Fine Lines, Scars, and Texture: What Virtue RF Microneedling Actually Does

• Virtue combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate your skin’s own collagen production.
• It treats fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, enlarged pores, and uneven tone and texture, and it works well across all skin tones and types.
• A full face typically takes about 20 minutes, with little to no downtime.
• Full benefits appear over 4 to 6 weeks, and a series of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended for the best outcome.

Virtue pairs two technologies in one treatment. Microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, and radiofrequency energy flows through those needles as they work.

Those tiny injuries set off your body’s natural healing process, and the RF energy stimulates rapid healing. The result is increased collagen production. Because the collagen you build is your own, your results look natural.

Virtue is used for a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and other scarring
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven tone, texture, and discoloration
• Eye bags
• Thinning skin and wrinkles in older clients

It can be used on the full face, neck, décolleté, and body. It also works well across all skin tones and types, including darker skin types.

With Virtue, the microneedles are driven into the skin by an exclusive Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) system. The insertion is so exact that it creates no tearing or trauma to the skin.

That’s the key difference from microneedling pens and some other RF microneedling systems, which can scratch the skin, causing pain, blood, and sebum in the channels, and mixed outcomes.

Virtue can also break its RF energy into smaller sub-units, so there’s no trade-off between optimal energy levels and your comfort.

Comfort is built into the treatment. We numb the treatment area beforehand with a prescription-strength numbing ointment, and Virtue’s settings are fully customizable for comfort.

Between the numbing, the precise needle insertion, and the adjustable settings, Virtue is designed to be a virtually pain-free treatment.

Treatment time depends on the area being treated, the handpiece used, and the protocol being followed. A full face typically takes about 20 minutes.

Afterward, there’s little to no downtime. Some redness and swelling right after treatment is normal, and it usually settles within a few days, so you can get back to your normal routine with minimal interruption.

Most clients see initial results within a few weeks, with full benefits appearing over 4 to 6 weeks. Because your skin keeps building new collagen in the background, improvements in texture, firmness, and overall tone continue over time.

Results vary from person to person. How long they hold depends on your skin and how well you protect it afterward with sunscreen and a good skincare routine.

A series of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended for the best outcome. For areas like the full face, neck, décolleté, and body, sessions are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. More precise applications with the handpiece may need fewer treatments.

To maintain your results, a treatment every six months is recommended.

Virtue is one of several skin resurfacing options at Bella Viságe. Virtue and CO2 Laser Resurfacing rebuild collagen from within to treat fine lines, scarring, and texture. MoveoGlo, SmoothGlo, IPL, Pico Laser, and Carbon Laser Peel focus on pigment, redness, and dullness.

Some concerns call for more than one. Our real client results include texture softening and acne scarring repair with Virtue RF Microneedling, plus a “turkey neck” repair that paired Virtue RF with CoolPeel.

Every Virtue plan starts with a complimentary, in-person consultation with one of our Nurse Practitioners.

During that visit, we talk through your goals, examine your skin, and go over your medical history. Then we build a treatment plan around you, with clear pricing and payment options, before you commit to anything.
