What is the Difference Between RF and Traditional Microneedling?

At The Center for Women’s Aesthetics in Charlotte, North Carolina, our providers see many women in the office seeking solutions for aging, pigmented, or damaged skin. One treatment that continues to gain popularity in cosmetics is radiofrequency microneedling (RF). At the Center for Women’s Aesthetics, we combine microneedling with the Virtue Radiofrequency device which is a safe, effective, and affordable way to rejuvenate the skin’s appearance and health. Let’s take a look at this treatment and how it differs from traditional microneedling methods.

What is the Virtue RF treatment?

The Virtue RF device used at The Center for Women’s Aesthetics is a revolutionary tool that combines radiofrequency (RF) technology with traditional microneedling techniques. This combination allows for precise and controlled delivery of radiofrequency heat energy into the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen growth and skin tightening.

How does Virtue RF work?

During the Virtue RF treatment, very tiny needles are utilized to create microchannels in the skin, while delivering RF energy at the same time. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, triggering the production of both collagen and elastin fibers in the targeted areas. As a result, the skin starts to look smoother, tighter, and more youthful looking.

How is radiofrequency microneedling different from traditional microneedling?

Energy Source: RF microneedling uses radiofrequency energy in addition to mechanical needling, while traditional microneedling relies solely on the mechanical action of the needles.

Effectiveness: RF microneedling is generally more effective for deeper skin issues and provides additional skin tightening benefits.

Downtime: RF microneedling might have a slightly longer downtime due to the additional thermal effect.

What are the benefits of Virtue RF treatment?

The Virtue RF treatment offers several advantages, making it a reliable and popular choice among women seeking skin rejuvenation, especially when compared to conventional microneedling treatments. Below are just some of the advantages this treatment has over microneedling alone:

•  Treats a wider range of skin concerns
•  Minimal discomfort and downtime
•  Safe for all patient skin types and skin tones while performed with an FDA-cleared medical device
•  Results continue to improve over several months as collagen production increases
