Rewriting Skin Confidence in Tuscaloosa: Virtue RF + CoolPeel Laser at Lush MedSpa.
In the heart of Tuscaloosa, Lush MedSpa offers two of the most advanced skin rejuvenation treatments available today: Virtue RF Microneedling with Smart RF and the CoolPeel Laser, delivered through the high-performance Tetra Proplatform.
These two technologies deliver impressive results individually—but when paired, they unlock even greater skin health and cosmetic benefits. Whether you’re addressing acne scars, redness, early signs of aging, or sun damage, this dynamic duo offers solutions that are both effective and safe.
What Is Virtue RF Microneedling?
Virtue RF is not your average microneedling system. It is the most advanced RF microneedling platform on the market, offering robotic precision, customizable energy settings, and the ability to safely treat all skin tones and types, including deeper Fitzpatrick levels.
Benefits of Virtue RF:
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Improves skin texture and tightness
Minimizes acne scars and enlarged pores
Controls active acne through targeted blue light therapy
Enhances firmness in the face, neck, and jawline
Stimulates collagen production with minimal downtime
Can be paired with PRP or post-care serums to boost healing and results
At Lush MedSpa, we use the Smart RF handpiece—an ideal tool for full-face rejuvenation and firming. Visible improvements can be seen after just one session, though we recommend a series of treatments for the best results.
