VirtueRF is a medical-grade radiofrequency microneedling treatment used to tighten skin, improve texture, and stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is suitable for the face, neck, décolleté, and selected body areas. The procedure combines fractional RF energy with precise microneedle delivery, promoting skin regeneration and long-term rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What is the mechanism of action of VirtueRF?
VirtueRF is a breakthrough innovation that combines fractional radiofrequency with microneedling, harnessing radiofrequency technology to effectively address various skin types and concerns. This combination functions as a renewal system within the dermis, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin, which contribute to the skin’s firmness and elasticity. The microneedles deliver controlled radiofrequency energy at various depths, creating micro-coagulation zones and promoting a complete skin regeneration process.
Over time, the tissues are remodelled, the skin texture improves, pores tighten and contours become more defined. The treatment provides an overall firming effect and a smoother, more even appearance without damaging the skin surface.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Recovery
Recovery is quick: mild redness may appear for a few hours after treatment, usually subsiding within 24 hours. This makes VirtueRF suitable for patients looking for visible, natural-looking improvement without surgery or prolonged downtime.
VirtueRF Results
Results appear progressively, with firmer and more radiant skin in the first weeks. Age spots and other pigmentation irregularities are also gradually reduced. Results continue to improve over several months as collagen regeneration progresses. The skin becomes smoother and more even, fine lines soften and the complexion regains its natural radiance.
Number of Sessions
On average, three sessions one month apart are recommended for optimal results.
An annual maintenance session is recommended to preserve firmness, collagen density, and overall skin quality over time. The exact protocol is determined during the medical evaluation to ensure the full benefits of the treatment.
VirtueRF treatment Cost
A single VirtueRF session is priced at CHF 1’100.–. A package of three treatment sessions is available at a preferential rate of CHF 2’700.–, according to the recommended protocol. A preliminary medical consultation is required to assess skin concerns, define parameters, and plan the complete treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of VirtueRF?
Unlike standard microneedling, VirtueRF delivers controlled radiofrequency heat into deeper dermal layers, enhancing collagen remodeling and accelerating visible improvement.
As a form of radiofrequency microneedling, it functions as a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment and collagen induction therapy, helping the skin rebuild structure, density, and elasticity over time.
Key benefits include:
- Stimulating collagen and elastin production
- Improving overall skin texture and smoothness
- Tightening enlarged pores and refining skin appearance
- Providing visible rejuvenation with minimal downtime
Is VirtueRF painful?
The treatment is well tolerated. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure optimal comfort.
What aftercare is required following VirtueRF?
After your VirtueRF session, you should follow your practitioner’s aftercare guidelines to support optimal healing. Key recommendations include:
- Avoid direct sun exposure and apply daily sun protection
- Stop using exfoliating, active, or irritating skincare ingredients for several days
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare to support healing — prioritise soothing products until the skin has fully recovered
Is VirtueRF generally safe?
Yes. When performed in a medical setting, VirtueRF is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure with low downtime.
What is the difference between VirtueRF microneedling and standard microneedling?
Traditional microneedling uses manual needle penetration to stimulate collagen, while VirtueRF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The RF heat reaches deeper layers of the skin, improving firmness, tightening pores, and enhancing collagen and elastin production more effectively than standard microneedling alone.
VirtueRF vs. Morpheus8 — which is better?
Both are advanced radiofrequency microneedling devices. Morpheus8 penetrates deeper layers, making it suitable for more intensive tissue remodeling, while VirtueRF offers highly controlled energy delivery, enhanced comfort, and a smoother experience with less downtime for many skin types. The best choice depends on skin needs, sensitivity, and treatment goals.
Do you also offer regular microneedling (Dermapen)?
Yes. In addition to VirtueRF, we also provide microneedling with Dermapen.
Dermapen stimulates collagen through precise micro-channels in the skin without radiofrequency. It is well-suited for improving surface texture, refining pores, and reducing mild scarring.
Key difference:
Dermapen focuses on superficial rejuvenation, while VirtueRF delivers radiofrequency energy deeper into the dermis for stronger tightening and collagen remodeling. Patients can choose based on their skin needs, intensity preference, and desired results.
