Smarter Skin Rejuvenation. Deeper Collagen Renewal.
Improve skin texture, soften fine lines, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and tighten lax skin with VirtueRF at Glo & Glam MedSpa & Skincare.
VirtueRF combines microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. With two specialized treatment options—SmartRF and DeepRF—we can customize your treatment for the face, neck, décolleté, hands, or body.
What Is RF Microneedling?
RF microneedling enhances traditional microneedling by delivering radiofrequency energy beneath the skin’s surface.
The microneedles create controlled microchannels while RF energy gently heats targeted layers of tissue. This dual action activates the skin’s natural repair response and encourages the production of collagen and elastin.
As the skin remodels, it may gradually appear:
- Firmer and tighter
- Smoother and more even
- Brighter and refreshed
- Less affected by fine lines and wrinkles
- More refined in texture and pore appearance
Why VirtueRF?
VirtueRF is an advanced RF microneedling platform designed to provide precise, customizable treatments with minimal downtime.
SmartRF and DeepRF use 36 gold-coated microneedles and Robotic Precision Delivery technology to provide smooth, controlled needle placement. The treatment depth and RF energy can be adjusted based on your skin, treatment area, and goals.
Benefits include:
- Personalized treatment settings
- Controlled RF energy delivery
- Treatment options for the face and body
- Designed for enhanced patient comfort
- Minimal social downtime for many patients
- Progressive collagen and elastin remodeling

Your Glo & Glam provider will determine which handpiece and settings are most appropriate for your skin and goals.
What to Expect
Consultation
Your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan. The recommended handpiece, treatment depth, energy settings, and number of sessions will depend on the area being treated.
Preparation
A topical numbing cream is generally applied before treatment to improve comfort. Your skin will then be cleansed and prepared.
Treatment
The VirtueRF handpiece is passed across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels and delivering RF energy at selected depths.
Treatment time varies by area. While a full-face procedure may take approximately 20 minutes, your complete appointment will be longer to allow time for numbing and preparation.
Post-Treatment Care
A soothing post-treatment product or mask may be applied. Your provider will give you personalized instructions before you leave.
Is VirtueRF Painful?
VirtueRF was designed with patient comfort in mind. Its Robotic Precision Delivery system provides controlled microneedle placement, while RF sub-pulse technology allows energy to be delivered in smaller increments.
Most patients describe pressure, warmth, or a mild prickling sensation. Topical numbing is typically used to make the experience more comfortable.
Is There Downtime?
Downtime is generally minimal, but individual responses vary. Temporary effects may include:
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- Warmth or sensitivity
- Pinpoint marks
- Dryness or light flaking
Redness often improves within several hours, although sensitivity or swelling may last longer after more intensive treatments.
RF Microneedling Aftercare
Following treatment, you should generally:
- Avoid makeup for approximately 24 hours
- Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
- Avoid direct sun exposure
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive heat for at least 24–48 hours
- Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, acids, and other active products until cleared by your provider
- Avoid picking, rubbing, or exfoliating the treated skin
Always follow the specific instructions provided by your Glo & Glam provider.
When Will I See Results?
Some patients notice an early glow or smoother appearance after treatment. More meaningful improvements develop gradually as the skin produces and remodels collagen and elastin.
Results may become increasingly noticeable over four to six weeks and can continue improving for several months.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Many patients benefit from a series of three to four treatments spaced approximately four to six weeks apart. The recommended number will depend on:
- Your skin concerns
- Treatment area
- Severity of laxity or scarring
- Treatment intensity
- Your individual response
Maintenance treatments may be recommended every six to twelve months.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
VirtueRF may be appropriate for adults who want to improve skin texture, wrinkles, acne scars, or laxity without surgery or extensive downtime.
Treatment may need to be postponed or avoided for patients who are pregnant, have an active skin infection, have certain implanted electrical devices, take specific medications, or have medical conditions that affect healing.
A consultation and medical evaluation are required to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RF microneedling and regular microneedling?
Both treatments create controlled microchannels that stimulate the skin’s repair process. RF microneedling also delivers radiofrequency heat beneath the skin, providing additional collagen remodeling and skin-tightening benefits.
Can VirtueRF treat acne scars?
SmartRF may improve the appearance of certain acne scars by encouraging collagen remodeling and smoother skin texture. Results depend on the type and severity of the scarring.
Can VirtueRF tighten loose skin?
VirtueRF may improve mild to moderate skin laxity by stimulating collagen and elastin. It does not provide the same result as surgical skin removal or a facelift.
Is VirtueRF suitable for different skin tones?
VirtueRF settings can be customized for a wide range of skin types and tones. A consultation is required to determine the appropriate treatment parameters and discuss the risk of pigment changes.
Can VirtueRF be combined with other treatments?
Depending on your goals, VirtueRF may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan that includes BBL, HALO, injectables, PRF, medical-grade skincare, or other rejuvenating treatments. Your provider will recommend appropriate spacing between procedures.
How should I prepare for treatment?
Avoid excessive sun exposure and arrive with clean skin. Your provider may advise you to temporarily discontinue certain skincare products or medications before treatment. Do not stop any prescribed medication without consulting the prescribing clinician.
