When it comes to non-surgical skin rejuvenation, microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) is one of the most effective tools available. However, not all RF microneedling devices are created equal. At Glamor Medical, we offer both Virtue RF and Vivace—two industry-leading treatments designed to improve skin tone, texture, firmness, and overall radiance. While they may seem similar on the surface, they deliver very different experiences and results.
Let’s start with Virtue RF.
Virtue RF is an advanced, FDA-cleared radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines precision-controlled microneedles with RF energy to remodel collagen and elastin at a deep level. Unlike other devices, Virtue offers multiple handpieces for customized treatment, whether you’re targeting the face, neck, under-eye area, or body.
The technology uses tiny, gold-coated needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin while simultaneously delivering RF energy deep into the dermis. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering collagen and elastin production over time. The result: firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Virtue RF is versatile and suitable for a wide range of skin concerns:
Virtue RF’s standout feature is the Exact RF handpiece—a single-needle applicator explicitly designed for delicate areas like around the eyes and mouth. It allows for precise, targeted tightening without damaging surrounding tissue.
Virtue RF is a comfortable, professional-grade procedure performed in-office. After applying a numbing cream, the provider glides the chosen handpiece across the skin, adjusting depth and intensity based on your needs.
You may experience some redness or swelling immediately after, but most patients resume normal activities within a day or two. For best results, we recommend a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6–12 months.
Patients often notice smoother skin after just one session, with continued improvements in firmness and texture over the next several weeks.
If you’re researching RF microneedling options, chances are you’ve also heard of Vivace. Like Virtue, Vivace is a highly regarded treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency and LED technology. So, how do you choose?
It comes down to two things: results and downtime.
Vivace is an excellent entry-level RF microneedling option. It provides noticeable skin tightening and glow, especially when done in a series. What makes Vivace attractive is how gentle it is—you’ll likely have only mild redness for a few hours, and you can wear makeup the next day. It’s perfect for clients who want a collagen boost without interrupting their schedule.
Virtue RF, on the other hand, delivers deeper remodeling. Its customizable handpieces allow us to treat more complex concerns (like under-eye bags or neck crepiness) with greater precision. It penetrates deeper into the skin, which can lead to slightly more downtime—typically 1–3 days of redness or sensitivity. However, the results are often more dramatic, especially for moderate to advanced signs of aging.
Think of it this way:
Vivace is an excellent option for a quick refresh with zero downtime.
If you’re ready for powerful, long-term skin transformation and can take a day or two off, Virtue RF is worth it.
Both treatments are valuable tools in our anti-aging arsenal, but Virtue RF offers a level of customization and precision that sets it apart, especially for clients seeking real, visible change.
