RF Microneedling (Vivace) combines controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to address common skin concerns. The device uses 36 needles to create controlled micro-injuries while delivering RF energy into the skin. This combination stimulates collagen and elastin production, which can help improve the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, pigmentation, pores, and skin firmness.
Vivace can help improve common skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, and mild skin laxity. Its combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy stimulates collagen production, helping create smoother, firmer, and more refreshed-looking skin over time.
Fine lines and wrinkles can become more visible as collagen and elastin levels change with age. Vivace can help improve the appearance of these lines by supporting collagen production.
Acne can leave behind changes in skin texture that remain long after breakouts have cleared. RF Microneedling can help improve the appearance and texture of acne-related scarring.
Rough or uneven skin can affect the overall appearance of your complexion. Vivace can help refine skin texture and create a smoother-looking surface.
Approximately 45 minutes of numbing is included as part of the typical 90-minute procedure. Your skin is prepared before the Vivace device is used.
The device uses fine needles to create precise micro-injuries in the treated skin. These controlled injuries support the skin's natural renewal process.
Radiofrequency energy is delivered into the skin through the needles. The energy heats the tissue to support collagen and elastin production.
The combined treatment encourages gradual changes in the treated skin. As collagen production develops, improvements in texture, tone, and firmness can become more noticeable.
Vivace combines two technologies in one treatment to address several visible skin concerns. The approach can support collagen production while treating the specific areas where you want to see improvement.
Microneedling and RF energy work together to encourage collagen production within the skin.
The treatment also supports elastin production, which can contribute to a firmer-looking complexion.
Vivace can address several concerns, including wrinkles, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and skin firmness.
Most patients can return to their daily activities after treatment, with minimal discomfort or noticeable swelling.

Treatment can be tailored to your individual skin concerns and goals, with attention to the areas where you want to improve texture, tone, or overall appearance.
You do not need to know which treatment settings or approach you need before your appointment. Our team can evaluate your skin concerns and discuss whether Vivace may be appropriate for your goals.
Three treatments are generally recommended when a more comprehensive treatment plan is appropriate.
Treatments are typically spaced four to six weeks apart to allow the skin time to respond between sessions.
Your provider can determine the appropriate number and spacing of treatments based on your individual concerns and goals.
Improvements can become more noticeable over time as the skin responds and collagen production develops following treatment.
Fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, pigmentation, and enlarged pores can have different causes and may respond differently to treatment. A consultation with our team gives you an opportunity to discuss your concerns and understand whether Vivace is an appropriate option.
RF Microneedling is designed as a minimally invasive treatment with limited downtime. A typical Vivace procedure takes about 90 minutes, including approximately 45 minutes for numbing. Most patients can return to their daily activities afterward, although temporary skin changes may occur.
Your provider will explain what to expect after treatment and how to care for your skin. The Center recommends waiting at least six hours before applying makeup to allow the micro-tears to close and begin healing. Results develop gradually as your skin responds to the treatment.
