Who is the ideal patient for Virtue RF Microneedling?

Virtue RF treatment is especially effective at refining the contours of the jawline, neck, and chin. It can also be performed on the cheek area to improve tissue firmness and resiliency. Virtually any area of the body in which the skin has become loose and saggy may be improved with RF microneedling. Some patients seek Virtue RF to treat tissue laxity above the knees, on the backs of the arms, the abdomen, and the décolleté. The marked increase in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid also firms the skin in areas of cellulite, improving texture and appearance. If your skin is showing signs of laxity and wrinkles, you may be an excellent candidate for Virtue RF microneedling.

What are the benefits of Virtue RF Microneedling?

A surgical facelift works by manually repositioning tissues to recontour the chin, jawline, upper neck, and cheek areas. This technique can refresh appearance but does nothing to support the skin as the body continues to age. Virtue RF microneedling delivers many of the same benefits without the risks of surgery. Patients enjoy gradual tissue remodeling that looks like they are aging backward for a time. There is little downtime needed after Virtue RF treatment, and results can last years with a good lifestyle and skincare habits.

"The day you can throw away your concealer is a really good day! Thank you so much Lara for answering every little question about my Halo Laser procedure and guiding me through the process to end at such great results. I would 110% recommend the Halo Laser and Dr. Walker's team to manage the success process for anyone's skin rejuvenation. Lara also recommended a follow-up BBL to even out a few spots, and I am loving my results. My face is fresher, clearer, and has less fine lines, and the natural collagen boost was exactly what I needed to trash my concealer for the first time in 30 years. Thanks again!"

"Your search is over! Dr. Walker and her team, Jackie, Madison, and everyone else, are absolutely incredible. Dr. Walker's ability to listen to your personal needs and make suggestions based on her artistry and experience make her the best in my book. In our first appointment, she talked me through everything for over an hour and made me feel extremely comfortable with the whole process. Any questions or concerns I had, the team answered around the clock, since they have the office phone connected to a texting service that goes right to their phones. They never miss a single question. I cannot recommend this team enough. My results are even better than what I thought they were going to be, and I'm currently only three weeks out. I can't wait to see myself at three months! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr. Walker, for giving me a new outlook on life and a new confidence I didn't know I had. I appreciate you and your team more than you know!"

“Obsessed! The results are perfect but getting there has been just as good. It’s so important to feel comfortable and confident with the surgeon and staff. Dr. Walker made me feel so sure of our plans and Sarah Stanford, BSN, RN needs 5 stars all on her own as well. I didn’t expect to need to feel so comfortable with the nurse but she has made my experience so pleasant. The entire staff is exceptional.”

“I cannot recommend this office enough!! From the level of knowledge and understanding I received during my consultation with Dr. Walker, to the care and amazing talents of Katelyn- everything was beyond my expectations! Katelyn took her time explaining and showing me what areas would improve with treatment, but also didn’t make me feel forced with the treatment options. She spoke to me in a way that not only I could understand, but in a way that made me feel almost like a friend! I cannot rave enough about Katelyn- and will be making the drive to see her with any injections I need or want in the future, and I cannot wait to schedule my procedure with Dr. Walker. If you want a truly judgement free, woman friendly environment this is the place to go!! Also Izzy and Savannah were so friendly and helpful!!”

  • Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores. You may need to take antiviral medication before treatment.
  • Wear SPF 30 sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun exposure. Schedule a Consultation Today

What can I expect after the treatment?

You can expect some degree of redness and swell in the treatment area. You may also develop mild bruising. The risk of this side effect can be decreased by avoiding alcohol and NSAIDs for 14 days before your appointment. The minor side effects typically resolve in 4 to 6 days. 

Your normal activities may not be interrupted much during this time. You may return to most light activities as soon as you are comfortable. However, you may need to wash the treatment areas 3 to 5 times a day for up to 4 days following your session so will want to schedule accordingly.

Is the Virtue RF safe?

Microneedling and radiofrequency procedures are performed separately all the time and have been for many years. Each has been clinically proven to safely and effectively stimulate collagen production. The Virtue RF platform has combined the two to achieve more significant results more quickly. The RF energy is deposited beneath the epidermis rather than through it. The device has a temperature control feature that heats the dermis to the precise temperature at which a healing response occurs, but without the risk of burning the skin. The optimal level of dermal temperature for tissue remodeling is 152 to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature is maintained for only 3 to 4 seconds.

How many treatments are needed?

Virtue RF is intended as a single treatment procedure. In clinical studies conducted by the device manufacturer, 100% of patients showed an improvement in lines and wrinkles at six months. In a separate study, 94% of subjects showed a marked improvement in cellulite at three months post-treatment. While individual results can vary, they are expected to last several years. Patients may return for additional treatments as needed to support their aging skin.

What Happens During the Procedure?

Your Virtue RF Microneedling treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your objectives and plan your session. On the day of the procedure, we first apply a numbing cream to maximize comfort. 

Once your skin is prepped, we gently pass the Virtue RF device over the targeted area. The handpiece uses fine, gold-tipped microneedles to create controlled micro-injuries while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the skin.

Most patients describe the sensation as just a light pressure. The treatment is typically 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas. After the session, a soothing mask or serum may be applied to calm the skin and enhance results.

Virtue RF Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

How soon can I expect to see results from Virtue RF?

Some patients notice a healthy glow and improved skin texture within a few days of their first treatment. However, the most noticeable results typically develop gradually over four to six weeks.

How long do results last?

Results from Virtue RF can last 6-12 months or more, depending on skin condition, lifestyle, and how well you maintain your results.

Is Virtue RF safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, Virtue RF is safe and well-tolerated for most skin types, including sensitive skin. The treatment is customizable, allowing your provider to adjust settings based on your skin’s needs and tolerance. A consultation helps ensure that Virtue RF is the right fit for your skin type and goals.

How should I care for my skin after Virtue RF?

After treatment, it’s important to keep your skin clean, hydrated, and protected. Avoid makeup, sun exposure, and strenuous activity for the first 24 hours. Use a gentle cleanser and avoid products with retinoids or acids for several days. Apply sunscreen daily to protect your healing skin.

Can I get Virtue RF if I’ve had fillers or BOTOX?

Yes, Virtue RF is compatible with other aesthetic treatments, including fillers and BOTOX. However, your provider will typically schedule your Virtue RF treatment at least one to two weeks after injectables to allow for proper healing and to avoid interfering with the results.

How can I maintain the results from Virtue RF?

To maintain your results, follow a tailored skincare regimen that includes hydrating serums, medical-grade sunscreen, and, if necessary, collagen-supporting products. Periodic maintenance treatments combined with a healthy lifestyle can help preserve and enhance your outcomes over time.
