Precision skin treatments
Virtue RF, SkinPen, DermaStamp and DermaPen: four approaches to texture, scars and skin quality.
Compare radiofrequency-assisted treatment with mechanical pen and stamping techniques. Each option has its own indications and settings; clinical assessment guides device selection, sterile treatment and aftercare.
Treatment
Microneedling with controlled radiofrequency heating
Virtue RF combines fine needles with radiofrequency energy delivered at selected skin depths. The controlled heating and micro-injuries support collagen remodelling to improve texture, fine lines and selected acne scars. The clinician assesses skin thickness, pigmentation and treatment history before choosing the handpiece and settings. Outcomes develop gradually. RF treatment requires trained medical use because burns, scarring and unwanted fat loss are possible.

Precision mechanical microneedling for acne-scar texture
SkinPen uses a sterile, single-use needle cartridge to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This triggers a repair response and collagen remodelling, with treatment focused on the appearance of suitable facial acne scars. It uses mechanical needling without RF heat. Assessment covers scar type, active breakouts and healing history; active inflammation may need treatment first. A course and aftercare are planned around the skin’s response.

Focused microneedling with a stamping technique
DermaStamp uses an array of fine needles pressed onto selected skin areas in a controlled stamping motion. Localised micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s repair process and may soften the appearance of suitable small scars or uneven texture. The clinician chooses sterile equipment and an appropriate treatment depth after assessment. This method allows focused placement; results depend on the concern, device and healing response. Irritated or infected skin requires assessment before treatment.

Adjustable automated needling for skin texture
DermaPen is a motorised pen-shaped microneedling device that moves fine needles vertically through a sterile cartridge. Controlled microchannels stimulate skin repair and collagen remodelling. Treatment may improve uneven texture, fine lines and selected scars, with depth adjusted to the area and concern. It is a separate device option from SkinPen. The clinician reviews active acne, medicines and healing risks, then plans treatment and protective aftercare.
