Microneedling w/ Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

We apply a topical numbing cream prior to treatment, so you may feel a warm sensation or a bit of pressure and light sparking, however, most patients report Vivace to be pain free.

The number of recommended Vivace treatments depends on your individual needs. Most patients begin to see results after the first treatment. Typically, a series of three spaced about a month apart is recommended.

Results of a Vivace treatment can be seen immediately, and you will notice a new brightness and glow to your skin. The effects get better over time as your body continues to produce more collagen and elastin with maximum results achieved at around six months.

You can treat any area of the face or body with Vivace! That means, you can tighten and firm the face, neck, décolletage, hands, arms, legs, back, and any other nooks and crannies that could use some improvement.

A Vivace treatment begins with the application of a numbing cream to the area that will be treated. Once the cream has taken effect, the Vivace applicator is placed on the skin so that the microneedles can gently puncture it and send the RF energy deep below. As this takes place, red and blue LED lights simultaneously start the body’s own healing so that when treatment ends about 30 minutes later, you simply have the look and feel of a sunburn, but you are able to immediately continue with regular daily activities.

Combining Vivace with platelet rich plasma (PRP) offers even more enhancement to the skin. Because Vivace’s microneedles open tiny portals in the skin, it’s the ideal time to add in the growth factors that PRP isolates from your own centrifuged blood. Learn more about PRP here.

Considering the dramatic and permanent benefits of Vivace, it is incredible to note that the treatment requires no downtime thanks to the healing use of LED light therapy. Post-treatment skin may feel slightly tight and have the appearance of a light sunburn. We will provide you with a post-treatment serum that can be easily absorbed through the still-open microchannels in your skin. By the next day, you can wear makeup and continue with your daily routine as usual. And unlike laser skin resurfacing treatments, which are best performed during months with less sun, Vivace can be performed throughout the year.

All of the treatments combined in Vivace – microneedling, RF, and LED – are safe and effective for all skin types.
