Cartessa’s US store displayed $899 for 10 VybeRF kits on October 7, 2026, comprising 10 36-needle tips and 10 Microcurrent Dual Face Mask systems. The seller explicitly lists compatibility with the VIVACE Fractional Micro Needle RF Device and excludes VirtueRF SmartRF handpieces. Dividing the pack price by 10 gives $89.90 per included tip-and-mask set, not a standalone tip price or total session cost. Confirm the exact handpiece and applicable instructions, tax, shipping and availability.
