In many cases, different types of scars appear together on the face, thus there is a need to combine different treatments to achieve the optimal result.
RF Microneedling Treatment Singapore
Virtue RF microneedling treatment is a FDA-cleared minimally invasive aesthetic device from Korea. Engineered with Korean technology and aesthetic expertise, this device combines Microneedling (MN) and Radiofrequency (RF) technology by stimulating and triggering the generation of new collagen and elastin, leading to transformative rejuvenation of the skin through collagen induction therapy. RF microneedling treatment (RFMN) has already been recognized for its safety and effectiveness in Korea, US and Europe for treating skin issues like acne scars, melasma, wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, enlarged pores, and uneven skin textures.

What are the features of Radiofrequency microneedling that make it stand out?
1. Synergy boost
RF microneedling treatment works by combining:
Microneedling: The microneedle tip perforates the superficial layer of skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibres at the deeper skin layer.
Energy from Radiofrequency: Radiofrequency energy is transmitted through the needles to heat the deeper layers of the skin to encourage the growth of new collagen and elastic fibres, thus enhancing the skin texture and diminishing uneven skin and scar.
2. Need based Customization
The depth of the needles and the amount of radiofrequency energy delivered to the deeper skin can be adjusted and customized!
In addition, Virtue Device has 3 hand pieces, Smart, Deep and Exact that doctor can choose to treat various areas of the face and body with precise depths and settings.
36-needle Smart RF is for treating the face, hands and decollete.
36-needle Deep RF penetrates deeper into the skin and is for more intense tightening and smoothing. It is designed for facial scar, tightening and body treatment.
Single needle Exact RF is designed to target specific localised areas e.g. eye bags, small growths from the facial oil glands and sweat glands with precision.
The 3 frequency modes (0.5MHz, 1Mhz and 2 MHz) of IECS (Integrated Energy Control System) technology allow doctor to further fine-tune the distribution and extent of RF energy. This facilitates a wider range of low to high density treatments to achieve the desired treatment goal based on each patient’s unique needs.
This Dual-Action Technology ( Microneedling and RF) enables doctor to treat various areas of the face and body with pin point precision and measured intensity, making it a fully customizable treatment.
3. Comfort Emphasis
This RF microneedling device was also developed with the patient’s comfort in mind:
Firstly, its sub-pulse technology enables the breaking up of energy with sub-pulses which makes it more tolerable to patients without losing energy delivered to the skin. Translation: You get great results with less discomfort!
Secondly, it comes with an Advance Cooling System with a reusable cooling plate. When the cooling plate meets the skin, its coldness dramatically reduces the pain and prevents side effects and improves patient satisfaction.
Thirdly, it uses Robotic Precision Delivery (RPD) technology to insert microneedles gently and evenly, avoiding the discomfort and trauma associated with older devices.
Therefore, the treatment is comfortable and bearable!
4. Multifunction versatility
RF microneedling treatment addresses a comprehensive range of skin concerns:
- Improves acne scars and body scars (an effective acne scar treatment)
- Refine pore size & texture
- Lightens skin pigmentation
- Brightens skin tone
- Soften wrinkles & fine lines
- Tightens skin & enhances facial contour (delivering significant skin tightening)
- Helps reduce excessive underarm sweating
- Improves eyelid drooping and eye bag
What to expect during RF Microneedling Treatment?
-
Pre-Procedure Consultation
- Dr Wong will assess the condition of the patient’s skin to identify specific concerns and needs. He will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your desired goals.
-
Pre-Procedure Preparation
- The skin needs to be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
- Dr Wong will adjust the device setting based on your skin condition, tone, and response to previous procedures.
-
During the Procedure
- The pre-selected Virtue RF handpiece is applied to the treatment area. The sterile microneedles create micro-injuries channels into the skin and the radio-frequency heat energy is delivered from the tip of the microneedle into the skin.
- The RF energy and the microneedling promotes remodelling of collagen and elastin to both tighten and lift the skin.
- The treatment may take between 20 to 40 minutes depending on the area covered.
-
Post-Procedure Care
- Patient will experience mild redness and warmth and usually this will settle within 24 to 72 hours
- Patient needs to keep skin well hydrated, clean and makeup-free for 24 hours.
- Vigilant sun protection is important during the healing phase.
- More detailed post-care instructions will be given post treatment.
-
What is the Recovery and Expected Results after treatment?
- Day 1-2: Mild swelling, warm & redness
- Day 3-5: Skin may feel tight or dry
- 1st Month: Smoother texture and brighter skin starts appearing
- 2nd Month: Visible reduction in pigmentation, wrinkles and scars
- 3rd Month and beyond: Long-term collagen remodelling for sustained youthfulness
The skin will continue to improve for several months with collagen and elastin production. The results can last for as long as 1 to 2 years. However, it would be beneficial to have occasional maintenance treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many treatments do I need?
RF microneedling in Singapore is best done with a series of three treatments or more for optimal clinical outcome. Depending on the conditions of the skin and post treatment response, Dr Wong will advise you what is the optimal interval to return for follow up treatments.
Is there any downtime?
After the RF microneedling treatment, your skin may be red and have some slight swelling. These side effects are an expected inflammatory response to the micro-injuries inflicted on the skin, and they should resolve in 1 to 3 days. Following treatment, the patient should be able to resume daily activities within 24 hours. The skin will likely appear pinkish for up to two to three days.
Is the treatment painful?
Topical numbing is applied for comfort. Most patients report mild warmth/sting. If needed, Dr Wong will administer other anaesthesia options.
How much is RF microneedling in Singapore?
The cost of RF microneedling treatment in Singapore varies depending on the individual’s specific needs. Factors such as the size and number of treatment areas, the severity of the skin concern (e.g., acne scars, wrinkles, or skin laxity), and the number of sessions recommended for optimal results will all influence the final cost. A personalized treatment plan will be discussed with you, including a full breakdown of the fees, during your consultation with Dr. Wong.
Conclusion
If you have wrinkles, skin imperfections, acne scars, pores, loose skin or jowls, but don’t yet need or want any surgery, you are likely a good candidate for RFMN. RF microneedling is suitable for all skin types, from fair to dark skin and works well as both a corrective and preventive anti-ageing treatment.
