How Does Vivace RF Microneedling work and how is it different from traditional Microneedling?
In traditional microneedling, a specialized device glides over the skin to create controlled, micro injuries in the form of tiny microscopic punctures along the skin. This prompts your skin’s natural healing process resulting in the production of skin firming proteins like elastin and collagen, which are the two “building block” proteins in healthy, youthful skin. These newly developed growth factors work to thicken the skin (which unfortunately thins as we get older) and in turn reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring. Additionally, these tiny micro-channels created by microneedling act as channels for enhanced delivery of topical skin care products.
Aesthetics Biomedical, the innovators responsible for Vivace, have created a technology that pairs microneedling with radiofrequency energy to deliver skin rejuvenation benefits beyond what either treatment could provide on its own. How does this happen? Radiofrequency boosts microneedling’s effectiveness by delivering controlled heat energy to the treatment area.
This minimally invasive treatment makes your skin firmer, tighter, brighter, and smoother. It addresses concerns like facial wrinkles and fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and texture. Best of all, Vivace RF microneedling has no risky side effects or a prolonged recovery period.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Vivace RF Microneedling?
Anyone who wants to refresh their youthful appearance without resorting to surgery is likely a good candidate for RF microneedling. Upon your complimentary consultation, our microneedling providers will evaluate your skin, talk to you about your goals, ask you questions about your health history, and suggest alternative choices if you don’t meet the criteria for Vivace RF microneedling.
What to Expect During and After Vivace RF Microneedling
Upon arriving for your appointment, one of our expert providers will get you cozy in a comfortable treatment bed and cleanse your skin in preparation for treatment. A topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Most clients describe the treatment as light pressure with a warming sensation and a feeling of minor prickling. Some areas on the face may be a bit more sensitive than others.
After your microneedling with radiofrequency, your skin will feel like you have a mild sunburn but an application of the proprietary Vivace Soothe Mask upon the completion of your treatment will bring you instant cooling relief. Your provider will also apply the Vivace Experience Boost Serum, a triple-peptide lubricating gel that helps heal the target area after microneedling. This uniquely formulated product will keep your skin soft, smooth, and resilient while new collagen develops.
Although you will definitely benefit from even just one treatment, 3-4 treatments (done 4-6 weeks apart) are recommended for optimal results and have been shown to be the recipe for success.

SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® is a top-quality device and was awarded “Top Rated Treatment for Acne Scars” and “Top Skin Care Device” in the Aesthetic Everything® 2019 Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine Awards.
SkinPen works by creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. These minor abrasions trigger the release of growth factors and cytokines that stimulate the remodeling of elastin and collagen. The treatment typically takes about an hour, depending on the size and number of areas treated and the degree of treatment requested by the patient.

Microneedling with prp
This revolutionary procedure combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, which uses your body’s innate healing factors to regenerate skin cells faster for a healthier, refreshed complexion. Since PRP with microneedling applies components from your blood, it has earned the nickname “vampire facial.”
PRP will enhance your microneedling results with fewer side effects and a shorter recovery time. That’s because the growth factors in your blood promote rapid cell turnover. Exposing your skin to a high platelet concentration can help it appear more refreshed and rej
