Micro-Channeling/Needling
Revitalize your skin with Micro-Channeling/Needling and the Virtue RF Microneedling Platform System.
What is Micro-Channeling/Needling?
Micro-Channeling/Needling represents a gentle, yet effective cosmetic procedure designed to enhance skin appearance without invasive measures. It employs a specialized tool to encourage collagen production, consequently enhancing skin tone, brightness, and overall complexion.
At iCare, we utilize the Virtue RF Micro-needling Platform System, an advanced device integrating micro-needling with radiofrequency energy. This innovative combination harnesses the body’s innate healing mechanisms, fostering the synthesis of collagen and elastin. These proteins play pivotal roles in maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, resulting in a revitalized and youthful-looking complexion.
Benefits of Micro-Channeling/Needling
Micro-Channeling/Needling has numerous benefits for the skin, including:
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Minimized pores and blemishes
- Improved acne scars and other types of scars
- Reduced hyperpigmentation and age spots
Furthermore, the Virtue RF Microneedling Platform System can offer even more benefits. By combining radiofrequency energy with microneedling, it can also help to tighten the skin, reduce sagging, and improve overall skin firmness.

What to Expect During the Treatment
During a micro-channeling/needling treatment using the Virtue RF Microneedling Platform System, a trained aesthetician will use a small handheld device to create micro-channels in the skin’s surface. The device’s fine needles penetrate the skin at a controlled depth, which ensures the safe and effective delivery of radiofrequency energy. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the treatment, but this can be managed with a topical anesthetic. After the treatment, patients may experience mild redness and swelling, but this typically subsides within a few days. Results can be seen within a few weeks and can continue to improve for several months after the treatment.
In conclusion, micro-channeling/needling using the Virtue RF Microneedling Platform System is a safe and effective way to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
