VIRTUERF MICRONEEDLING
If you’re looking to take your non-surgical skincare game to the next level, it’s time you met VirtueRF microneedling. This advanced microneedling system combines radiofrequency energy, LED light, and insulated microneedles to remodel the skin, improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture and tone, acne, and distracting scar tissue. Learn more about VirtueRF microneedling in Richmond with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Aboutanos.
What is VirtueRF microneedling?
VirtueRF microneedling from Cartessa Aesthetics offers a few distinct advantages over traditional microneedling: not only does it create thousands of micro-wounds in the skin to induce collagen and elastin production, but it also delivers radiofrequency (RF) and LED light to the skin for advanced skin remodeling.
Advantages of radiofrequency
The VirtueRF microneedling system uses 36 tiny, gold-plated needles to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin, creating new microchannels that link your skin’s layers. The radiofrequency energy heats deep layers of your skin to encourage further collagen growth and tissue tightening, leading to visibly healthier skin that continues to improve over the following months.
Advantages of LED light therapy
In addition to using RF energy, the VirtueRF microneedling system is capable of delivering both red and blue LED light therapy to your skin’s layers. Red light has been proven to stimulate cellular turnover and regenerate skin while blue light will help eliminate bacteria and improve acne.

About your VirtueRF microneedling treatment
Similar to traditional microneedling, VirtueRF microneedling is performed under local anesthesia using a topical numbing cream. Patients report treatment may be slightly uncomfortable but is not painful. Following your treatment, Dr. Aboutanos will apply a Microcurrent Dual Face Mask by Franz Skincare to nourish skin and help reduce any redness and swelling.
How many treatments will I need?
Most of our patients notice significantly smoother, more even skin after just one VirtueRF microneedling treatment, however, we find that 3 is the optimal amount of treatments to see major skin tone & texture improvements. Because VirtueRF microneedling encourages your skin to produce collagen and elastin even after it’s treated, your results should continue to improve for months.
Can I combine VirtueRF microneedling with any other treatments?
Our patients often get a facial and apply medical-grade skincare products to their face after receiving VirtueRF microneedling because the treatment primes your skin to absorb the maximum benefits of skincare treatments and products.
