Virtue Microneedling RF in Bangkok, Thailand

  Many people struggling with skin concerns such as acne scars, melasma, uneven texture, or early signs of sagging may have tried various treatments without seeing satisfying results. That’s why at Mingkwan Clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, we offer Virtue Microneedling RF. This device uses advanced Microneedling RF technology to deliver energy deeply into the skin without damaging the surface. It stimulates collagen production, tightens the skin, reduces acne scars, and is gentle enough for sensitive or thin skin.
  In this article, we’ll explain how Virtue Microneedling RF works, how it differs from other devices, who it’s suitable for, and what treatment programs are available at Mingkwan Clinic.

What is Virtue Microneedling RF?

• Virtue Microneedling RF is a skin rejuvenation technology that combines radiofrequency energy (RF) with a microneedling system (tiny needles) to gently firm and lift the skin—without surgery, skin peeling, or downtime.
• This technology is specifically designed to be safe and effective for all skin types—including darker skin tones, which are more prone to pigmentation or irritation after traditional laser treatments. That’s why Virtue Microneedling RF is an ideal solution for individuals with sensitive skin, acne scars, uneven texture, chronic melasma, enlarged pores, or early signs of sagging.

How does Microneedling + RF technology work?

• Microneedling + RF uses radiofrequency thermal energy delivered through tiny needles into the dermis layer to stimulate deep collagen production—without affecting the skin surface.
• During the procedure, the needles penetrate to a precise depth and release RF energy directly from their tips. This energy helps:
  1. Stimulate collagen and elastin production
  2. Encourage the formation of new capillaries
  3. Reduce cellular-level inflammation
  4. Repair skin damaged by melasma, previous lasers, or chronic inflammation
• This process restructures the skin to become firmer, plumper, smoother, and stronger from within—without thinning the skin or causing scabbing.

What makes Virtue Microneedling RF superior to other devices?

  Virtue Microneedling RF is an advanced Microneedling RF technology designed for greater precision and gentleness than previous-generation devices. Here are the key features that make it superior:

• Robotic Precision Delivery: Instead of a spring-based system that can tug the skin, Virtue RF uses a gear-driven mechanism to guide needle insertion smoothly—making it more comfortable and safer.
• Cooling Plate: The handpiece includes a built-in cooling system that cools the skin during treatment, reducing irritation and improving comfort.
• Customizable depth and energy: The device allows for precise adjustment of both needle depth (as fine as 0.1 mm) and energy level, enabling doctors to tailor the treatment to each individual’s specific skin concerns with exceptional accuracy.
• Multiple handpiece types: Options include SmartRF, DeepRF, and ExactRF, enabling optimal treatment for different skin conditions.
• Direct energy delivery from needle tips: Ensures targeted effectiveness and minimizes surface damage.

  These features allow the device to be used in different modes depending on the patient’s needs—or even combine all three modes for comprehensive results.

How many types of handpieces are there?

  Virtue Microneedling RF offers three main types of handpieces, each designed for different skin concerns and treatment areas:

1. Deep RF Handpiece
   • Designed to deliver energy deeply, reaching the SMAS layer, with adjustable depth up to 6 mm.
   • Available in 2 sizes: 12 pins for small areas (e.g. under eyes) and 36 pins for larger areas (e.g. face, neck, body, underarms).
   • Ideal for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, fat reduction, or treating hyperhidrosis.
2. Smart RF Handpiece
   • Medium-depth penetration, suitable for the dermis layer.
   • Comes in two types: Insulated: Energy is emitted only from the tip—ideal for thin, sensitive skin, enlarged pores, and rejuvenation. Non-Insulated: Energy is emitted along the entire needle—ideal for treating acne scars, melasma, and deep pigmentation.
3. Exact RF Handpiece
   • Small handpiece for pinpoint energy delivery.
   • Used in areas requiring high precision, such as under-eye areas, acne nodules, or lipomas.
   • Available in: Insulated: For treating sebaceous glands, sweat glands, and acne cysts. Non-Insulated: For treating deep individual scars or tear troughs.

Who is it suitable for?

