At his Newport Beach practice, Dr. John Laura is proud to offer the most advanced skin rejuvenation technologies available—including VirtueRF Microneedling, the cutting-edge evolution of RF treatments.
Unlike older devices such as Morpheus8, VirtueRF delivers those same dramatic improvements in skin tightening and texture without the pain, harsh stamping, or prolonged downtime.
We see hundreds of patients who are frustrated with:
That make you look older than you feel
Or uneven texture that makeup can’t hide
Or laxity that worsens with age
200+ 5-Star Patient Reviews
Patients often report Morpheus8 can feel sharp and uncomfortable. VirtueRF uses a robotic motor and advanced cooling system that create a smooth, cushioned experience—virtually pain-free.
Because VirtueRF delivers precise, uniform energy, there’s less skin trauma—meaning less redness and faster recovery. Most patients resume normal activities quickly.
Morpheus8 has gained attention in recent years as a skin-tightening treatment, but it’s often associated with pain, swelling, and prolonged downtime. VirtueRF is the next generation of RF microneedling, offering more refined technology, a smoother experience, and superior comfort.
Additionally, VirtueRF treatments are often completed in less time, with less recovery, while delivering equally powerful—if not better—results.
