If you’re looking for a non-surgical treatment to improve skin texture, reduce acne scars, and support long-term collagen production, RF microneedling may be the perfect solution. At InMySkin in Calgary, the Virtue RF platform is one of the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatments available, helping clients achieve smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime. Here’s what you need to know about the treatment, its benefits, and what results you can expect.
The Virtue RF is an advanced, FDA-cleared radiofrequency (RF) microneedling treatment that combines micro-injuries with heat energy to stimulate deep collagen and elastin production. It is highly effective for tightening skin, reducing wrinkles, minimizing pores, and improving acne scars with virtually no downtime.
The Virtue RF features Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD), a proprietary technology unique to the Virtue RF platform. RPD controls the insertion of microneedles to ensure they enter the skin smoothly and at exact, uniform depths.
For Calgary clients looking for a customizable treatment option, the Virtue RF can be tailored to different skin concerns and treatment areas while supporting natural-looking results.
Dual Action
Tiny micro-needles create microscopic channels in the skin (triggering a natural healing response) while simultaneously delivering RF heat energy into the deeper dermal layers. By combining traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy, Virtue RF helps stimulate collagen production at a deeper level for enhanced skin rejuvenation and tightening.
Versatility
The platform features three distinct handpieces, Smart RF, Deep RF, and Exact RF, allowing full treatment customization for the face, neck, jawline, and delicate eye areas. This versatility allows providers at InMySkin to personalize each treatment based on your unique skin concerns and goals.
Comfort
It incorporates a robotic precision motor that prevents tearing or “stamping” the skin, and specialized cooling plates to keep the skin surface comfortable during the procedure. Many clients are surprised by how comfortable the treatment feels, especially when compared to older microneedling technologies.
What Does RF Microneedling Treat?
Wrinkles & Fine Lines
Reduce wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen production, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin. As collagen naturally decreases with age, RF microneedling helps restore support within the skin for a softer, more refreshed appearance.
Skin Laxity
Restore firmness and definition with advanced energy technology for a naturally lifted, youthful look. This makes RF microneedling a popular option for clients seeking non-surgical skin tightening and long-term skin rejuvenation.
Neck Tightening
Revitalize and firm the neck area with advanced energy technology for a smoother, more youthful contour. The neck is often one of the first areas to show signs of aging, making it an ideal treatment area for collagen stimulation and skin tightening.
Acne Scars
Diminish acne scars with precise energy treatment for smoother, clearer, and more refined skin. Many clients seeking RF microneedling in Calgary choose the treatment specifically to improve acne scars and uneven skin texture.
Traditional Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling: Which One Should You Choose?
| Traditional Microneedling | RF Microneedling |
|---|---|
| How it Works | How it Works |
| Uses fine needles to trigger the skin’s natural healing process. | Adds radiofrequency (heat) energy delivered deep into the dermis. |
| Primary Uses | Primary Uses |
| Fine lines, mild hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, and general rejuvenation. | Deep wrinkles, jowl sagging, severe acne scars, and overall skin tightening. |
| Downtime | Downtime |
| 1–2 days of mild redness; very manageable. | 2–4 days of redness and minor swelling. |
| Results Timeline | Results Timeline |
| Gradual improvement over 3–6 months; typically requires 3–4 sessions. | Faster visible tightening, requiring fewer sessions (usually 2–3) for noticeable outcomes. |
Both treatments stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, but RF microneedling offers the added benefit of radiofrequency energy to target deeper layers of the skin. During your consultation, the team at InMySkin can help determine which option is best suited to your goals.
What To Expect On Treatment Day
The Process: A topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment. The procedure usually takes 30 to 45 minutes.
Downtime: Mild redness and swelling typically last 24 to 48 hours. Most clients return to their normal activities shortly afterward.
Results: A series of 3 to 6 sessions (spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart) is generally recommended. Results develop progressively over several months as collagen rebuilds.
Because collagen production continues after treatment, many clients notice ongoing improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality in the months that follow.
