VirtueRF Microneedling in Carmel, Indiana

Refresh your skin with VirtueRF, an advanced microneedling treatment that combines the precision of traditional microneedling with the skin-tightening benefits of radiofrequency (RF) energy. As tiny needles create microchannels in the skin, RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis to stimulate collagen production, tighten existing collagen fibers, and promote long-lasting rejuvenation. This innovative treatment addresses fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and uneven texture, with the goal of skin that looks smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Individual results vary.

Under the medical direction of Dr. Rajiv Sood, board-certified plastic surgeon.

What VirtueRF Microneedling treats

Looking to improve texture, address scarring and tightening your skin - VirtueRF microneedling is a versatile option to address these concerns and more.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

VirtueRF is designed to stimulate collagen production, which may soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Scarring

This advanced treatment softens and reduces the appearance of acne scars and other textural irregularities for a more even complexion.

Enlarged Pores

VirtueRF may help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores for a more refined look.

Texture

Microneedling creates microchannels that encourage skin renewal, smoothing rough or uneven skin texture.

Skin Laxity

The addition of radiofrequency energy is designed to act on existing collagen fibers, which may help skin look firmer and more elastic.

Treatable areas

- Primary: Face, neck, décolletage

- Secondary: Body areas with skin laxity, stretch marks, or scarring (e.g., abdomen, thighs, arms)

VirtueRF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy and may improve the appearance of skin laxity, wrinkles, scars, and overall texture.

What to expect

Before, during and after your VirtueRF Microneedling appointment at Wise Aesthetics.

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.

Follow Provider Instructions

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

Expected results

Early Improvements

You may notice an initial glow and tighter skin within a few days as swelling subsides.

With a series of treatments, many clients see an improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, along with firmer-looking skin.

Individual results vary.

Is VirtueRF Microneedling 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, or have a pacemaker or other implanted electrical device. Your provider will review your medical history before recommending treatment.

Risks and side effects

Every radiofrequency microneedling treatment carries risk. Common effects include redness, swelling, warmth, pinpoint bleeding, dryness, flaking and temporary small marks where the needles entered the skin. 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 questions, answered

What is VirtueRF microneedling, and how is it different from traditional microneedling?

VirtueRF combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to enhance collagen and elastin production at deeper layers of the skin. This advanced technology not only improves skin texture and tone but also tightens the skin, which makes it an option for clients whose concerns include skin laxity as well as texture; your provider can explain how it differs from traditional microneedling.

What skin concerns can VirtueRF microneedling treat?

VirtueRF may improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and mild skin laxity. Many clients also notice a more even overall tone. Individual results vary.

Is there downtime after VirtueRF microneedling?

One of the benefits of VirtueRF is its minimal downtime. Most clients experience mild redness or swelling for 1-2 days, similar to a light sunburn. Many people feel comfortable returning to their normal activities the same day or the next.

How many VirtueRF sessions will I need?

While noticeable improvements can occur after one session, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Your provider will assess your skin and create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.
