

How Does VirtueRF Work? 

Traditional microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin that increase collagen and elastin production to increase firmness and elasticity. RF microneedling, like Secret™ RF, releases RF energy from the needles to reach deeper tissues, remodeling existing collagen and elastin for a tightening and lifting effect. VirtueRF is an advanced RF microneedling platform that adjusts the depth of needle penetration and the level of RF energy to maximize its rejuvenating effects while minimizing pain and trauma.  

SmartRF for the Face and Neck 

The SmartRF applicator has 36 fine needles to achieve the following benefits on the face, neck, décolletage, and backs of the hands: 

• Correct fine lines and wrinkles  

• Improve tone and texture  

• Reduce mild laxity 

This treatment ends with a complimentary Microcurrent Dual Face Mask to soothe the skin and speed results. First, a wet mask applies antioxidants, vitamins, and anti-inflammatories. Then, a dry mask uses patented Tissue X™ microcurrent technology to help the wet mask ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin. 

Treatment protocol: 3 to 5 treatments, each spaced 4 weeks apart 

What Is the Ultimate Duo? 

The Ultimate Duo pairs SmartRF with HELIX CoolPeel

. This combination treatment provides deep, long-lasting skin rejuvenation from the surface to its deeper structures to correct pigment, redness, wrinkles, tone, and texture. We perform SmartRF and CoolPeel one after the other in a single visit. 

Treatment protocol: 3 treatments, each spaced 4 weeks apart. 

DeepRF for the Body 

The DeepRF applicator is for larger areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, back of legs, and buttocks. It delivers a more intense treatment that penetrates deep into the skin. It has a cooling plate to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment. 

Treatment protocol: 3 to 5 treatments, each spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart 

What Is BodyRight? 

For a dramatic transformation of the abdomen, arms, or thighs, we can combine a series of DeepRF and PHYSIQ 360 nonsurgical body contouring treatments called BodyRight. This combination treatment improves contours layer by layer by firming and tightening the skin, reducing subcutaneous fat, and toning muscles. 

ExactRF for Delicate Areas 

ExactRF is a single-needle handpiece that treats delicate areas under the eyes, eye bags, festoons, jawline, and vertical lip lines. This treatment includes a complimentary soothing eye mask at the end of the treatment.  

Treatment protocol: 2 to 3 treatments, each spaced 6 weeks apart 

Am I a VirtueRF Candidate? 

Candidates for VirtueRF are adults of all ages, skin types, and tones who want to address any of the following concerns on the face and body: 

• Fine lines and wrinkles 

• Scars 

• Mild to moderate laxity 

• Uneven tone and texture 

• Enlarged pores 

The specialized applicators make treating large and small areas quick and easy. 

What Are VirtueRF Treatments Like? 

Before your treatment, your provider will prepare the skin with the VirtueRF compounded numbing cream. Once the skin is numb, they will cleanse it and perform the treatment by placing the handpiece on it, activating the needles and RF energy, then moving to the adjacent skin until the entire area is treated.   

VirtueRF’s Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) technology minimizes discomfort by ensuring smooth, precise needle insertion. Additionally, the system breaks down the RF energy into smaller subunits for minimal discomfort. 

To enhance your results and speed recovery, you can complete your treatment with ExoCR topical exosomes for an additional fee. The tiny punctures from the treatment allow ExoCR’s regenerative substances to reach the deeper layers of the skin. 

What To Expect After Your Treatment 

VirtueRF treatments require no downtime. Treated areas may be mildly red and swollen for the first few hours or days, depending on the specifics of the treatment. 

Hold off on applying skincare products and makeup for the first 24 hours (unless directed otherwise by your provider) to allow the skin punctures to seal. 

See Results 

While many patients notice improved radiance, it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the skin to firm and tighten as collagen rebuilds.
