Virtue RF Microneedling – Advanced Skin Rejuvenation at BodyLase Med Spa Clayton

Experience the next generation of non-surgical skin rejuvenation at BodyLase.

Aging, sun exposure, and stress can gradually lead to collagen loss, wrinkles, and other hard-to-avoid skin concerns. Virtue RF Microneedling provides a solution for those seeking smoother, tighter skin with minimal discomfort and downtime. This advanced treatment combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to boost collagen production, refine texture, and revitalize your appearance.

What Is Virtue RF Microneedling?

The Science of RF + Microneedling

Virtue RF Microneedling is an innovative aesthetic treatment that combines two clinically proven technologies: microneedling and radiofrequency energy. Tiny gold-plated needles penetrate the skin to create microchannels, triggering the body’s natural healing response. At the same time, RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, boosting collagen and elastin production more effectively than microneedling alone.

This dual-action process results in tighter, firmer, smoother skin, with less pain and faster recovery than traditional resurfacing treatments.

How Virtue RF Works

Virtue RF treatment uses state-of-the-art precision technology to ensure uniform needle penetration and consistent RF energy distribution. This controlled technique reduces the risk of damage and makes the experience virtually pain-free. Most clients describe the treatment as a mild tingling or warm sensation.

Benefits of Virtue RF Microneedling

While microneedling alone offers visible improvements, adding RF energy significantly amplifies the benefits. Here’s how Virtue RF Microneedling transforms your skin from within:

Boosts Collagen & Elastin for Firmer Skin

The micro-injuries created by the needles, combined with the deep heat from RF energy, stimulate collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance over time.

Improves Skin Texture, Tone & Reduces Scars/Wrinkles

Virtue RF minimizes the look of fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scars by remodeling the skin at a cellular level. It also helps even out hyperpigmentation and dullness, revealing a brighter, more refined complexion.

Safe for All Skin Tones

Unlike some laser treatments, Virtue RF is safe for all skin types, including deeper tones. The microneedles and RF energy bypass the top layers of the skin, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or damage to melanin-rich skin.

Virtually Pain-Free Experience

Developed with RPD (Robotic Precision Delivery) technology, Virtue RF creates exact incisions that avoid trauma to the skin. Most clients describe the treatment as having a mild warming or tingling sensation.

Minimal Downtime

You can return to your day within hours. Redness typically fades within 24–48 hours, and makeup can usually be reapplied the next day.

Versatile for Face & Body

Virtue RF isn’t just for the face. Designed with three specialized handpieces, it can be used on the neck, chest, décolleté, hands, abdomen, and even delicate areas like around the eyes and jawline.n care professional will review what to expect after your treatment based on the type of peel you received. In most cases, you can expect your skin to peel over a period of 7-10 days.

Ideal Candidates for Virtue RF Microneedling

Virtue RF is suitable for a wide range of clients. If you’re looking to improve skin texture, firm up aging skin, or address acne scars and stretch marks, you’re likely a great candidate.

You may benefit from Virtue RF if you:

• Have a darker skin tone
• Want to reduce fine lines or early signs of aging
• Struggle with uneven skin tone or texture
• Have acne scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Have mild to moderate skin laxity (loose skin)
• Want to treat stretch marks or scarring
• Prefer a non-invasive option with minimal downtime

What to Expect During Your Virtue RF Microneedling Treatment

Knowing what to expect before, during, and after your treatment helps ensure the best possible results with minimal downtime.

Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare

To maximize the effectiveness of Virtue RF and minimize potential side effects, follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 3 days before treatment
• Stop using retinol, glycolic acid, and vitamin C serums 3–5 days prior
• Refrain from taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin unless prescribed
• Hydrate well and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin
• Let your provider know about any recent cosmetic procedures or active skin conditions

During the Treatment: What It Feels Like

Each session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most clients describe the experience as tolerable, often noting a mild tingling or heat sensation.

Thanks to Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) and the use of a topical numbing cream, Virtue RF is designed for comfort, even in sensitive areas.

Your provider will select from one of three specialized handpieces:

• SmartRF – Ideal for the face, neck, and hands
• DeepRF – Designed for body areas like the abdomen, thighs, and glutes
• ExactRF – Effective for small, delicate zones such as under the eyes or along the jawline and mouth

Aftercare & Recovery: Minimal Downtime

While downtime is minimal, proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and results. Here’s what to expect post-treatment:

• Redness and mild swelling for 12–48 hours
• Skin may feel warm or tight immediately after
• Avoid sun exposure for at least 3 days post-treatment
• Do not apply makeup for the first 24 hours
• Keep skin clean and hydrated, avoiding harsh products
• Resist the urge to touch, scratch, or pick at your skin

Following these aftercare steps ensures faster recovery and reduces the risk of irritation or pigmentation.

Virtue RF Microneedling Results

When Will You See Results?

Some clients notice initial improvements—like smoother texture and a subtle glow—within the first few weeks. However, collagen remodeling takes time, so full results become visible over 3 to 6 months.

Virtue RF delivers cumulative benefits. For optimal results, we typically recommend:

• 3 to 5 treatment sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
• Maintenance treatments every 6 months

Consistent treatments help maintain firmer, more even-toned skin over time.
