Radiofrequency Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines traditional microneedling with RF energy to enhance skin tightening and rejuvenation. During the procedure, tiny needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and natural healing processes. Simultaneously, RF energy is delivered deep into the dermis, promoting further collagen remodeling and skin tightening. This dual approach not only improves skin texture and tone but also addresses deeper wrinkles and laxity, making it an effective treatment for a wide range of skin concerns.
The key difference between basic microneedling and RF microneedling lies in the addition of radiofrequency energy. Basic microneedling solely relies on needle penetration to stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. In contrast, RF microneedling combines this mechanical action with the delivery of RF energy, which penetrates deeper into the skin layers to provide enhanced tightening and rejuvenation. This combination results in more significant improvements in skin laxity, texture, and overall appearance, offering a more comprehensive and effective treatment compared to traditional microneedling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Radiofrequency microneedling is a next-level treatment that adds controlled radiofrequency or thermal energy to a microneedling treatment. The RF treatment administers bi-polar radiofrequency energy to generates gentle heat under the surface of the skin. Traditional microneedling will deliver a physical injury to the dermis and has more extensive downtime. RF microneedling produces elevated results by adding energy to target skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and facial scarring.
There is minimal downtime with the RF micro-needling treatment. After a treatment, your skin will appear red, almost like a sunburn appearance. This redness will dissipate over the following 4-8 hours.
The recommended treatment plan includes a series of 3 treatments to see optimal results. Each treatment can be performed 4-6 apart. From there, additional treatments occur on an as needed basis following the patient’s general aging process.
Following treatments some patients find improvements in their skin only after a few days. Fine lines and scars may seem less defined and this can be from the skin contracting and tightening. The real magic occurs over the following weeks to months as the body produces collagen and elastin. Final results are typically seen 4-6 months after the last treatment session.
Radiofrequency for microneedling is an advanced cosmetic treatment that combines the power of microneedling with the skin-tightening benefits of radiofrequency energy. During the VirtueRF treatment, the device is used to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting the production of collagen and elastin.
The radiofrequency energy is then applied to the skin through the same device, heating the deeper layers of skin to further stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. This dual approach helps to improve the overall texture and firmness of your skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
The procedure is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime, making it a great option for busy patients who want to achieve smoother, younger-looking skin without the inconvenience of a lengthy recovery period. Our experienced team at Augusta Aesthetics will work with you to customize a treatment plan based on your individual needs and goals, helping you achieve the beautiful, radiant skin you deserve.

VirtueRF microneedling treatments help tighten and firm the skin with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. Here's how it works:
- Microneedling: First, a handheld device is used to create tiny microchannels in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the body's natural healing response, which helps to produce new collagen and elastin.
- Radiofrequency energy: Next, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin through the microneedles. This energy heats the skin tissue, causing the collagen fibers to contract and tighten.
- Collagen production: Over time, the body's natural healing response produces new collagen and elastin, which further tightens and firms the skin.

Immediately after the VirtueRF Microneedling treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours, and you can expect to see some improvement in your skin texture and tone within a week or two.
In terms of full healing time, it varies from person to person depending on the severity of their skin condition and the treatment area. Most patients see the full results of their VirtueRF Microneedling treatment within 4-6 weeks.
During the healing process, it's important to follow the post-care instructions provided by our medical spa. You should avoid using any exfoliating products or treatments for at least 72 hours after your treatment, protect your skin from the sun, and avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for at least 24-48 hours after your treatment.
