VirtueRF Microneedling

WDC is excited to be the first in Wilmington, NC to treat with the latest version of the VirtueRF Microneedling treatment.  The Virtue RF is the next generation treatment allowing for more accuracy and improved efficacy.  The latest and greatest in radio frequency and microneedling technology all combined into one simple treatment.

VirtueRF Microneedling skin renewal system has arrived, in a single platform!  With the ability to target unwanted scars and wrinkles, it simultaneously tightens the skin without the traditional pain of other microneedling solutions.

The treatment depth and energy levels enable a multi-layered approach for customized treatments, regardless of skin type or tan. The VirtueRF creates thousands of targeted coagulations zones under the skin using a combination of micro needles and radio frequency to deliver precise heat, rather than laser light, to the treated area. The discrete coagulative injury zones in the dermis spare the epidermis. The natural healing process, following the skin rejuvenation treatment, replaces the damaged zones with new collagen and elastin resulting in tighter, smoother skin.

VirtueRF is the newest generation of radio frequency microneedling, with FDA-clearance for your safety.  Wilmington Dermatology Center proud to offer this minimally-invasive treatment that helps stimulate natural production of collagen. The VirtueRF goes beyond treating wrinkles, fine lines, for the face, neck, hands, and body.

Wilmington Dermatology professionals are able to customize treatment plans for specific needs to each individual patient and the recommended number of treatments can be addressed at your complimentary cosmetic consult.

What to Expect with VirtueRF
Prior to your first VirtueRF appointment we recommend coming into the office for a comprehensive consult. Wilmington Dermatology Center will take before pictures in order to track results over the treatment period. We take extensive measures to ensure that the treatment area is cleansed before using a topical anesthetic to make you more comfortable during the procedure; once the anesthetic has had about 30 minutes to take effect we begin the VirtueRF procedure. Full face  and neck treatments are typically done in the same appointment and take about 30 minutes to complete.  Depending on the size, location, and condition of the area being treated the treatment times may vary. Offering a truly comfortable patient experience via  VirtueRF’s precise robotic motor, the treatment is unmatched to comparative devices you’ll find in the market.   The VirtueRF experience includes the use of a compounded numbing cream and a tandem first in market electro current post treatment mask to ensure an unprecedented recovery and absence of visible evidence that you had a treatment today.  Results are immediate and improve as time passes, providing the best of both worlds. We are also introducing the Ultimate Duo treatment with the VirtueRF + Coolpeel.  The deep, collagen stimulating benefits of RF microneedling plus the impressive superficial results of the CoolPeel treatment- it’s the ultimate equation for beautiful skin. The benefits from this combined procedure include:

  • Erase sun spots, sun damage
