Whether you’re dealing with wrinkles, sun damage, or sagginess, Vivace RF Microneedling is an excellent way to improve your skin without the need for cosmetic surgery (or a time machine). This FDA-approved treatment uses tiny needles and radiofrequency technology to tighten the skin of the face and neck, improving tone, texture, and confidence. It’s effective for all ethnicities and is the latest and greatest in skin rejuvenation. Here’s what you need to know about this simple procedure:

How Does RF Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by triggering the induction of collagen, a protein that plays a vital role in the appearance and function of the skin. Collagen production begins to slow much sooner than most people think, and can start to decrease in adults as young as 20. Lifestyle factors play a role, too, with elements like UV exposure, air pollution, and tobacco use accelerating the process. Microneedling reverses this by using micro-punctures to stimulate cellular renewal and collagen production. The result is younger-looking, rejuvenated skin.

Of course, Vivace treatments go one step further than standalone microneedling, using radiofrequency energy to heat the skin and reach the deeper layers, stimulating collagen on new levels. This produces more dramatic effects by further tightening the skin, minimizing wrinkles, and decreasing pore size.

How Soon Do Results Appear?

Treatments take roughly 30 minutes and, like all sorts of cosmetic and medical procedures, results vary from person to person. However, in general, most people see results almost right away. Like with Botox, the full effect appears in time. The number of treatments required varies but three treatments spaced out every 4-6 weeks is a typical cycle.

Some people may experience redness after the procedure while others don’t. Even so, Vivace has one of the shortest recovery times of all microneedling treatments. You shouldn’t experience much disruption (if any) to your daily routine.

Does the Procedure Hurt?

Microneedling isn’t overtly painful, but it may be uncomfortable for sensitive people, especially those who are afraid of needles. Numbing cream is often applied 30 minutes before the procedure to limit this discomfort and make the procedure as enjoyable as possible.

Whether you want to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles or you want to head signs of aging off at the pass, Vivace RF Microneedling is a fast, affordable, and highly effective option. Experience the magic of collagen and see the difference this potent protein can make.
