Original Article By Radiance Medspa Staff | When microneedling came on the scene in the mid-1990s, it seemed like the answer to boosting collagen production in order to improve the skin and fix everything from wrinkles to scars. And this treatment, which consisted of a technician using a hand-held pen or roller to puncture the skin with fine needles, was generally highly effective. By slightly damaging the outer layers of the skin, microneedling caused the body's own healing mechanisms to kick in, which led to increased collagen production and the smoothing over of wrinkles and blemishes on the surface.
In the hands of an experienced, careful technician, a series of microneedling treatments achieved very positive results. But the nature of the microneedling pens and rollers meant that consistency was difficult, and the skin could be torn or snagged. Puncturing the skin with even fine needles could also be uncomfortable - read painful -and messy.
But today, women and men in search of tighter, firmer, blemish-free skin with fewer wrinkles and less sagging don't have to choose between pain and gain. With the introduction of Vivace microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, super-fine, insulated, gold-tipped needles are applied by robotic micro-motors. What does that mean? It means that Vivace offers a smooth, precise treatment with consistent application, no tearing, no bleeding, and no discomfort when a topical numbing cream has been pre-applied.
Even better, Vivace combines the success of microneedling with RF, which boosts collagen production and can tighten skin of any age. Septuagenarians rejoice! Adding a final enhancement to Vivace, red or blue LED light therapy causes healing to soar so that this skin-rejuvenating treatment requires no downtime. While you'll see results immediately, they will improve during the next several months. Vivace is your thoroughly modern solution to fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, sagging and loose skin on the face, neck or nearly anywhere on the body.
Vivace microneedling with RF is now available in Hartford County at Radiance Medspa.
