Before your treatment

Avoid Sun Exposure

Refrain from direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least 1-2 weeks prior to treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily.

Discontinue Certain Skincare Products

Stop using retinoids, exfoliating acids (glycolic or salicylic acids), and Vitamin C serums for 5-7 days before your appointment. Avoid chemical peels or laser treatments on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks.

No Blood Thinners

Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications and supplements (e.g., fish oil, Vitamin E) for 5-7 days before your treatment unless directed otherwise by a healthcare provider.

Hydrate

Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating moisturizer in the days leading up to your treatment.

Clean Skin

Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid applying lotions, oils, or sunscreen on the day of your treatment.

Discuss Medical History

Notify your provider of any medical conditions, medications, or recent treatments, and let them know if you have a history of cold sores (antiviral medication may be prescribed).

During your treatment

Preparation

Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to enhance your comfort. Numbing typically takes 30-45 minutes.

The VirtueRF Microneedling Treatment

The device uses fine needles and radiofrequency (RF) energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.

The treatment is customized to your skin concerns, targeting areas like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity.

Sensation

You may feel a mild prickling or warming sensation during the treatment. Most clients find the treatment tolerable due to the numbing cream.

Duration

The treatment typically takes 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

Aftercare Provided

Post-treatment soothing serums or recovery masks may be applied to calm and hydrate the skin.

After your treatment

Protect Your Skin

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.

Hydrate and Soothe

Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to support healing and minimize dryness.

Avoid Harsh Products

Refrain from using retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products for 7-10 days after treatment.

Avoid Heat and Sweating

Avoid hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 48 hours to prevent irritation.

Do Not Pick or Scrub

Mild redness, swelling, or a sandpaper-like texture may occur. Let your skin heal naturally without picking or scrubbing.

Use any post-treatment products or aftercare recommendations provided by your practitioner.

Is VirtueRF Microneedling with PRFM right for you?

Your provider reviews your medical history and discusses risks and alternatives with you before recommending treatment.

Who may not be a candidate

This treatment is not suitable for everyone. Tell your provider if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, cold sore, breakout or rash in the area, have a history of keloid scarring, have a bleeding disorder or take blood thinners, have used isotretinoin, have a blood or platelet disorder, or have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device. Your provider will review your medical history before recommending treatment.

Risks and side effects

This treatment combines radiofrequency microneedling with a small blood draw, and both carry risk. Common effects include redness, swelling, warmth, pinpoint bleeding, dryness, flaking, temporary small marks where the needles entered the skin and bruising at the blood draw site. Less common effects include infection, reactivation of cold sores, changes in skin color, which can be darker or lighter than the surrounding skin, burns and scarring. Your provider will go through the risks that apply to you and answer your questions before you decide.

VirtueRF Microneedling with PRFM questions, answered

How does RF microneedling with PRF/M work?

VirtueRF uses radiofrequency energy to create deep thermal micro-injuries, triggering collagen remodeling. PRFM, prepared from a small sample of your own blood and containing platelets and growth factors, is then applied to the treated skin to complement the treatment.

How many treatments are recommended for the best results?

A series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance treatments can be done every 6-12 months.

Is there downtime after VirtueRF + PRFM?

Most clients experience mild redness and swelling for 24-48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Recovery varies; many clients return to normal activities the next day, and your provider will advise what to expect.

How long do results last?

Results continue to improve over several months as collagen production increases. With proper maintenance, results can last 12-18 months.
