Skin Tightening

Skin tightening treatments and radiofrequency microneedling are two popular, non-invasive cosmetic procedures that aim to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Skin tightening uses a device to heat the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing sagging and wrinkles. Radiofrequency microneedling penetrates the skin’s surface with tiny needles, releasing thermal energy and stimulating collagen production. Both treatments are gentler than more invasive cosmetic procedures, such as facelift surgery, and can achieve similar results in shorter periods. Results vary depending on the individual, but both treatments are safe and effective when performed by a qualified professional.
If you’re considering either of these treatments, consult our certified providers at 4esthetics Lounge. Skin tightening treatments and radiofrequency skin tightening is an advanced form of microneedling that is often used to improve the skin’s overall appearance. Unlike standard microneedling, these procedures use a device that delivers an intense burst of heat just beneath the skin’s surface. This burst helps to stimulate collagen production and boost cellular turnover, resulting in tighter and firmer skin.

Radiofrequency skin tightening with Virtue RF microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure combining two popular treatments. It uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and microneedling to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other signs of aging. The result is a more youthful-looking complexion with improved texture and tone. In addition to the aesthetic benefits, this treatment also helps stimulate collagen production for long-term skin health. With just one session of Radiofrequency Microneedling Virtue RF, you can enjoy younger-looking skin that feels smooth and healthy. It’s easy to bring out your best complexion without surgery or downtime.
The procedure is safe and effective for all skin types, and there is no damage to the surrounding skin. The radiofrequency energy penetrates deep into the dermal layer of your skin to stimulate collagen production, tighten pores, reduce puffiness and wrinkles, and improve texture. During treatment, your technician will use a handheld device that contains tiny needles to deliver the radiofrequency energy in short, concentrated bursts. This is done by passing the device across your skin.
Smart RF skin tightening procedures use Robotic Precision Delivery to ensure a fully controlled treatment and smooth results. Since everyone’s skin is unique, it is important to adjust to the depth of the pricks based on your individual treatment plan. The Smart RF technology has 36 needles to improve comfort with the pressure more spread out than a single needle. This treatment also allows for improved comfort without compromising the results.
Deep RF skin tightening utilizes advanced technology to help you achieve smooth and even skin. The treatment is a non-invasive facial procedure that requires no downtime and promises safe, effective, and lasting results. Deep RF eliminates fine lines and wrinkles, lifts sagging skin, reduces age spots, and restores a more even skin tone.
The deep radiofrequency skin tightening treatment is typically performed in three to four sessions, each lasting around 30 minutes. During the treatment, a specialized device is used to target the deeper layers of your skin. This stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer and smoother skin that appears younger-looking. The Deep RF skin tightening treatment uses 36 tiny needles and a cooling plate for improved skin tightening effects from facial microneedling.
Exact RF skin tightening is perfect for those looking to reduce the signs of aging. Using fractional radio frequency (RF) technology, this non-invasive procedure delivers skin tightening and wrinkle reduction effects with virtually no downtime. The Exact RF skin tightening treatment uses only one needle to more accurately and safely target vulnerable areas of the face, like the eyes and mouth. This revolutionary skin tightening method helps you look younger by improving collagen production and reducing wrinkles. The technology offers three different intensities to tailor the skin tightening treatment to your individual needs and desired results. Additionally, Exact RF helps to reduce skin laxity with a lifting and tightening effect.

Skin tightening treatments use energy-based technologies to heat the skin and stimulate collagen production gently. The result is improved skin tightness, reduced wrinkles, and a more even skin tone. This non-invasive procedure typically requires no downtime and has minimal side effects.
With skin tightening treatments, you can expect smoother, firmer skin with improved texture, tone, and elasticity. Skin tightening treatments can also reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and diminish age spots. After a series of these device treatments, you should see an overall improvement in your skin’s appearance.
For optimal results, it is recommended that patients get follow-up treatments every few months during the first year. This will help maintain the improved tone and elasticity of your skin. It’s also essential to practice good skin care habits, such as wearing sunscreen and avoiding too much sun exposure, to preserve the results of your treatments.
It is important to note that the full effects of Virtue RF typically take several weeks to become visible, but improvements can be seen over time. While some patients will see an immediate improvement in skin texture and tone, others may need multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. Your doctor can advise you on the best approach, depending on your individual needs and goals.
To prepare for your Virtue RF treatment, you should inform your provider if you have any medical conditions or take any medications that may interfere with the procedure or its results. Additionally, you should avoid using topical skincare products that may increase the risk of complications during or after your treatment. Following your provider’s instructions for pre-treatment skin care is essential to ensure the best possible results.
Avoid alcohol, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other blood thinners in the days leading up to your RF microneedling treatments. These substances can increase the chances of excessive bleeding, bruising, and swelling. It is also a good idea to discontinue tanning bed use, self tanning lotion, or excessive sun exposure for several weeks prior to each session as well as in between sessions. Your skin must heal entirely after each visit and before the next visit. Tanning lotion and heat exposure can contribute to slowed healing.
Your treatment begins with a consultation and a custom plan based on your skin’s current condition and your goals. Once you’re comfortably numbed, your 4esthetics specialist will glide the Virtue RF handpiece across the treatment area. You’ll feel a gentle warmth and light pressure as the device works—most clients find it very tolerable.
The session takes about 45–60 minutes, depending on the area treated. Afterward, you may experience mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which usually fades within 24–48 hours.
“The beauty of Virtue RF microneedling is it can be customized to every patient based on the specific goals and the unique handpieces for all treatment needs. The technology used is smooth and precise, using the Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) system by inserting gold microneedles into the deep layers of the skin and delivering heat that essentially promotes collagen production.
If you want treatment focused on fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, scarring, and overall improvement in skin texture, the “smart” handpiece is chosen for the face. If you’re looking for under-eye stubborn bag removal, the “exact” handpiece is optimal. For tightening and toning underarms, abdomen, and thighs, the “deep” handpiece would be chosen. Pain and downtime are minimal, making Virtue RF a chosen treatment option for all patients.”