• Virtue Microneedling RF is not just a basic rejuvenation treatment—it also addresses specific conditions like excessive sweating and body odor. It’s non-invasive, does not peel the skin, and is safe for sensitive skin.
• Suitable for people with:
  1. Acne scars and rough texture: RF breaks fibrotic tissue, stimulates collagen, smoothens skin without peeling.
  2. Enlarged pores: Shallow energy helps tighten pores, reduce oiliness, and improve makeup adherence.
  3. Melasma or photosensitive skin: Reduces inflammation and restores skin without thinning or dark spots.
  4. Sagging skin and early wrinkles: Deep RF reaches the SMAS layer for gentle lifting without facial volume loss.
  5. Underarm sweating or body odor: Axidry program reduces sweat gland activity non-surgically.

Is the treatment painful?

  It is less painful than conventional microneedling RF, thanks to 3 core technologies built into Virtue Microneedling RF:

1. Robotic Precision Delivery: The needle insertion is gear-driven for smooth, gradual deployment, minimizing trauma compared to spring-loaded systems.
2. Fine-tuned energy control (0.5-second increments): Allows precise energy delivery adapted to each person’s skin, increasing comfort.
3. Cooling Plate: Reduces surface heat during treatment, providing a cooling sensation and reducing discomfort.

  Most patients report only mild warmth, tightness, or tolerable stinging—no significant downtime required.

Is there any downtime?

  Minimal to no downtime. Most patients only experience temporary redness for about 6 hours. Daily activities can be resumed right after the treatment. Here’s a breakdown by program:

• VirtueDeepLift:
  Redness for about 6 hours, no scabbing
  You can wear makeup and resume normal activities the next day
• VirtueMelasReju:
  Redness for about 6 hours, no scabbing
  Ideal for sensitive skin; normal activities can be resumed immediately
• VirtueSmooth:
  Redness for 6 hours; mild scabbing may occur in some areas
  Avoid makeup for 1 day and stay out of strong sunlight
• VirtueAxidry:
  Redness for about 6 hours, no scabbing
  No downtime; resume daily life as usual

Does Virtue Microneedling RF reduce fat or cause facial volume loss?

  It depends on the handpiece used and the needle depth selected. Fat layers typically begin at a depth of 2–2.5 mm. Here’s how it’s controlled:

• If you want to tighten the skin without fat reduction, the needle depth can be set to the upper dermis layer using the SMART RF handpiece.
• If you have localized fat (e.g. lower cheeks or under the chin) and want a slimmer face, the needle depth can be adjusted to 2.5–3 mm or deeper using the Deep RF handpiece.

  The physician will assess and adjust the settings to suit each individual’s facial structure and treatment goals, so you don’t need to worry about unintended volume loss unless fat reduction is intentionally targeted.

Can people with sensitive or darker skin undergo Virtue Microneedling RF?

  Yes, the Virtue Microneedling RF program is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones.

• The technology uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, which does not affect melanin production, making it safe for darker skin without causing white spots or pigmentation issues.
• For sensitive skin, the Rejuvenation tip can be used, which delivers gentler energy with precisely controlled heat.
• The device features a built-in Cooling Plate to reduce irritation during treatment.

  Our doctors can safely adjust energy levels to suit each individual’s skin condition.

Can it be combined with other procedures?

  Yes, Virtue Microneedling RF can be safely combined with other treatments. Doctors will create a tailored treatment plan based on your skin condition, such as:

• In combination with pigment-reducing lasers or melasma treatments to accelerate recovery and boost collagen stimulation.
• Alongside subcision or injectable treatments for acne scars to enhance results.
• In conjunction with other lifting procedures like Endolift or HIFU, with appropriate time spacing.

  Virtue Microneedling RF is gentle yet effective, making it flexible and safe to combine with other procedures.

How should I care for my skin after treatment?

  Post-treatment care for Virtue Microneedling RF is simple and requires minimal downtime. For best results, we recommend the following:

1. Avoid hot water or harsh scrubs on the face for the first 24 hours.
2. Do not apply makeup for the first 12–24 hours (especially in cases with light scabbing, such as VirtueSmooth).
3. Apply moisturizer and sunscreen regularly to support skin recovery and reduce irritation.
4. Avoid strong sunlight and steam rooms/saunas for 48 hours.
5. Drink plenty of water and get adequate rest to support healing.
6. If there is any scabbing, do not pick or scratch. Allow it to peel naturally.

  Generally, your skin will look better within the first 1–2 days, with visible results appearing in 4–6 weeks.
