Virtue RF Microneedling at AuraMed Aesthetics in Boca Raton combines the collagen-building power of microneedling with the skin-tightening effect of radiofrequency energy — delivering two proven modalities in a single treatment for superior results.
What Is Virtue RF Microneedling?
Virtue RF is a next-generation radiofrequency microneedling device that uses 36 gold-coated needles to deliver precise RF energy deep into the dermis. Unlike surface-level treatments, Virtue RF targets the structural layer of the skin where collagen and elastin are produced — triggering significant remodeling and tightening at the source.

What to Expect: Virtue RF Treatment at AuraMed Boca Raton
A Virtue RF treatment begins with 30 to 45 minutes of topical numbing for comfort. The treatment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area. During treatment you will feel pressure and warmth as the needles deliver RF energy in a precise stamping pattern. Immediately after, skin appears red and may feel warm — similar to a sunburn. Downtime is typically 3 to 5 days of redness and mild swelling.
Virtue RF Results: When Will I See a Difference?
Initial improvements in skin texture and pore size appear within 1 to 2 weeks as inflammation resolves. The primary benefit — collagen remodeling and skin tightening — develops progressively over 4 to 6 weeks and continues for up to 3 to 6 months as new collagen matures. Most patients see optimal results after 2 to 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Frequently Asked Questions About Virtue RF Microneedling
Is Virtue RF better than Morpheus8?
Both Virtue RF and Morpheus8 are highly effective RF microneedling devices. Virtue RF uses 36 needles compared to Morpheus8’s 24, allowing for more uniform RF energy distribution. Clinical results between the two are comparable. The best choice depends on your specific skin concerns, treatment area, and provider experience. At AuraMed, our providers will recommend the right approach for your goals.
How many Virtue RF sessions do I need?
Most patients see meaningful results after a single session. For optimal skin tightening and scar improvement, a series of 2 to 3 treatments is recommended. Annual maintenance treatments sustain results long-term.
Can Virtue RF be done on the body?
Yes. Virtue RF is effective for skin laxity on the neck, décolletage, abdomen, inner arms, and inner thighs. Body treatments typically require higher RF energy settings and may have slightly more downtime.
