Common skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, can make you feel less confident in your appearance. Advanced aesthetics treatments like The Ultimate Duo can address these concerns and help your natural beauty shine through.
But what is The Ultimate Duo, and is it right for you? Keep reading to learn more about how The Ultimate Duo treatment works.
What is The Ultimate Duo Treatment?
The Ultimate Duo is a cosmetic treatment offered at The Eye Center that combines two of the most advanced aesthetic procedures, VirtueRF microneedling and CoolPeel® CO2 laser, into a single treatment to deliver optimal facial rejuvenation. With The Ultimate Duo, you can get the collagen-boosting effects of a microneedling treatment combined with the skin resurfacing benefits of CoolPeel®, resulting in brighter, smoother, more radiant skin.
If you are unfamiliar with microneedling and CO2 laser treatments, here is more about both of the treatments that make up The Ultimate Duo:
VirtueRF Microneedling
VirtueRF microneedling is an aesthetic treatment that combines radiofrequency energy and microneedle technology to stimulate collagen production. During the treatment, ultra-fine needles create tiny micro-channels on the top layer of the skin, activating the body’s natural healing process to generate new, healthy skin.
The addition of radiofrequency energy delivers controlled heat to deeper layers of the skin. The heat helps stimulate the dermis, the layer of skin that produces collagen, elastin, and hydraulic acid, all essential components of smooth skin.
CoolPeel Laser Resurfacing
CoolPeel® is a fractional CO2 laser resurfacing treatment that uses short bursts of high-energy light to remove damaged skin cells on the skin’s surface and stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. It is a precise treatment that minimizes thermal damage to surrounding tissue.
During CoolPeel® treatment, the fractional CO2 laser creates microscopic holes on the surface of the skin. As the skin heals, it results in smoother skin with fewer signs of aging.
What Skin Concerns Can The Ultimate Duo Address?
The Ultimate Duo was developed to address a wide range of skin concerns and offers comprehensive rejuvenation. Its combination of laser treatment and microneedling can target surface and deeper skin issues.
The Ultimate Duo can help address these common skin concerns:
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
As you age, your skin produces less collagen, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Both CoolPeel® and VirtueRF microneedling stimulate collagen production to promote smoother, firmer skin.
Hyperpigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone
Years of sun exposure, aging, and hormonal changes can all result in areas of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. The Ultimate Duo targets unwanted age and sunspots to give skin a more even appearance.
Acne Scars and Texture Irregularities
Acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough spots can affect the appearance of your skin. A combination of fractional CO2 laser and radiofrequency microneedling can effectively improve skin texture, leading to a smoother complexion.
Sagging Skin
As your skin loses collagen with age, it can cause your skin to sag and deepen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. VirtueRF microneedling can improve skin’s firmness and elasticity by encouraging collagen production.
What Happens During an Ultimate Duo Treatment?
The Ultimate Duo combines skin resurfacing and rejuvenation into a single treatment, which takes about an hour to complete. The Smart RF handpiece applied during VirtueRF microneedling uses thirty-six gold-topped needles to precisely target treatment areas and evenly distribute heat energy.
Full-face treatments take approximately 30 minutes and are virtually painless, although numbing gel can be applied ahead of treatment for increased comfort. Microneedling is followed by resurfacing with the CoolPeel® laser.
As the laser is passed over the treatment areas, it can cause slight discomfort or tingling, but its unique cooling technology helps manage these effects. The results of The Ultimate Duo treatments become noticeable as the skin heals.
Most people start seeing the results within a week, with continual improvement over the next few months.
What are the Benefits of The Ultimate Duo Treatment?
When you book The Ultimate Duo treatment at The Eye Center, you can look forward to fantastic benefits like:

The Ultimate Duo’s combination of CoolPeel® fractional CO2 laser resurfacing and VirtueRF boosts the production of collagen, elastin, and hydraulic acid to improve skin vitality.
Improved Skin Texture
The Ultimate Duo targets uneven skin, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne scars to create a smoother, more refined skin texture.
Even Skin Tone
CoolPeel’s® CO2 laser can effectively even out skin tone affected by pigment irregularities caused by sun damage, age spots, or hormonal changes.
