Serums to Pair with RevaFlux RF Microneedling: A Med Spa Aftercare Guide

If you run a med spa, an RF microneedling treatment is only half of the patient's experience. The other half starts at the front desk, when the patient asks what to put on their skin afterward. A clear answer, in writing, is part of a good treatment program, and a retail aftercare line can be part of the business model.

This guide is for clinic owners and medical directors who are building a RevaFlux treatment plus aftercare program. It covers the decisions to make, compares the two Vitten serums in the IDS Lasers professional shop, and shows how to cost the program per patient. We sell RevaFlux and the Vitten serums, so treat this as our view. We keep to what the product boxes and pages say, and we make no claims about results. If you want the ingredient-by-ingredient comparison, including the published research on PN and hyaluronic acid serums, read PN serum vs. hyaluronic acid serum after RF microneedling. This guide is about building the program around the treatment.

The short version

  • A program has four parts. A written aftercare protocol, a short list of products, a hand-off script for your team, and a cost per patient that you have worked out in advance.
  • RevaFlux is the treatment. RevaFlux is FDA-cleared (510(k) K243097) for dermatologic electrocoagulation and hemostasis. Its cartridges are $400 for a box of 8, about $50 per treatment [S1][S2].
  • Vitten serums are the optional add-on. Vitten Hydro Plus ($129) and Vitten PN 10 ($119) are topical, cosmetic-use serums sold in the IDS Lasers shop [S3][S4]. They are not injectables.
  • Your protocol decides timing. When a patient applies any serum is for your medical director, your device instructions for use (IFU) and your own protocol to set.

Why build an aftercare program instead of improvising

Without a plan, aftercare turns into whatever the provider remembers that day. A program fixes that in three ways:

  • Consistency. Every patient hears the same instructions, from the same handout, for the same treatment.
  • Fewer repeat questions. A written sheet can answer the common ones before they become phone calls.
  • A clear retail offer. If you choose to sell a serum, patients see one or two named products with a clear purpose, not a shelf of options.

We are not claiming a serum improves treatment results or that a retail line will raise revenue. The case for a program is operational: it makes your service more consistent and gives you something concrete to price.

Build the program in four decisions

1. Write the protocol with your medical director

The protocol covers what patients do and avoid after treatment, and when they may start any topical product. IDS Lasers does not set that protocol for you. The Vitten box gives general directions only and no procedure-specific timing, so timing belongs in your protocol, your RevaFlux IFU and your medical director's instructions.

2. Choose one or two products

A short list is easier to explain and easier to stock. The two Vitten serums cover two different formulas: Hydro Plus is a hyaluronic acid crosspolymer serum, and PN 10 adds sodium DNA extracted from salmon. The next section lines them up side by side.

3. Decide how the serum reaches the patient

Some clinics apply a product in the room. Some send one home. Some do both, or keep the serum off the menu for certain patients. Decide this once and write it down. For Hydro Plus, the syringes only dispense the serum. They are never used for injection, and your staff handout should say so in plain words.

4. Cost it per patient

Add the cartridge, the serum, and your labor. The cost section below shows the math for the first two.

Prices are from the IDS Lasers professional shop, checked Nov 3, 2026, and may change. The PN 10 box also carries the standard cautions: keep out of reach of children, avoid contact with eyes, and discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. The Hydro Plus shop page lists the same cautions.

Both serums are Vitten by Jetema products, made by Jetema Co., Ltd. in Korea.

Which one fits which program

  • A simple HA-only line: Hydro Plus lists a hyaluronic acid crosspolymer and no DNA ingredient. The three-syringe pack suits a clinic that wants to dispense measured amounts.
  • A line with a salmon-derived ingredient: PN 10 lists sodium DNA from salmon along with the same HA crosspolymer, in a smaller, lower-priced box. Screen for fish allergy concerns first and say so on the handout.

How to cost the program per patient

Start with the number you already know. RevaFlux cartridges are 13-pin, 33G, 24K gold-plated and single-use, and a box of 8 is $400, which is about $50 per treatment [S1][S2]. Then add the serum.

