RF Microneedling is a physician-supervised skin rejuvenation treatment that combines precision microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy delivery to support collagen remodeling, skin tightening, and improvement in texture and laxity.
The Virtue system by Cartessa uses insulated microneedles that deliver radiofrequency energy at precisely controlled depths within the dermis. This combination of mechanical injury and thermal stimulation activates fibroblasts the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production at multiple skin layers simultaneously.
Individual results vary. Outcomes depend on skin condition, depth of concern, number of sessions, and individual healing response.
Most patients benefit from an initial series of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments are typically recommended every 6 to 12 months depending on skin response. Your provider may recommend a schedule based on your specific assessment.
