New Year, New Skin: 5 Reasons to Try Virtue RF Microneedling

New Year, New Skin: 5 Reasons to Try Virtue RF Microneedling

Ready to start a fresh, new year in skin that looks and feels refreshed and renewed, too? With a series of Virtue RF microneedling treatments, our team at Keehan Dermatology can restore and rebuild your collagen structures to foster long-lasting skin rejuvenation that works to: 

No matter what your specific skin type or cosmetic concern, Virtue RF microneedling can give you a major, all-natural “skin reset” that leaves you with a healthy, youthful glow — and boosts your self-confidence — as you head into the new year. 

In this month’s blog, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Patrick Keehan explains how it works and offers five reasons to give it a try today.  

What is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling?

Radiofrequency microneedling combines two powerful skin renewal techniques into a single, highly advanced skin rejuvenation treatment: microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, and deep-penetrating thermal radiofrequency (RF) energy.

The Virtue RF device has tiny, sterile microneedles that create small “microchannels” across the skin surface (epidermis). These specially insulated needles also deliver high-intensity RF energy into the deeper dermal tissues beneath the epidermal surface.  

Both these actions — surface “micro-injury” creation and targeted deep tissue heating — prompt an immediate and sustained increase in the production of collagen and elastin, the primary protein building blocks of healthy, youthful skin. 

Five reasons to try Virtue RF microneedling

For a fresh-faced start to the new year, Virtue RF microneedling restores collagen and elastin structures to deliver firmer, smoother skin — trading fine lines, dark spots, minor scars, large pores, and dry, flaky dullness for glowing, youthful skin. 

Here are five good reasons to see what it can do for you:  

1. Long-lasting collagen renewal 

By creating controlled micro-injuries with tiny needles and delivering RF heat into the deep dermal layers, Virtue RF microneedling significantly boosts your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, triggering a cascade-like process that builds on itself for sustained, long-lasting skin renewal. 

The result? You can expect tighter, firmer, smoother, and more resilient skin that feels healthy and looks noticeably younger for many months at a time. 

2. Improved skin tone and texture

Virtue RF microneedling is highly effective at renewing and refining your skin’s surface. It can help smooth out rough patches, tighten large pores, even out dark spots and other areas of hyperpigmentation, and improve sun damage, leaving your skin more uniform and radiant.

3. Versatile treatment applications

The Virtue RF platform by Cartessa™ has three precision handpieces to address a full range of skin concerns: the Smart RF handpiece treats the face, décolleté (upper chest), and hands; the Deep RF handpiece tightens and smooths skin on the body, and the Exact RF handpiece treats delicate skin areas around your mouth, eyes, and jawline. 

This versatility means that Virtue RF microneedling can be fully customized to treat a wide variety of cosmetic skin issues on your face, neck, décolleté, hands, and body — from fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots to acne scars, stretch marks, and mild to moderate laxity.

4. Painless skin renewal with no downtime

As a minimally invasive procedure, Virtue RF microneedling offers significant skin renewal results without the need for surgery or extended recovery. Its innovative dual technology platform uses an advanced robotic precision delivery (RPD) system to ensure a fast, gentle, and painless treatment process from start to finish.  

While you may experience mild skin redness and/or swelling for a few hours after your treatment session, you can also expect a quick (if not immediate) return to your usual daily activities.

5. Safe and effective for all skin types 

Unlike some other cosmetic laser treatments, Virtue RF microneedling technology uses gold-plated, insulated needles and fully adjustable, precision settings that make it safe and effective for all skin tones and types. If you have a darker skin tone, you don’t have to worry about the risk of hyperpigmentation (skin discoloration).
