With all the wonders that cosmetic procedures can do, it’s important to know how exactly each one works, what they do for the skin, and how to use them to achieve the most desirable results.

Many people swear by microneedling’s positive effects, as it is known to produce more radiant, youthful-looking skin. It may seem intimidating to those who have not yet tried it, but seeing how it takes away years from the face will be enough to prove it’s worth experiencing the puncture of dozens of tiny needles.

Thinking of trying microneedling? Here’s what you need to know before you book an appointment.

It exactly hits where it’s needed.

Microneedling is already amazing on its own, but combine it with radiofrequency (RF), and your skin is in for some serious rejuvenation. Belo Virtue RF delivers both fractional microneedling AND RF (radiofrequency) energy precisely where it’s needed. The process involves 36 gold-plated microneedles to make tiny wounds on the skin so that it kicks into healing mode and produces collagen and elastin. Injuries also improve the skin’s absorption of products, making it more effective.

It softens fine lines and wrinkles.

Thanks to Virtue RF, you will already be able to see the skin’s improved texture with Virtue RF. It also boosts collagen, improving skin texture by regenerating tissues. Virtue RF has three different handpieces. One of them – Smart RF – is able to minimise tissue damage in conjunction with Integrated Pulsed Radiofrequency System (IPRS) technology. This suits those who need pigmentation control as well as skin resurfacing!

It’s virtually pain-free.

The thought of so many needles digging into the skin may give off the idea that it’s painful, but that’s where Belo’s Virtue RF makes the treatment bearable even for first-timers. Just like with any procedure, a topical anesthesia cream is first applied, so you don’t have to worry about feeling anything while the session is ongoing. 

Virtue RF’s Advanced Cooling System helps reduce pain and helps with epidermal protection. Through this, it is able to deliver safer and more powerful energy!

It can contour and lift skin too!

With age, loose skin or sagging areas can also undergo Virtue RF treatment. It can lift the brows and cheeks, or reduce the appearance of a double chin. You can do it on the face, arms, and even abdomen!

Downtime is minimal.

You can resume activities as usual after your treatment. You might notice some redness – but no worries, that’s normal! According to Dr. Guada Santos-Capiz, sessions typically last for 30 minutes, but with the application of the topical anesthesia prior to the tratment and waiting for it to sit and take effect, you’re looking at a 1 1/2 to 2 hour process
