THE Ultimate Duo CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling Combo in Portsmouth, NH
Maximize results with this powerful skin rejuvenation combo: CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling.

Located in Portsmouth, our Medical Spa & Wellness offers CoolPeel and Virtue RF microneedling combo, an advanced treatment that rejuvenates skin. This dual approach allows the two techniques to work together for better results than either of them alone can produce. CoolPeel removes damaged skin, while RF microneedling triggers collagen and elastin rebuilding deeper down for significant improvements in tone, texture, scars, fine lines, and wrinkles. Our experienced practitioners customize treatment plans for each patient to achieve the best outcomes with these state-of-the-art technologies.
What Is a CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling Combo?
CoolPeel and Virtue RF microneedling combo is a type of cosmetic procedure that combines laser skin resurfacing with radiofrequency microneedling. It involves applying laser energy to the skin using the SmartXide Tetra CO2 device, followed by rolling tiny needles over the skin, which deliver radiofrequency energy below the surface. This combined treatment aims to improve skin texture, reduce scars, and tighten it by stimulating collagen production.
Preparation for CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling Combo
Before receiving this procedure, a consultation is scheduled to determine if the patient is a good candidate. We evaluate the person’s medical history and skin concerns, set appropriate expectations about results, and explain what the treatment entails from start to finish. Patients are given pre-procedure instructions, such as avoiding sun damage due to prolonged exposure, stopping the use of certain medications/skin products, and preparing the target areas by thoroughly cleaning the skin. We also create a customized plan based on the patient’s skin analysis. With proper preparation and by following all pre- and post-procedure guidelines, each person can see significant skin improvements from our advanced treatment.
CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling
Combo Procedure
Step 1: Anesthesia
Step 2: Virtue RF Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and renewal. Our device adds radiofrequency energy to heat tissue and further stimulates skin rejuvenation processes. A Virtue handpiece with 36 tiny needles on the tip is moved over treatment areas. If the procedure is done without the topical cream, patients may feel some mild discomfort from the needles and heating. Multiple passes are made to achieve the desired results.
Step 3: CoolPeel
Laser Treatments
The CoolPeel laser resurfacing procedure uses SmartXide Tetra CO2 technology to remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen production. Depending on the size of the area being treated, it takes up to 30 minutes (in most cases, 5-15 minutes). Patients wear protective eyewear during the laser treatment. They may feel some mild discomfort and heat from the laser pulses. However,it can be avoided by applying a topical cream.
Recovery After CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling Combo
After undergoing the CoolPeel laser resurfacing and Virtue RF microneedling, patients may experience a burning sensation for about one hour. In most cases, it goes away approximately 30 minutes after treatment. During the first few days of healing, the skin may feel dry and scaly, so it is important to keep the target areas well-hydrated. Patients are advised to follow our aftercare instructions closely to support recovery and avoid complications.
Candidates for CoolPeel and Virtue RF Microneedling Combo
Skin Texture Problems (Acne Scars, Wrinkles, and Fine Lines)
CoolPeel and Virtue RF microneedling combo can help to improve the texture and tone of the skin. It is ideal for those looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, surgical traces, and enlarged pores. The treatment smoothes and tightens skin to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Preferably Lighter Skin Tone
CoolPeel can be used safely on all skin tones. However, it achieves optimal results on lighter ones, ranging from Fitzpatrick skin types I to III. On such skin, the treatment is the most effective, and there are no side effects. Those with medium or olive skin tones will still achieve good results, but they may need more sessions to address all issues.
Mild to Moderate Sagging Skin
This treatment is a good option for patients with mild and moderate loose skin on the face or body. It can help to lift and tighten skin through collagen stimulation and dermal remodeling. While the results are more subtle than a surgical facelift, they may still be impressive. Patients with mild to moderate skin laxity and good skin elasticity are the best candidates for combined CoolPell and microneedling.
Enlarged Pores
The RF technology used in this treatment can minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. It does so by stimulating collagen production, which thickens and tightens the skin around pores to create a smoother, more refined look. Patients struggling with noticeable pores on their nose, cheeks, chin, or other areas of the face and body may benefit from this procedure.
Commitment to Multi-Stage Treatment
The full results of CoolPeel and microneedling require multiple sessions and proper aftercare. Ideal candidates should be prepared to attend all recommended procedures over several weeks or months. They must also be committed to following all instructions to support healing and maximize treatment efficacy. The length and intensity of procedures depend on individual factors. We will discuss all of these nuances during the initial consultation.
