Radiofrequency Microneedling

In recent years, radiofrequency microneedling has risen as one of the most effective skin rejuvenation treatments. The procedure combines the twin benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency therapy to activate your body’s dormant healing and collagen production capabilities. Consequently, your skin eventually looks smooth, flawless, tight, and youthful.

Dr. Savalia uses the cutting-edge Virtue RF Microneedling device for the procedure to ensure safe, consistent, individualized, and flawless results without harsh side effects or downtime. Please schedule a consultation at Newport Beach Cosmetic Surgeons to discuss your RF microneedling options.

What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?

Microneedling with radiofrequency is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate your body's healing processes and collagen production. The microneedles create tiny punctures in the upper layers of the skin while delivering thermal energy to deeper layers. This treatment rejuvenates the skin from within, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Here at Savalia Plastic Surgery, we utilize the advanced Virtue RF Microneedling device to ensure safe, consistent, and personalized results without harsh side effects or recovery time.

Cutting-Edge RF Microneedling Device

Newport Beach Cosmetic Surgeons uses the cutting-edge Virtue RF Microneedling device for this procedure.

What sets Virtue RF Microneedling is unique because of its heightened customizability. The device includes numerous settings, allowing the provider to modify it according to your specific skin concerns, texture, and quality. The doctor can adjust the microneedling depth according to your skin quality to activate your body’s healing response without damaging your skin tissues. As such, you don’t need to worry about an extended recovery.

Virtue RF Microneedling is also unique because of its comfort and painlessness. Most microneedling procedures cause mild discomfort when the needles puncture the skin’s surface. However, the Virtue RF Microneedling device includes a robotic precision delivery (RPD) system that reduces the skin of scratches or surface damage. Combined with a topical numbing cream, the entire procedure is virtually painless — no pain, discomfort, or side effects.

Virtue RF Difference

Traditional microneedling focuses on superficial trauma, leading to swelling, redness, flaking, and rough skin texture during recovery. Incorporating RF energy enhances collagen and elastin production at deeper levels, resulting in primarily just redness after the procedure. This deeper treatment yields more substantial skin rejuvenation and noticeable improvements in skin laxity and texture. RF microneedling is particularly effective for addressing deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks.

The Virtue RF Experience

Your Virtue RF treatment begins with an initial consultation with our aesthetic provider Jennay, RN. She will use our skin analysis system VISIA to analyze your skin concerns and discuss your goals to create a personalized treatment plan. A numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure. You'll be given comfortable eye protection while the Virtue RF device is then gently moved across your skin. Jennay, RN will cover your treatment areas, which typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour. After the procedure, your add-on choice of exosomes, growth factors, or PRF will be applied along with a medical grade post procedure safe sunscreen.

Recovery and Results

Your skin may appear red and feel sunburned for 24 hours post-treatment. To relieve any discomfort from the sunburned feeling, every patient goes home with a recovery mask to use. As your skin heals, it is important to avoid exfoliation for 2 weeks. You’ll be more sensitive to sunlight for 2 weeks after your treatment, so it’s crucial to apply your recommended medical grade post procedure safe sunscreen and avoid prolonged or excessive sun exposure for 4 weeks following the procedure. Your skin tone will look more even and feel smoother within two weeks after your first treatment. Full results will typically be visible in 2 to 3 months, and some patients may need multiple treatments for the best outcomes.

Radiofrequency Microneedling FAQs

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients need 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. However, the specific number of sessions will depend on your goals and concerns.

When will I see the results?

You’ll start seeing the results a few weeks after the session, with continued improvements over several months and treatment sessions. The results appear gradually as your body rebuilds the skin cells and collagen reserves.

How long will the results last?

The collagen you produce will leave you at the same rate as your existing collagen does which is 1% per year. You can extend your results by doing frequent maintenance treatments.

Does Virtue RF hurt?

It is a painless procedure due to the Virtue RF device and the topical numbing we provide. After the treatment, you may feel slight discomfort when the numbing wears off.

When can I wear make up and skincare products?

<p>You may need to avoid certain products for up to 3 days. Our aesthetic provider, Jennay, RN, will review your skincare products and create a customized post-procedure routine for you.</p>
