beautiful skin with no down time.
“I’m 34 years old and I had bad acne growing up. I had scarring, discoloration and advanced signs of aging. Deana, the PA at Be Youthful recommended RF Microneedling and I can say that it has significantly improved the look and texture of my skin after 4 treatments. I can’t describe how good it feels to be confident in your own skin. I only wish this kind of treatment was available earlier in my life. My results are incredible, thank you Deana!”

The newest technology offered at Be Youthful Aesthetics.
Cartessa VirtueRF Microneedling is the FDA-cleared treatment that combines the latest generation of micro needling technology with radiofrequency (RF), a proven non-invasive skin tightening method, and LED light therapy. This powerful treatment quickly and effectively reduces fine lines, scars, stretch marks, and other blemishes—in addition to lifting and firming mild skin sagging and restoring an overall smoother, more youthful appearance.
What is Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling?
Microneedling with radiofrequency, like other microneedling procedures, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production.
The penetration of the microneedles into the skin leads to a release of growth factors and triggers the wound healing cascade, encouraging collagen production which leads to younger looking skin. The needles also help to mechanically break down the scar tissue. Since the epidermis is not destroyed, as is the case with all microneedling treatments, recovery time is much shorter when compared to treatments such as chemical peels.
The goal of a microneedling with radiofrequency procedure is to target imperfections of the skin with micro-injuries which cause the release of growth factors and triggers the wound healing process which produces collagen, creating younger, tighter looking skin.