  • Hydro Plus: $129 for three 3 mL syringes works out to $43 per syringe.
  • PN 10: $119 for one 0.1 fl oz box.

The boxes do not say how many patient applications you will get from a syringe or a box, so we don't either. Measure how much you actually dispense, then use this:

Serum cost per patient = serum price ÷ number of patient applications you get from it

Add that to the cartridge cost and your labor and overhead. That is your cost per patient before you set a price. The Med Spa Laser ROI Calculator takes your own price per treatment, treatments per week and consumable cost per treatment, and shows monthly revenue, profit after your equipment payment, and break-even. It includes serums in the consumable line if you use them on every treatment. It leaves out labor, rent, fees and taxes, so subtract those yourself.

Device pricing for RevaFlux depends on configuration and terms, so we quote it directly. Request pricing and we will send a quote. Financing is available through our financing partners, and you can enter the monthly payment from your own quote in the calculator.

A hand-off checklist for your team

Before you add a serum to the menu, make sure each of these exists on paper:

  1. Aftercare handout. One page, in plain language, that follows your protocol. It should include the box's own warnings (external use only, keep out of reach of children, avoid the eyes, stop and call if irritation or rash appears).
  2. Allergy screening. Ask about fish allergy concerns before PN 10 is offered, because its box lists a salmon-derived ingredient.
  3. Dispensing note. If you use Hydro Plus, state that the syringe is only a dispenser.
  4. Who answers questions. Name the person patients call, and give your team the same short script.
  5. Records. Note what was applied or sent home in the chart, per your practice's policy.

What to say about the serums, and what to avoid

Describe each serum by what the box says. Hydro Plus lists a hyaluronic acid crosspolymer, and the box says that ingredient has a capacity to retain water. PN 10 lists sodium DNA extracted from salmon along with the same HA crosspolymer, and the box says it is formulated for a hydrating effect on aged skin. Avoid language that promises repair, healing or faster recovery, and never describe a Vitten serum as an injectable or as part of the RevaFlux procedure itself. They are topical cosmetic serums a patient may use as part of a skin care routine.

FAQ

What serum should a med spa pair with RevaFlux RF microneedling?

That is a protocol decision for your practice and medical director. IDS Lasers lists two topical, cosmetic-use serums that are often paired with RevaFlux treatments in professional settings: Vitten Hydro Plus ($129) and Vitten PN 10 ($119). The Vitten boxes give general directions and no procedure-specific timing, so follow your IFU and your protocol.

Are the Vitten serums injectables?

No. Both are topical skin serums for external use only. The Hydro Plus syringes are only for dispensing the serum, and they are not for injection.

What is the difference between Vitten Hydro Plus and Vitten PN 10?

Both list Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer-4. PN 10 also lists Sodium DNA, which its box says is extracted from salmon. Hydro Plus comes as three 3 mL syringes, and PN 10 comes in a 0.1 fl oz box. For a deeper comparison, see our guide to PN serum vs. hyaluronic acid serum after RF microneedling.

How much does RevaFlux aftercare cost per patient?

The cartridge is about $50 per treatment ($400 for a box of 8). Hydro Plus is $129 for three syringes ($43 per syringe) and PN 10 is $119 per box. The boxes do not state how many patient applications each one gives, so divide the price by the number of applications you actually get, then add labor and overhead.

Is RevaFlux FDA-cleared?

Yes. RevaFlux is FDA-cleared (510(k) K243097) for dermatologic electrocoagulation and hemostasis. The Vitten serums are cosmetic products, and we make no FDA claim for them.

Does a patient need to be screened before using PN 10?

The PN 10 box lists Sodium DNA extracted from salmon, so ask about fish allergy concerns before offering it, and follow your own screening process. Both boxes say to discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear.

Can I see RevaFlux and talk through an aftercare program before buying?

Yes. Book a 30-minute virtual demo, or call (469) 803-6194. Device pricing is by quote, so request pricing and financing details on the call.
