Virtue RF Microneedling in Fayetteville, NC
At Elan Med Spa, we offer Virtue RF Microneedling — one of the most effective, minimally invasive treatments available for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and overall skin rejuvenation. Proudly physician-owned and twice named Best Med Spa in Fayetteville by Up & Coming Weekly‘s Best of Fayetteville (2024 & 2025), we combine medical expertise with cutting-edge technology to help you look and feel your best.
What Is Virtue RF Microneedling?
Virtue RF Microneedling is an advanced skin treatment that combines two powerful technologies: traditional microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) energy. During the procedure, ultra-fine, gold-plated needles create tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. At the same time, those needles deliver RF energy deep into the skin’s tissue — a layer that topical creams and basic facials simply can’t reach.
The result? Your body’s natural healing response kicks in, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin — the building blocks of firm, youthful-looking skin. Over the following weeks, you’ll notice your skin becoming tighter, smoother, and more even in tone and texture.
How Does It Work?
The Virtue RF system is uniquely designed to deliver radiofrequency energy at precise, controlled depths within the skin — targeting everything from the surface down to the deeper layers where collagen is produced. This dual-action approach means you get surface-level skin resurfacing and deep tissue remodeling in a single treatment session.
At Elan Med Spa, our providers customize your treatment parameters — needle depth, RF intensity, and treatment patterns — based on your individual skin concerns and goals. This level of personalization is only possible in a medically-supervised setting.
What Can Virtue RF Microneedling Treat?
Virtue RF Microneedling is a versatile treatment used to address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles (forehead, crow’s feet, around the mouth)
- Loose or sagging skin on the face and neck
- Enlarged or open pores
- Acne scars and other types of scarring
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun damage and age spots
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Skin laxity on the décolletage and body
Supercharge Your Results:
Treatment Add-On Options
Virtue RF Microneedling is already a powerful standalone treatment — but for patients who want to push their results even further, we offer two premium add-ons that work hand-in-hand with the microneedling process. The micro-channels created during your Virtue RF session open a direct pathway into the deeper layers of skin, making it the ideal moment to introduce additional regenerative ingredients.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) — The Original
“Vampire Facial”
PRP therapy uses the healing power already inside your own body. A small blood sample is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma — a component packed with growth factors that signal your skin to repair and rebuild. When applied during or after Virtue RF Microneedling, PRP travels deep through the micro-channels into the tissue where collagen production begins.
The result is a powerful synergistic effect: RF energy remodels the deeper structural tissue while PRP floods the area with your body’s own regenerative signals. Patients who add PRP typically see faster recovery, enhanced collagen production, and more dramatic improvements in firmness and skin quality — often in fewer sessions than microneedling alone.
PRP is an excellent choice for patients dealing with acne scarring, significant skin laxity, or anyone looking to maximize results from each appointment.
VAMP™ Salmon DNA (PDRN) —
Next-Generation Skin Revitalization
VAMP™ by Prollenium is one of the most exciting innovations in medical aesthetics — and we’re proud to offer it at Elan Med Spa. VAMP™ is a sterile, topical bio-revitalizing solution that harnesses the power of PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a regenerative molecule derived from salmon DNA. Salmon DNA shares a remarkable structural similarity to human DNA, making PDRN highly biocompatible and exceptionally effective at stimulating the skin’s own repair processes.
VAMP™ combines PDRN with a potent blend of vitamins, amino acids, and minerals to deliver deep hydration, collagen stimulation, and cellular repair all at once. Applied immediately after Virtue RF Microneedling, VAMP™ penetrates through the open micro-channels to reach the deeper layers of skin where it can do the most good — nourishing, repairing, and regenerating at a cellular level.
VAMP™ is an ideal add-on for patients who want to address:
- Deep hydration and skin plumpness
- Dullness, uneven tone, and loss of radiance
- Fine lines and loss of skin elasticity
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Faster recovery and reduced downtime after treatment
VAMP™ is also sometimes called the “Glass Skin Facial” — a nod to the Korean beauty concept of achieving intensely smooth, luminous, almost translucent skin. If that sounds like your kind of result, this add-on is worth exploring.
Which Add-On Is Right for You?
Both PRP and VAMP™ pair beautifully with Virtue RF Microneedling, and some patients choose to combine all three for the ultimate skin rejuvenation experience. The best choice depends on your skin concerns, goals, and budget. Your provider will walk you through the options during your consultation and help you build the right treatment plan.

What to Expect: Before, During, and After Your Treatment
Before Your Appointment
Your provider will review your skin concerns, medical history, and skincare routine during a consultation. You may be asked to avoid certain medications, retinoids, or sun exposure in the days leading up to your appointment. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout.
During Your Appointment
Most Virtue RF Microneedling sessions take between 45 and 90 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. The procedure is well-tolerated by most patients, with only mild pressure or warmth sensations. No general anesthesia or sedation is required.
After Your Appointment
Mild redness, swelling, or a feeling similar to a sunburn is normal for 24–72 hours after treatment. Most patients return to regular activities within a day or two. Full results develop gradually over 3–6 months as your body continues to produce new collagen. A series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.
Frequently Asked Questions About Virtue RF Microneedling
Is Virtue RF Microneedling painful?
Most patients find the procedure very tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort. You may feel warmth or mild pressure, but significant pain is uncommon.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see their best results after a series of 3 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Some concerns — like deep acne scars — may benefit from additional sessions. Your provider will give you a personalized recommendation during your consultation.
When will I see results?
You may notice an initial glow within days of your first treatment as the healing process begins. More significant improvements — especially in skin firmness and texture — become visible over 4–8 weeks and continue to build for up to 6 months.
Is there any downtime?
Virtue RF Microneedling has minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing procedures. Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 1–3 days. You can typically resume normal activities within 24–48 hours, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, direct sun exposure, and makeup for a day or two.
Is Virtue RF Microneedling safe for all skin tones?
Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, RF microneedling is safe and effective across all skin types and tones. Because the energy is delivered through the needles rather than via light, there is minimal risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation.
