What is Exact RF Microneedling with Virtue

Exact RF Microneedling is an advanced aesthetic treatment that combines the proven benefits of microneedling with the power of radiofrequency (RF) energy to address skin laxity, rough texture, fine lines, and other visible signs of aging.

Using the state-of-the-art Virtue RF device, this treatment delivers controlled thermal energy beneath the skin's surface while simultaneously creating precise micro-injuries. These micro-injuries activate the body's natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

What sets Virtue RF Microneedling apart is its dual-action approach. Unlike traditional microneedling, which relies solely on micro-injuries, the addition of RF energy penetrates deeper into the dermis for enhanced tightening, contouring, and rejuvenation. This makes it especially effective for challenging areas such as the under-eyes, jawline, neck, and décolleté.

The Exact RF handpiece features a single-needle design that delivers focused energy to delicate or hard-to-reach areas, ensuring precise results while minimizing trauma and downtime. Most patients experience only mild redness or swelling that quickly subsides, allowing for a fast return to daily activities.

This procedure is ideal for those seeking noticeable improvements in skin firmness, texture, and overall appearance without surgery. With a customized treatment plan, Virtue RF can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, refine pores, and enhance overall radiance—making it a versatile and highly effective option for long-term skin rejuvenation.

NIH‑Indexed Studies on Exact RF Microneedling

Radiofrequency microneedling (RFMN) has been extensively studied for its efficacy and safety in skin rejuvenation.

A 2021 comprehensive review analyzed 42 high-quality studies on RFMN, highlighting its effectiveness in treating various dermatologic conditions, including skin rejuvenation, acne scars and skin laxity. The review concluded that RFMN is a safe and effective intervention that can be used repeatedly and in combination with other treatments. 

In a 2022 study, researchers evaluated the efficacy of RFMN for skin tightening of the lower face, jawline, and neck. The study found significant improvements in skin laxity and patient satisfaction, with minimal downtime and side effects.

These studies support the use of Exact RF Microneedling as a safe and effective treatment for various skin concerns, offering patients a non-surgical option for skin rejuvenation.

How It Works

The Virtue Exact RF system uses radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to send controlled RF energy deep into the dermis through tiny, sterile needles. This process heats the tissue below the skin's surface to a precise temperature, activating fibroblasts and kickstarting the production of collagen and elastin.

Meanwhile, the microneedling component triggers a micro-wound response that enhances your skin's regenerative capacity.

The result is a one-two punch: firmer, tighter skin from the thermal RF energy and improved texture from the microneedling stimulation. The Exact RF's single-needle design allows it to treat small or delicate areas with greater control and less irritation.

Patients usually experience only mild redness or swelling that fades within a few days, making Exact RF a convenient option for improving skin firmness, texture, and radiance without the downtime of invasive procedures.

How Exact RF Microneedling with Virtue Compares to Other Options

While traditional microneedling works well for superficial rejuvenation, it doesn't go deep enough to affect significant skin laxity. Laser treatments can improve texture but often come with more downtime and aren't always safe for all skin types.

Exact RF Microneedling with Virtue offers deeper collagen stimulation than traditional microneedling, delivering more substantial and long-lasting skin rejuvenation. Its advanced precision makes it ideal for treating small, delicate areas—such as under the eyes—more effectively than full-surface RF devices. Patients typically experience only mild side effects like temporary redness or slight swelling, with faster healing and minimal disruption to their daily skincare routine. Compared to superficial fillers or Botox, Exact RF delivers results that not only last longer but also support the skin's natural regeneration process from within.

Exact RF Microneedling with Virtue Before & Afters

Results typically evolve over several weeks as your skin rebuilds from within. You may see improvement after a single session, especially in skin texture and tone. For deeper concerns like sagging skin or acne scars, a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. After one Exact RF Microneedling session, the treated area will look firmer with a healthy glow. Over the next 2–4 weeks, collagen production increases, improving elasticity and reducing fine lines. Maximum results are visible after 2–3 months and continue improving with each session.

Your Initial Exact RF Microneedling with Virtue Consultation

Your visit to Pure Regenerative Medicine begins with a personalized consultation designed to understand your skin from every angle. We'll review your medical history and treatment goals, then use the Glimpse Facial Analyzer to capture high-resolution imaging of your skin's surface and underlying layers.

This diagnostic tool helps us assess texture, elasticity, pigmentation and other key factors with clinical precision. Based on these insights, we'll craft a custom treatment plan tailored to your skin concerns, lifestyle and available downtime—whether you're focused on tightening, scar reduction, or improving tone.

Preparing for Your Exact RF Microneedling Session

To prepare for your appointment:

  • Avoid retinoids, exfoliants or aggressive skincare products for 3-5 days beforehand
  • Hydrate well and increase your water intake the week before
  • Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or SPF
  • Discontinue blood-thinning medications or supplements if medically advised
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 7 days pre-treatment

Wear comfortable clothing and avoid scheduling strenuous activities immediately after. If you're planning to treat multiple areas like the décolleté or jawline, we'll help you space sessions appropriately for optimal recovery and results.

These preparatory steps help ensure a smoother, more effective treatment session.

What to Expect from Your Exact RF Microneedling Session with Virtue

When you arrive at Pure Regenerative Medicine, our team will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure a comfortable experience.

Once the area is fully numbed, we'll use the Virtue Exact RF handpiece to treat your targeted zones, such as the under eyes, jawline or décolleté. You may feel light pressure and a warm sensation as the single microneedle delivers RF energy beneath the skin. The treatment is precise, quiet and well-tolerated.

Each session lasts about 45 to 60 minutes.

Afterward, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, for 1 to 2 days. There is minimal downtime, and most patients resume normal activities the same day. You'll receive post-care instructions to support optimal healing.

How Long Do Results Last?

Most patients begin noticing visible improvement in skin texture and tightness within two to four weeks after their first Exact RF Microneedling session. However, because collagen and elastin production continues to increase over time, the most significant results typically develop around three months post-treatment.

Results can last anywhere from 12 to 18 months depending on your skin type, age, lifestyle and how consistent you are with skincare. Patients who undergo a full treatment series, usually three to four sessions spaced one month apart, see the most dramatic and lasting improvement.

Risks & Side Effects

Exact RF Microneedling is FDA-cleared and specifically designed to be safe—even in delicate areas like the under eyes, jawline, and décolleté. While most patients tolerate the treatment very well, mild side effects can occur. These typically include temporary redness and swelling lasting 24 to 48 hours, slight pinpoint bleeding during the procedure, a warm or tingling sensation in the treated area, and mild tightness or dryness as the skin heals.

Less common risks may involve prolonged redness, irritation, or hyperpigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones that haven't been properly prepped, as well as a low risk of infection if aftercare instructions are not followed. To ensure safety and comfort, our team uses sterile equipment and applies a topical numbing cream before treatment. You'll also receive thorough post-care guidance to support a smooth and effective recovery.
