About Vivace RF Microneedling

Candidates for Vivace RF Microneedling

Many of us dream of soft, youthful skin free of imperfections or blemishes, and a solution to skin issues such as wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. A Vivace RF Microneedling addresses those concerns by using an innovative combination of RF energy and microneedling to restore skin from the inside out. The revolutionary skin rejuvenation process uses an applicator device that houses 36 ultra-fine, gold-tipped needles. These needles emit radiofrequency waves as they gently penetrate the skin, creating microchannels that stimulate the body’s healing response, and allowing the RF energy access to the crucial area beneath the surface of the skin. The RF energy heats dermal tissues to increase collagen production and stimulate skin tightening. RF heat is evenly distributed in the skin, and carefully controlled for a safe, comfortable, and effective treatment. The RF energy and depth of needle penetration will be customized to your complexion and desired aesthetic goals.

For added benefit, Vivace emits red and/or blue LED lights while the microneedles apply RF energy to the skin. The red LED light promotes skin regeneration, while the blue LED kills bacteria to prevent acne breakouts. [2] After a Vivace treatment, your body begins to produce new collagen, break down existing scar tissue, and reduce the appearance of other imperfections. Patients will enjoy tighter skin, youthful volume, and a reduction in scarring. [1]

Your Vivace RF Microneedling Procedure

Your Vivace RF Microneedling Treatment

The process will start after a topical numbing agent is applied to your face to ensure your comfort. The handheld device is moved evenly across the skin for even coverage of Vivace microneedling and RF pulses. The tiny, gold-tipped needles will penetrate to the appropriate depth of the dermis of the skin to create microchannels. The Vivace applicator will then emit radiofrequency waves from the needles which heat and tighten the tissues to remodel the dermis and increase collagen production. [3] For patients looking to address other skin concerns, an anti-aging red LED light or acne-fighting blue LED light is also applied to the treated areas. Aftward your treatment, a sheet mask containing antioxidants and peptides is applied to the face. It will help soothe and hydrate, while the microchannels allow for maximum absorption and benefits. Afterwards, a specialized serum containing additional rejuvenating ingredients is also applied. The entire process should take 45 minutes to complete. Patients may have to schedule future appointments to ensure optimal results.

Short Recovery Period

Most patients can resume their normal activities within 1-2 days after treatment. Some skin dryness, flaking, and redness may occur. During this time, we recommend applying a hydrating moisturizer. These symptoms should go away within 2 days. Please keep your face clear of makeup and other facial products for about 4-6 hours after treatment. Also, do your best in avoiding direct sun contact and excessive sweating for about a week.

Great Results

The radiofrequency energy accelerates collagen production in your skin, while the microneedling stimulates skin cell renewal for ongoing results. After the redness and dryness subside, you can enjoy tighter pores, fewer wrinkles, and overall glowing skin within 1-3 days. In the weeks that follow, you will continue to enjoy skin that becomes fuller and firmer to the touch. Hydrate your skin regularly, and as always, use sunscreen to protect against sun damage. Most patients may need three treatments, spaced  4-6 weeks part will provide the optimal results they want.