Virtue RF can be used on both the face and body, making it ideal for a wide range of concerns, including:
It’s particularly loved for refining the lower face and neck—areas where early aging tends to show first.
The biggest benefit? Tighter, smoother skin that looks refreshed but still like you. This treatment delivers a natural-looking lift without the risk, cost, or recovery time of surgery. It also improves skin tone and texture, reduces fine lines, and can shrink pore size as collagen rebuilds over time.
Because Virtue RF works below the surface, your results develop gradually and continue to improve for several weeks post-treatment.
Most people looking to improve mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, or crepey texture are excellent candidates. It’s safe for all skin tones and can be tailored to your comfort and goals.
This treatment isn’t intended for dramatic lifting or severe laxity—that’s better suited for surgical procedures—but it’s an ideal choice if you want a refresh that looks natural and gets better over time.
Expect some redness and a slightly tight feeling right after your session—that’s your skin doing its job. Most clients are back to normal within a day or two. There’s no peeling, no heavy restrictions, and no need to miss work or social events.
Once you have undergone a Virtue RF procedure, it is recommended that you keep your skin hydrated and well-protected from the sun to maintain the results. Following your doctor’s instructions for skincare before and after treatment is essential for optimal results. This may include avoiding certain products such as exfoliants, retinoids, or alpha hydroxy acids in the weeks preceding and following treatment. Your doctor may also recommend using a topical cream or serum to help accelerate healing and enhance results.
As collagen production ramps up, your skin will appear more lifted, smooth, and radiant. It is important to note that the full effects of Virtue RF typically take several weeks to become visible, but improvements can be seen over time.
While some patients will see an immediate improvement in skin texture and tone, others may need multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. For optimal results, it is recommended that patients get follow-up treatments every few months during the first year. This will help maintain the improved tone and elasticity of your skin. Your doctor can advise you on the best approach, depending on your individual needs and goals. It’s also essential to practice good skin care habits, such as wearing sunscreen and avoiding too much sun exposure, to preserve the results of your treatments.

Skin tightening is a revolutionary skincare treatment designed to stimulate collagen production, resulting in a more youthful and smoother complexion. This advanced technology combines radiofrequency waves with specific topical ingredients to create a healthier and toned look. With this treatment, you'll be able to reduce wrinkles, age spots, small scars, and other signs of aging. Plus, the results are nearly immediate! After just one session, you'll notice an improvement in your skin's elasticity and tone. You may also see a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and dark spots. Over time, this treatment will help to reduce the impact of sun damage and environmental pollutants, resulting in a more vibrant and youthful look. The skin tightening treatment is safe, non-invasive, and painless—you can enjoy the benefits without downtime or side effects.
After your skin tightening treatments, you will want to follow a few tips and tricks to ensure the best possible results. Here are some general guidelines that should be followed. Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks after treatment. This includes avoiding tanning beds, direct sunlight, and artificial UV light sources. The healing process needs to be protected, and the ultraviolet radiation from the sun can cause damage. Refrain from consuming alcohol or smoking cigarettes for at least a week after treatment. Both activities interfere with healing processes and may lead to delayed results or complications. Use an SPF 30+ sunscreen outdoors for the two weeks following the treatment. This will help protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays and further damage.
RF microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that helps to reduce wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. The treatment creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production. It also delivers radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin, promoting tightening and rejuvenation.
Common side effects of skin tightening include mild redness or swelling, numbness, itching, or burning sensation. These generally subside within a few hours or days after the procedure. Other less common side effects may include skin texture and color changes, scarring, bruising, and sagging of the treated area.
The effects of skin tightening can last up to two years, depending on the type of treatment used and other factors such as lifestyle choices. Laser treatments typically provide more long-lasting results than non-invasive procedures like radiofrequency or ultrasound therapy. However, it is essential to remember that these treatments do not stop the natural aging process, and regular maintenance is recommended to maintain the effects of skin tightening.
The effects of skin tightening treatments can be seen almost immediately, with the full results appearing within a few months after your final treatment. Depending on the extent of sagging or loose skin, you may need multiple treatments over time to achieve your desired outcome. During this post-treatment recovery period, you’ll notice a gradual improvement in skin laxity and a more youthful, firmer-looking appearance. Your skin will also feel smoother, tighter, and better hydrated. Ultimately, you should be pleased with the results of your skin tightening treatments, as they can help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines while enhancing your overall complexion.
When it comes to skin tightening treatments, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. Skin aging and laxity can occur at different rates depending on factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle habits, and skincare routine. As such, the ideal schedule for skin tightening treatments will vary from person to person. Generally, it is recommended to start with a series of treatments at 3-4 week intervals for optimal results.
