Virtue RF Microneedling in Charlotte, NC
Advanced radiofrequency microneedling for firmer-looking skin, acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines and uneven texture — customized for your skin rather than treated with a one-size-fits-all protocol.
At Modern Skin Clinic, Virtue RF combines precision microneedling with controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin's natural remodeling response at multiple depths. Treatments are personally selected and customized by Nina Crytser, LME, based on your skin quality, concerns, tolerance for downtime and long-term skin goals.

- Acne scar remodeling
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
- Face, neck & selected body areas
Skin Longevity · Collagen Remodeling
Not simply microneedling. Not simply heat.
RF microneedling places controlled energy beneath the skin's surface while the microneedles create a precisely targeted healing response. The goal is gradual remodeling of collagen and elastin while improving visible texture and firmness.

What Is Virtue RF Microneedling?
Virtue RF is a radiofrequency microneedling treatment that combines controlled microneedle penetration with RF energy delivered into the deeper layers of the skin. The combination creates two complementary signals for skin renewal: mechanical stimulation from microneedling and controlled thermal stimulation from radiofrequency energy.
The body's natural repair process responds by remodeling existing collagen and supporting the production of new collagen and elastin. Improvement develops gradually as the skin continues its remodeling process in the weeks and months following treatment.
At Modern Skin Clinic in Charlotte, Virtue RF may be considered for patients concerned with early skin laxity, acne scarring, enlarged pores, crepey texture, fine lines or general loss of firmness. Treatment depth, intensity and number of passes are individualized instead of using the same settings for every face.
What We Treat
What Can RF Microneedling Improve?
Virtue RF can be adjusted for different treatment goals and skin areas. The best treatment plan depends on the condition being treated, skin thickness, scar pattern and the amount of remodeling desired.
Skin Laxity
Supports collagen remodeling in areas beginning to show reduced firmness, including the lower face, jawline and neck.
Acne Scars
May improve the appearance of selected atrophic acne scars and textural irregularities by stimulating remodeling below the surface.
Fine Lines
Targets early textural aging and fine lines through controlled collagen and elastin stimulation.
Enlarged Pores
Improving surrounding skin structure and texture may make enlarged pores appear less prominent.
Uneven Texture
Useful when skin feels rough, uneven or less refined because of aging, scarring or changes in collagen quality.
Body Skin
Selected areas of the body may also be treated when the concern is crepey texture, scars or mild skin laxity.

The Technology
How Does Virtue RF Microneedling Work?
During RF microneedling, very fine needles enter the skin at a controlled depth. Radiofrequency energy is then delivered through the needles into the targeted tissue.
This allows treatment to reach below the surface without relying only on topical resurfacing. The controlled microchannels and thermal response initiate a repair process involving collagen and elastin.
Because different skin concerns occur at different depths, settings can be adjusted according to the treatment area and desired endpoint. This is especially important when treating acne scars, thinner facial areas, the neck or body skin.
Acne Scar Treatment
RF Microneedling for Acne Scars in Charlotte
Acne scars are not all the same, which is why treating every scar with the same procedure rarely makes sense. Virtue RF may be useful for selected depressed or textural acne scars because the microneedles and radiofrequency energy stimulate remodeling beneath the surface.
Scar depth, scar type, skin tone and previous treatments all matter. Some patients may benefit from RF microneedling alone, while others may be better candidates for traditional microneedling, laser resurfacing or a combination strategy.
The objective is not to aggressively treat every visible mark. It is to choose the treatment depth and technology that make sense for the scar pattern in front of us.
Concerns that may be addressed
- Atrophic acne scars
- Uneven post-acne texture
- Visible pore texture
- Surface irregularities
- Residual loss of skin smoothness
Active inflammatory acne and certain scar types may require a different treatment plan before RF microneedling is considered.
Collagen Remodeling
RF Microneedling for Skin Tightening
When skin begins to feel thinner, softer or less supported, the goal is not simply to create surface exfoliation. RF microneedling works beneath the surface to encourage structural remodeling.
Virtue RF may be used on areas such as the cheeks, lower face, jawline, neck and selected body areas. It is best suited to patients looking for gradual improvement in skin quality and mild to moderate laxity rather than a surgical lifting effect.
For patients whose primary concern is skin tightening, Nina may also evaluate whether another technology or a combined treatment plan would better match the degree of laxity and desired downtime.

Experience Matters
A Treatment Plan, Not Just a Device
Nina Crytser has worked in medical aesthetics since 2003 and brings both American and European aesthetic experience to treatment planning at Modern Skin Clinic.
One of the advantages of working with a provider experienced in multiple technologies is that RF microneedling does not have to be recommended simply because it is available.
Your skin may be better suited to Virtue RF, traditional microneedling, IPL/BBL, CoolPeel, deeper CO2 resurfacing or a thoughtful combination of modalities. The treatment should fit the concern — not the other way around.
Choosing The Right Treatment
Virtue RF vs. SkinPen Microneedling
We offer both technologies because RF microneedling and traditional microneedling are not identical treatments.
Combination Treatment
Virtue RF + CoolPeel
Some skin concerns involve more than one layer. Virtue RF targets deeper remodeling through microneedling and radiofrequency, while CoolPeel uses fractional CO2 laser energy to address more superficial texture and resurfacing concerns.
For appropriately selected patients, the technologies may complement one another because they approach skin rejuvenation differently. Combination treatment is not necessary for everyone and should be selected according to skin type, goals and acceptable recovery time.
RF microneedling primarily supports remodeling below the surface. Fractional CO2 resurfacing can place more emphasis on superficial texture. When appropriate, treating different depths can create a more comprehensive strategy.

Treatment Planning
How Many Virtue RF Treatments Will I Need?
There is no single treatment number that is appropriate for every patient. A series of treatments is commonly considered when the goal is progressive collagen remodeling, while some patients may choose occasional maintenance after completing their initial plan.
Treatment frequency depends on the concern, treatment intensity, recovery and how your skin responds between sessions.
When will I see improvement?
Some patients notice early changes in skin quality relatively soon after treatment, but collagen remodeling is gradual. Improvement can continue developing over the following weeks and months.
This is why RF microneedling is better thought of as a remodeling treatment rather than a single-day cosmetic effect.
