How does VirtueRF work?
Precision Microneedling
VirtueRF begins with precision microneedling, where tiny punctures are created in the top layer of the skin using an advanced microneedling device. This process initiates the body’s natural wound-healing response, setting the stage for rejuvenation.
Collagen Induction
As the micro-needles penetrate the skin, they trigger increased collagen production. This essential protein helps to revitalize the skin’s underlying structure, reducing signs of aging and enhancing skin firmness.
Radio Frequency Enhancement
Simultaneously, radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered deep into the dermis, heating the tissue. This heat boosts collagen production even further, tightening the skin and improving its overall texture and appearance for a more youthful and refreshed look.
