VirtueRF Microneedling in Latham, NY

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that firms and tightens the skin using the body’s natural healing processes. Adding radiofrequency (RF) energy through the needles extends the benefits deeper than traditional microneedling for more noticeable results without added downtime.

VirtueRF microneedling, available at our Latham, New York, practice, is a versatile option that has 3 specialized handpieces, making skin rejuvenation easy, safe, effective, and comfortable. Whether it’s SmartRF for the face, DeepRF for the body, or ExactRF for delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, our experienced team will personalize your treatment to give you exceptional results without the pain or downtime associated with other microneedling treatments.

How Does VirtueRF Work?

VirtueRF machine

Traditional microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin that increase collagen and elastin production to increase firmness and elasticity. RF microneedling releases RF energy from the needles to reach deeper tissues, remodeling existing collagen and elastin for a tightening and lifting effect. Performed as a preventative, collagen-building treatment in younger patients or a corrective treatment for those who want anti-aging and rejuvenation, VirtueRF is easily adjusted to a variety of patient needs. This advanced RF microneedling platform adjusts the depth of needle penetration and the level of RF energy to maximize its rejuvenating effects while minimizing pain and trauma.

SmartRF for the Face and Neck

The SmartRF applicator has 36 fine needles to achieve the following benefits on the face, neck, décolletage, and backs of the hands:

Improve tone and texture
Reduce mild laxity
Minimize pore size
Soften acne scars
Correct fine lines and wrinkles

This treatment ends with a complimentary Microcurrent Dual Face Mask to soothe the skin and speed results. First, a wet mask applies antioxidants, vitamins, and anti-inflammatories. Then, a dry mask uses patented Tissue X™ microcurrent technology to help the wet mask ingredients penetrate deeper into the skin. Treatment protocol: 3 to 5 treatments, each spaced 4 weeks apart

DeepRF for the Body

The DeepRF applicator is for larger areas like the abdomen, arms, thighs, back of legs, and buttocks.

DeepRF penetrates deeper than SmartRF to reduce fat and tighten areas such as a double chin, back of the arms, and inner thighs without surgery. It can enhance the results of fat reduction and skin tightening with LipoAI. DeepRF has a cooling plate to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment. Treatment protocol: 3 to 5 treatments, each spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart

What Is BodyRight?

For a dramatic transformation of the abdomen, arms, or thighs, we can combine a series of DeepRF and PHYSIQ 360 nonsurgical body contouring treatments called BodyRight. This combination treatment improves contours layer by layer by firming and tightening the skin, reducing subcutaneous fat, and toning muscles.

ExactRF for Delicate Areas

ExactRF is a single-needle handpiece that treats delicate areas under the eyes, eye bags, festoons, jawline, and vertical lip lines. It can also be used as a nonsurgical alternative to eyelid surgery to correct under-eye bags. ExactRF includes a complimentary soothing eye mask at the end of the treatment. Treatment protocol: 2 to 3 treatments, each spaced 6 weeks apart

Am I a VirtueRF Candidate?

Candidates for VirtueRF are adults of all ages, skin types, and tones who want to address any of the following concerns on the face and body:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Scars
Mild to moderate laxity
Uneven tone and texture
Enlarged pores

The specialized applicators make treating large and small areas quick and easy. Depending on your concerns, you may benefit more from other skincare services or laser treatments instead of or in addition to VirtueRF. At your consultation, Dr. Rockmore will assess your skin and discuss your cosmetic goals to determine the best treatment approach for you.

What Are VirtueRF Treatments Like?

Before your treatment, your provider will prepare the skin with the VirtueRF compounded numbing cream. Once the skin is numb, they will cleanse it and perform the treatment by placing the handpiece on it, activating the needles and RF energy, then moving to the adjacent skin until the entire area is treated.

VirtueRF’s Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) technology minimizes discomfort by ensuring smooth, precise needle insertion. Additionally, the system breaks down the RF energy into smaller subunits for minimal discomfort.

Enhanced Microneedling With Exosomes

To enhance your results and speed recovery, we can apply Chronos ExoCR topical exosomes (for an additional fee) at the end of your microneedling treatment. These purified exosomes are natural biologics secreted by stem cells; they are not live cells themselves. This specialized formulation targets dermal fibroblasts to reduce redness and inflammation, speed up healing, and enhance collagen production. The tiny punctures from microneedling allow ExoCR’s regenerative substances to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin.

What To Expect After Your Treatment

VirtueRF treatments require no downtime. Treated areas may be mildly red and swollen for the first few hours or days, depending on the specifics of the treatment.

Hold off on applying skincare products and makeup for the first 24 hours (unless directed otherwise by your provider) to allow the skin punctures to seal.

While many patients notice improved radiance right away, it takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the skin to firm and tighten as collagen rebuilds.
