Treatment
Virtue RF Microneedling
What It Is
Virtue RF combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver controlled thermal injury deep within the dermis. This dual-action approach stimulates robust collagen and elastin production while the microneedles create microchannels that enhance product absorption and trigger the body’s natural wound-healing cascade.
What It Treats
Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, enlarged pores, skin laxity, stretch marks, uneven texture, and overall skin quality. Virtue RF is effective on the face, neck, décolletage, and body areas where skin tightening and textural improvement are desired.
Who It’s For
Patients seeking significant skin rejuvenation with moderate downtime. Ideal for those with acne scarring, premature aging, skin laxity, or anyone wanting to elevate their overall skin quality. Safe for all skin types year-round.
Before Your Visit
Discontinue retinoids and active exfoliants five days prior. Avoid blood-thinning supplements and medications 48 hours before treatment. Begin using Plated Intense Serum two weeks prior to prime the skin for accelerated healing.
After Your Visit
Expect redness and mild swelling for two to four days, similar to a moderate sunburn. Keep skin clean and hydrated with a gentle barrier product. Apply Plated Intense Serum once redness subsides (typically day two). Avoid makeup, active ingredients, and sun exposure for 72 hours minimum.
Recommended Product
Plated Intense Serum — the gold standard post-microneedling product. Begin two weeks prior and resume on day two post-treatment for enhanced collagen synthesis.
Provider Tip
The microchannels created during Virtue RF remain open for approximately four hours post-treatment. This is the optimal window for applying growth factor serums like Plated Intense to maximize penetration and results.
Supplement Support
Nutrafol Multivitamin for systemic support of skin healing, plus medical-grade sunscreen daily during the recovery period.
