Vivace
What It Is
Vivace is a radiofrequency microneedling device that combines fine needles with RF energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin. The needles create controlled micro-injuries while delivering heat to deeper skin layers, prompting a natural healing response. It is used to address fine lines, skin texture, and mild scarring on the face and body.
Good Candidates
Vivace works well for people with early signs of aging, uneven skin texture, or mild acne scars who want to avoid more invasive procedures. It suits most skin types, though a qualified provider will assess your individual skin condition and goals to confirm candidacy.
What to Expect
The treatment involves a numbing cream applied beforehand, followed by the device passing over the skin in multiple passes. Most people report mild discomfort rather than pain. A typical session lasts 30 to 45 minutes depending on the area treated.
Recovery and Aftercare
Mild redness and slight swelling are normal and usually fade within a few hours to a day. Most people return to daily activities immediately, though avoiding intense exercise and sun exposure for a few days is advised.
Results and Longevity
Initial improvements in skin texture and tone may appear within days, with continued collagen remodeling over several weeks. Results typically peak around 3 months and gradually fade over time, so maintenance sessions are usually recommended annually or as desired.
