About Our Microneedling

VirtueRF is an advanced microneedling treatment available at Escape Medical PC. This innovative platform combines radiofrequency energy with precision microneedling to stimulate collagen and elastin production while helping improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and skin laxity.

As a surgeon-owned practice, Escape Medical PC provides physician-led treatment planning in a medically supervised setting. VirtueRF treatments are customized to each patient’s skin concerns and aesthetic goals, allowing for targeted treatment of the face, neck, hands, and body. With minimal downtime, many patients choose microneedling treatments to support smoother, firmer, and more refreshed-looking skin.

By delivering radiofrequency energy in a controlled manner, VirtueRF can help address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, skin laxity, and uneven texture while maintaining patient comfort throughout treatment. The platform also features integrated cooling technology to enhance comfort during higher-energy treatments performed on larger treatment areas of the body.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and support collagen production. VirtueRF enhances traditional microneedling by combining precision microneedling with radiofrequency energy for deeper skin remodeling and rejuvenation.

As new collagen develops over time, many patients notice improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality. Advanced RF microneedling treatments such as VirtueRF are commonly used to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and mild skin laxity while supporting long-term skin rejuvenation.

What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Address?

Microneedling may be used to address a variety of common skin concerns, while VirtueRF technology allows for advanced RF microneedling customization based on individual treatment goals. Common concerns include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other textural irregularities
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Sun-related skin damage
  • Crepey skin on the face, neck, and body
  • Early signs of aging

Because treatment settings can be customized, VirtueRF can be tailored to different skin concerns and treatment areas based on each patient’s goals.

What To Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to enhance comfort. During the procedure, the VirtueRF device uses fine gold-coated microneedles to create controlled microchannels while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface.

Microneedling treatment times vary depending on the area being treated. The depth and intensity of treatment can be customized to address individual concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, skin laxity, and uneven texture. Most patients describe the procedure as comfortable and well tolerated.

What To Expect After Microneedling

Following treatment, patients commonly experience temporary redness, mild swelling, and increased skin sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically improve within several days, although recovery experiences vary depending on the treatment intensity and individual skin response.

Because collagen remodeling occurs gradually, improvements often continue to develop in the weeks following treatment. Some patients may benefit from a series of treatments to achieve their desired results based on their skin concerns and treatment goals.

Our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healing and help you achieve the best possible outcome from your microneedling treatment.

Testimonials

Shannon Roberts
I had the Yumi lash lift today with Megan, she took the time to explain the procedure to me along with the after care in depth. Annie was absolutely amazing getting my appointment scheduled at a time that worked around my crazy work schedule. Both Annie and Megan made sure I was comfortable throughout the procedure and I cried with how amazing the lashes looked when the procedure was completed. Thank you for such a wonderful experience I look forward to my next visit.

I booked with Leyla for a 90 minute massage and it was incredible. She tailored it to where I needed the most work and gave suggestions on how to maintain it until my next visit. Karen at the front was super friendly and offered me a glass of wine while I waited. Facilities were newly renovated, clean, and quiet. Highly recommend.
