Beautiful skin is your virtue.

VirtueRF, the world's first RF microneedling platform, caters to a wide range of skin types with customized treatments, providing exceptional results with minimal downtime. It combines RF energy and microneedling to tighten and tone the body, sculpt the jawline, and rejuvenate the skin!

One of the primary reasons to choose Virtue RF over other RFMN devices is your COMFORT. Gillie and her team spent a great deal of time researching and trying many devices.  Most were very painful and cause patients get frustrated as they spend a great deal of money on them and cannot even return for their follow ups. Gillie wanted to provide amazing results with minimal pain and Virtue RF does just that.

It is also highly customizable, carries minimal downtime, and the results are phenomenal! 

Prior to the procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area (if needed) to reduce your discomfort. The Virtue RF handpiece will be moved across your treated area(s) slowly puncturing the skin with amazing robotic technology. While the needles are in the skin, they will emit RF energy from their tips to the dermis. You may feel light pressure from the device or a slight sting,  but there’s minimal pain during the treatment as most of the gold needles are insulated.  A few passes will be performed based on the area as well as the goal of outcome.

As most of the energy and wound is created beneath the skin, the skin's reaction after treatment is typically minimal. Most patients experience some redness and mild swelling. The skin may have a blotchy appearance or some mild pinpoint bleeding.  One of the best features of this treatment, is the minimal visible downtime.  If you are interested in expediting your healing and maximizing your results, talk with us about adding platelet derived growth factors or PRP to your treatment!

• Discontinue all products containing retinol for at least 5 days, and limit sun exposure for 2-4 weeks prior to procedure.  
• Refrain from applying self-tanner for at least 1 week prior.  
• Please arrive to your appointment with clean skin.  

After radiofrequency microneedling, you should take care of your skin to promote healing and minimize further irritation:  

• Avoid sun exposure: Keep your skin out of the sun for at least 2 weeks, and wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day! Pavise is an excellent choice.
• Avoid makeup: Don't wear makeup for at least 24 hours.  When you start wearing makeup, remember you have little microwounds in your skin and be mindful of introducing bacteria. Do not use old makeup sponges or brushes.  Use a clean hand instead to apply all makeup for at least 5-7 days.
• Avoid hot temperatures: Hot showers and baths can strip your skin of natural oils and damage the wounded tissue.  Don't use saunas, steam rooms, or other heat treatments for at least 24 hours.  
• Avoid touching your skin: Picking at your skin can disrupt healing and lead to infection.   
• Use a gentle cleanser: Wash your skin gently with a cleanser free of harsh chemicals or scents.  Brands we prefer are Avene Extremely Gentle, CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Cleanser, etc. 
• Avoid using exfoliating skin care: Avoid applying ‘active’ ingredients or exfoliants to skin for 3-5 days- this includes benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), retinol, Retin-A, tretinoin, adapalene, scrubs, and alcohol-based toners.
• Use a moisturizer often: Keep your skin hydrated with an oil-free moisturizer.   We recommend Avene Cicalfate or Obagi REBALANCE.
• Avoid intense exercise: Don't exercise strenuously for at least 24 hours.  
• If you experience swelling: Intermittent cool compresses are ok and over the counter antihistamines such as Zyrtec may be taken daily and Benadryl at bedtime. (Use as directed.)
• Sleep on your back: Elevate your head to help minimize swelling.  Sleeping on an extra pillow for a few days may reduce morning swelling post procedure.
• Protect your investment: We cannot stress enough how important it is to protect your investment and to continue to improve your skin at home.  Medical-grade home skin care products should include a potent topical antioxidant with growth factors:  we love plated INTENSE Serum or Clinical Skin Polypeptide Firming Serum, no less than 30 SPF+ sunscreen daily, a lipid repair moisturizer such as Obagi Luxe or the Intensive Nourishing Cream by Epionce, and an exfoliant such as tretinoin, retinol, or similar.  If you are interested in simplifying this regimen, consider a line such as Defenage that can be performed in two steps and help you reach many goals.
• Scheduling: Your next Virtue RF treatment can typically be scheduled 6-8 weeks apart. 
• Remember: This treatment works by building your own collagen and elastin OVER TIME.  It is not an instant result and full outcome will develop over 3-6 months after each session.  The best results take time to achieve a beautiful and natural outcome.
