What Is VirtueRF Microneedling?
Cartessa™ VirtueRF is a state-of-the-art skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency energy to enhance skin tightening and scar reduction. This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries on the skin surface, triggering natural collagen production. The addition of radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of skin, promoting further collagen and elastin growth. This dual-action process can effectively address cosmetic concerns and typically results in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
What Are the Benefits of VirtueRF Microneedling?
VirtueRF offers numerous benefits, making it a popular choice for skin rejuvenation. It helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, including those from acne. This treatment can enhance skin firmness and elasticity by stimulating collagen production. Additionally, it is designed to improve skin texture and tone, often leading to a more even complexion. Similar to many other minimally invasive treatments, like HELIX CoolPeel® treatment, VirtueRF is suitable for various skin types and typically has minimal downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities. Its precision and depth control ensure safety and comfort, resulting in a revitalized appearance with long-lasting results.
Who Is a Candidate for VirtueRF Microneedling?
Ideal candidates for VirtueRF treatment are typically those:
- Seeking improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall rejuvenation
- With concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, and acne scars
- Looking for a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime
While it is suitable for multiple skin types and tones, treatment may not be recommended for those with active skin infections, certain skin conditions, or pregnant women. A consultation with Dr. Sarbak can help determine if this advanced microneedling treatment is appropriate for your specific skin concerns.
How Is VirtueRF Microneedling Performed?
VirtueRF is performed using a specialized device that combines microneedling treatment with radiofrequency energy. The procedure often begins with the application of a numbing cream to minimize discomfort. The device then uses fine needles to create micro-punctures in the skin, while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy deep into the dermal layers. This process helps stimulate collagen production and promote skin tightening. It typically lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, a soothing serum or mask may be applied to enhance healing and comfort.
How Much Does VirtueRF Microneedling Cost?
The cost of VirtueRF microneedling can vary widely depending on the expertise of the provider and the number of sessions required. Most individuals require multiple sessions, usually between three to six, to achieve optimal results. Additionally, the specific areas being treated and the extent of treatment needed can influence the overall cost.
