Virtue RF Microneedling Scranton, PA

What is Virtue RF Microneedling?

Cartessa Virtue RF is an innovative, FDA-cleared device that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to rejuvenate skin from deep within. Tiny, gold-plated needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin while delivering gentle heat energy to the deeper layers, stimulating new collagen and elastin production.

This dual action remodels skin structure and improves texture, tone, and tightness — all with minimal downtime and customizable settings to suit each individual’s needs.

What concerns can Virtue RF help improve?

What makes Virtue RF different?

Virtue RF features three precision handpieces, allowing your provider to tailor treatments based on the area and desired depth of correction:

• Smart RF: for overall face, neck, and décolleté rejuvenation.
• Deep RF: targets thicker skin, scars, and deeper tissue tightening.
• Exact RF: perfect for delicate or focused areas such as around the eyes (eyebags, festoons), mouth, and jawline.

Because of its versatility, Virtue RF can treat a wide range of concerns safely and effectively for nearly all skin types.

What awards or recognition has Virtue RF received?

Virtue RF has been recognized in the aesthetics industry for its advanced technology, precision engineering, and patient comfort innovations.

• Named a NewBeauty Award Winner for “Best RF Microneedling Treatment.”
• Recognized by Aesthetic Everything® and multiple professional publications for innovation in radiofrequency microneedling.

These honors highlight Virtue RF’s reputation as one of the most advanced and results-driven RF microneedling systems available.

Is there downtime after a Virtue RF treatment?

Downtime is typically minimal to moderate, depending on treatment intensity.

• Mild settings: redness for 24–48 hours, minimal swelling; makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours.
• Moderate to deeper settings: redness and mild crusting or flaking for 2–5 days.

Most patients resume normal activities quickly and experience visible improvement as the skin heals and continues to remodel over the following weeks.

Is Virtue RF Microneedling painful?

Most patients describe the treatment as comfortable and tolerable. A topical numbing cream is applied prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort. You may feel slight warmth, pressure, or a prickling sensation, especially during deeper passes. Overall, comfort is well maintained through the session.

The Ultimate Duo

What is the Ultimate Duo?

The Ultimate Duo is our most comprehensive rejuvenation treatment, combining Virtue RF Microneedling and the Tetra CO₂ CoolPeel in the same visit.

Virtue RF targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and tightening from within, while CoolPeel gently resurfaces the outer layer, improving tone, texture, and pigmentation.

Together, these two powerhouse treatments address multiple concerns at once for dramatically smoother, tighter, and more radiant skin — inside and out.

What skin concerns does the Ultimate Duo treat?

The Ultimate Duo helps to:

• Improve fine lines and wrinkles
• Tighten and firm skin
• Minimize acne scars and large pores
• Smooth uneven texture and roughness
• Brighten dull skin and even pigmentation
• Restore youthful radiance and elasticity

By treating both surface and deep skin layers in one session, the Ultimate Duo delivers faster, more noticeable results than either treatment alone.

What is the downtime for the Ultimate Duo?

Because this combination treats both deep and surface layers, expect slightly more downtime than Virtue RF alone.

• Typical recovery: 3–7 days of redness and mild flaking or dryness.
• Aggressive settings: may extend redness and sensitivity up to a week or more.

Patients often feel comfortable returning to normal routines after a few days, with skin looking fresh and luminous as it continues to heal.

Is the Ultimate Duo painful?

We take every measure to ensure comfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before starting, and most patients describe the treatment as moderately warm or tingly but very tolerable. Any post-treatment warmth or tightness subsides within a few hours.

When will I see results?

You’ll begin to notice smoother, firmer skin within a few weeks as collagen remodeling begins. Results continue to improve for 3–6 months after treatment as new collagen develops.

For best outcomes, a series of treatments may be recommended, followed by maintenance sessions once or twice per year.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Our licensed aesthetic professionals will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and customize a treatment plan that fits your needs. Whether you’re looking for subtle refinement or more dramatic rejuvenation, Virtue RF and the Ultimate Duo can be personalized for optimal, natural-looking results.
