The collagen and elastic fibers in your skin begin to decrease with age and skincare habits, so skin loses its plumpness and elasticity. Long-term sun exposure, fluorescent lighting, drinking, smoking, and lack of sleep all speed up skin aging, causing fine lines, sagging, and other problems. The Virtue RF microneedle radiofrequency device, launched in Taiwan in 2023, is a new device developed and made in Korea, and is called the "budget alternative to Thermage" in the aesthetic medicine world. Virtue RF uses computer-controlled fine needles from shallow to deep layers and uses micro-currents to stimulate tissue. With insulated and non-insulated needle technology and different adjustment settings, it offers more precise and varied treatment options to improve facial fine lines, skin texture, and other concerns. This article explains what Virtue RF microneedle radiofrequency is!
What Is Microneedle Radiofrequency?
Microneedle radiofrequency combines minimally invasive microneedling with the heating properties of radiofrequency. It uses sterile, micron-scale microneedles that go into the skin and deliver RF energy to the superficial dermis, heating the dermis more safely, precisely, and evenly.
In the past, RF skin tightening usually conducted energy through the epidermis, but it was hard to control what the energy did once it entered the skin, and it could not precisely target the treatment area. If the energy was too high or the doctor lacked experience, there was a risk of burns to the epidermis.
3 Main Advantages of Microneedle RF:
- Notable improvement in wrinkles and double chin
- Immediate tightening, so even a week before an important date is still in time
- Less pain and shorter downtime
How Virtue RF Works
Virtue RF microneedle radiofrequency is certified by the US FDA, EU CE, Korea's MFDS, and Taiwan's TFDA, and is a medical device trusted by medical professionals around the world. It works by using innovative bipolar radiofrequency technology, which, through 24K gold microneedles, delivers the right amount of heat precisely into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, stimulating regeneration of the body's own collagen and elastin. The energy of Virtue RF can trigger the body's natural repair response, tightening skin and fading fine lines and spots, so skin returns to a young, firm, and smooth state.
Unlike traditional RF, Virtue RF uses extremely fine microneedles that enter areas of aging skin to heat the cells, so the RF heat treats loose, aging areas more precisely in order to break down aged cells, promote turnover of the epidermal keratin layer, and leave skin smooth and bright while tightening it, giving bipolar radiofrequency a double effect.
Features of Virtue RF
Virtue RF technology gathers the essence of microneedle and RF technologies, caring for skin from the superficial layers to deep tightening and thoroughly fighting fine lines, spots, and other signs of aging. Together with the exclusive smart controlled cooling system, it not only makes treatment more comfortable but also speeds up skin recovery. In addition, Virtue RF's bipolar RF technology and 24K gold microneedle design improve the precision and effectiveness of treatment, achieving notable results in a shorter time with less energy output.
Virtue RF treatment plans can all be customized, providing the most suitable treatment for different skin problems and personal needs!
3 Handpieces of Virtue RF:
- 1. SMART RF smart handpiece: skin texture transformation with even energy and low damage for steady skin care (insulated/non-insulated 36 pins)
- 2. DEEP RF focused handpiece: deep reconstruction with patented cooling, renewing the reticular dermis (insulated 12/36 pins)
- 3. EXACT RF precision handpiece: refined sculpting with monopolar deep, precisely focused ablation (insulated/non-insulated)
Exclusive Technologies of Virtue RF:
- 1. ACS smart cooling patent: protection + desensitization + heat reduction
ACS cooling plate patent: protection + desensitization + heat reduction. It provides continuous low-temperature soothing during treatment, reducing the epidermis's sensitivity and discomfort to the heat source, shortening post-treatment recovery, and reducing redness and swelling. - 2. Lowered epidermal temperature: the superficial skin's resistance to current rises, so current does not act on the epidermis and heating is concentrated in the deeper layers, achieving the best treatment results.
- 3. Insulated/non-insulated microneedles: Virtue RF has insulated needles and non-insulated needles, which address different skin problems and can smooth and firm skin texture in a single treatment, treat aged cells, renew elasticity and vitality, and even fade fine lines and even out skin tone, resolving both shallow and deep problems together.
Indications for Virtue RF
Virtue RF is suitable for people with concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, rough skin texture, acne scars, and enlarged pores.
For example: fine lines around the eyes, brow and eye lifting, facial skin texture and fine lines, pore improvement, facial scars, melasma, spots, neck skin texture and fine lines, neck line improvement, jawline firming, and double chin concerns. Body areas can be improved too! For example: pregnancy stretch marks, obesity stretch marks, growth stretch marks, cellulite.
