VirtueRF Microneedling Charlottesville, VA

Strengthen and rebuild the collagen you’ve lost.

Your Skin Restores Itself

One of Dr. Elizabeth Chance’s favorite skin treatments is microneedling. Why? Because this minimally invasive procedure stimulates your body into rebuilding essential proteins for healthy, glowing skin. VirtueRF Microneedling in Charlottesville, VA, is an FDA-approved treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, pores, and hyperpigmentation.

Commit To Collagen With Virtue RF Microneedling

Collagen and elastin are your skin's secret ingredients for firm, smooth, youthful skin. Unfortunately, these two proteins are produced less and less as you age, which causes the skin to loosen and sag. Virtue RF Microneedling takes standard microneedling a step further by adding concentrated radiofrequency energy that heats deeper dermal layers, encouraging even more collagen and elastin production.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling uses hair-thin needles to prick the skin, creating "micro-channels" that allow potent skincare serums to penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis. This results in more absorption of the product, which means better results. What's more, these microchannels are essentially mini-wounds that catalyze your body's healing process into producing new collagen and elastin cells.

Does Microneedling Require Downtime?

The best part about VirtueRF Microneedling, aside from its positive impact on your skin, is that the minimal downtime is usually only 2-3 days depending on the strength of the treatment. Some patients experience redness or slight swelling after a session, but this is totally normal and will subside in no time.

Is VirtueRF Microneedling For Me?

A hallmark of youth is hydrated, silky, supple skin. Surgical procedures yield transformative changes to the contour of your face, but they don’t improve your skin quality. Non-surgical treatments like VirtueRF Microneedling in Charlottesville, VA, do, however, and can safely become a regular part of your skin care routine. Those who struggle with the following may find microneedling helpful:

Surgical scars
Sun damaged skin
Rough, uneven skin
Blemishes and age spots
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Hyperpigmentation

VirtueRF Microneedling After Surgery

Dr. Chance often suggests VirtueRF Microneedling to patients who undergo facial surgical rejuvenation but still need healthier looking skin to achieve their ideal, youthful appearance. Microneedling is also a great way to further reduce, and sometimes erase, scars after surgical procedures. VirtueRF Microneedling, laser treatments, and good skin care are an excellent way to preserve the results of your surgical investment.

What Kind Of Aftercare Is Suggested?

For those who experience swelling or redness after VirtueRF Microneedling, a cool compress with a clean cloth or gauze can be used to ease discomfort. It is always important to protect your skin from the sun, but even more so after microneedling. Use medical-grade sunscreen, keep your face covered with a wide-brimmed hat, and stay out of direct sunlight. It is also recommended to avoid exposing your face to excessive heat from saunas, tanning beds, hot tubs, and the light.
