What is Vivace?
Vivace is an advanced microneedling device that integrates the benefits of microneedling with radio frequency energy to deliver tighter skin and an increase in elastin and collagen production. Results are visible immediately and improve over time as your body’s healing mechanisms increase to encourage a youthful dermal structure and a softer, smoother skin surface.
Radiofrequency energy has been used in aesthetic treatments for some time because of its ability to heat the underlying skin tissue without damaging the skin’s outer layer. The heat kindles the body’s regenerative processes, as well as the production of collagen and elastin. The body produces both proteins abundantly when we’re young, but with age, their levels decrease. The decrease in elastic and collagen production leads to lax skin and wrinkle formation. By promoting their natural regeneration mechanisms, a tight and plump skin presence will return to attain more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling produces micro-injuries in the skin by creating tiny puncture marks as the device passes over the skin’s surface. These tiny wounds cause the body to initiate its natural healing process, which will also promote elastin and collagen production. When Vivace combines microneedling and RF energy, the skin’s aesthetic improvement is long-lasting and more dramatic because the technologies have synergy in promoting the body’s natural healing process.
Benefits
By combining technologies into a single treatment and adding some extras to the mix, Vivace offers multiple advantages over other microneedling procedures or RF treatments:
- Guarded needles and a robotic handpiece provide a high level of comfort during treatment
- Each patient can receive their precise level of correction by adjusting the needle penetration to the optimal skin tissue depth
- Potent and powerful numbing cream increases the comfort level of the treatment
- Treatment serums designed for Vivace Microneedling add effectiveness to the treatment of various skin conditions and treat a variety of skin issues
- Customized aftercare helps ensure an efficient, comfortable, and safe recovery
Treatment Options
Vivace microneedling treatment sites include the face, neck, or body. Board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Dreyfuss, will assess your situation to determine whether Vivace microneedling is the best procedure for you! This treatment system can resolve skin issues, including:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Enlarged Pores
- Rough Skin
- Uneven skin tone
- Acne breakouts
- Acne scarrings
- Surgical Scars
- Stretch marks
The Procedure
Vivace Microneedling is a highly tolerable procedure because of a potent numbing cream that is applied before treatment. Next, we pass the handpiece over the treatment area to deliver both microneedling wounds and radio frequency energy into the skin and underlying tissues. A treatment session lasts between twenty and thirty minutes.
Recovery and Results
Our Vivace Microneedling treatment typically requires no downtime. Many patients choose to schedule their treatment during their lunch break because they can return to work immediately after leaving our office.
Some patients appear flushed after treatment, but this will subside within a few hours. We recommend you use sunscreen because your skin will be more vulnerable to the sun’s UV rays. However, we ask you not to apply anything on the skin for six hours after treatment except for medical-grade calming creams or masks.
Results are immediate. Your skin may appear tighter and smoother after treatment, and the results will improve over time. With more elastin and collagen production, your underlying tissue will be firm and stout, and your skin’s surface will become soft and smooth.
With many patients, we recommend a series of treatments at one-month intervals. When we achieve your aesthetic goals, an occasional treatment session will help maintain results. Vivace Microneedling is an optimal treatment to help you achieve correction for aging skin to deliver a rejuvenated, youthful, and radiant skin glow.
