You want to maintain a youthful appearance or a glowing complexion that leaves you with smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin. However, you may also prefer a comfortable, best-in-class aesthetic experience that delivers optimal results without the standard downtime of more aggressive treatments.

Carolina Facial Plastics is happy to offer you the newest generation of FDA-approved radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment.

It combines the rejuvenating benefits of microneedling with the stimulation of radiofrequency (RF) energy to renew the skin from the inside out.

As the world’s first RF microneedling platform designed to maximize patient efficacy with its advanced interface and treatment delivery features, Virtue RF goes beyond reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

It can also address unwanted scars and improve the skin’s tone and texture. And because of its precise energy delivery, it can provide immediate results with continued improvement over time and a virtually zero downtime treatment.

Only the Virtue RF pairs every procedure with the most innovative sheet masks to help soothe the skin and eliminate redness.

The Virtue RF provides superior, natural-looking results. You will enjoy fewer lines and wrinkles on the face and neck along with a clearer, tighter, and more radiant complexion.

Virtue RF’s robotic precision delivery (RPD) uses 36 gold-coated needles to penetrate deep into the dermis (skin layer beneath the outermost layer of skin called the epidermis).

These needles create microscopic channels to deliver RF energy and help stimulate the body’s natural regenerative process.

The body’s healing response results in the remodeling of collagen and elastin, as well as other structural proteins. In effect, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and plumper from the inside out.

The Virtue RF experience also comes with a post-treatment microcurrent dual mask that calms and soothes the skin, erasing any evidence of the treatment.

You won’t see any bruising or inflammation, just bright, healthy, glowing skin.

Virtue RF provides all of the benefits of traditional microneedling but with an extra boost of RF energy.

As the non-surgical, combination procedure triggers the body’s natural healing process and promotes the remodeling of collagen and elastin, Virtue RF offers these benefits:

  • Minimizes fine lines and wrinkles
  • Tightens the skin
  • Enhances skin tone and texture
  • Improves acne scars and blemishes
  • Reduces scar tissue and stretch marks
  • Minimizes pore size
  • Results in little discomfort
  • Requires minimal downtime
  • Offers immediate and long-lasting results

At our medical spa, we can combine Virtue RF with CoolPeel (a CO2 laser) to further enhance your skin rejuvenation results.

The innovative combination is known as our Ultimate Duo and can be performed in a single session to maximize your improvement.

At Carolina Facial Plastics, we believe the ideal candidates for Virtue RF are patients who:

  • Want to minimize fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck
  • Have sagging skin, but are not candidates for a surgical facelift
  • Are looking for non-surgical treatment for unwanted scars
  • Want to improve irregular skin tone and texture
  • Are in need of preventative treatment for aging symptoms

Virtue RF is appropriate for patients of all skin types looking for a skin rejuvenating treatment that provides immediate results with no downtime.

Before your Virtue RF treatment begins, your provider will apply a numbing cream 30-45 minutes before your procedure to ensure a comfortable experience.

You might feel slight pressure from the handpiece, especially on bony areas of the face. We can adjust the settings to minimize discomfort.

You may have some redness, but the post-treatment mask that is infused with antioxidants, vitamins, moisturizers, and anti-inflammatory properties should help calm and soothe the skin.

A full-face treatment will take approximately 20 minutes to perform at our medical spa. However, treatment time can vary depending on the treatment area’s size and the overall skin condition.

You will notice some immediate results after your Virtue RF microneedling treatment.

With a series of treatments, you can expect an increased reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, and an overall improvement in skin tone and texture.

Over the next 4-6 months, your skin will look smoother, brighter, and more beautiful as the collagen continues to rebuild deep in your skin.

We often combine the Virtue RF with our Cool Peel Laser to provide the ultimate duo treatment.

These two devices are completely safe to use together and offer superior results for patients that have more advanced signs of aging or want to see more dramatic improvement in their skin.

You will begin to see improvement in tone and texture within 24-48 hours, and the results will continue to improve over the next 6 months.
