Vivace RF Microneedling: Is it Worth It?
- Posted on: Jan 9 2024
Maybe you’ve reached a point where anti-aging solutions are top-of-mind. Perhaps you’ve been trying to find the answer for years and have yet to crack the code. The good news is that, whether the primary focus is prevention or a reduction in the signs of aging, there are proven treatments to which you can turn.
The microneedling technique is not a new one by any means. It’s actually quite old. But, the methodology of microneedling has evolved and improved with time. Here, we take a look at the value of modern microneedling; specifically, RF microneedling with Vivace.
Benefits of RF Microneedling
Men and women who want better skin don’t have to resort to rolling a fine needle roller over their own skin at home – that’s just not very relaxing. It’s also not overly effective and can be harder to control.
Today, you can sit back and relax while a trained aesthetician uses a modern hand-held device to create vertical “micro-wounds” across a specific area you want to treat. RF microneedling combines the best aspects of skincare into one treatment that:
- Tightens the skin
- Restores volume to sunken areas
- Smooths the skin for an even texture
- Reduces acne scars
- Boosts the body’s collagen production
- Reduces hyperpigmentation
- Shrinks large pores
The RF energy is what enhances collagen production, reaching deeper into the skin and providing more dramatic results than traditional microneedling.
Vivace RF Microneedling Before and After*
*Results vary depending on the treatment area, number of microneedling sessions, and skincare routine after treatment. Please consult with your provider for an understanding of your results.
Vivace Rejuvenates the Face, Hands, Neck & More
Microneedling is a skill-sensitive treatment, which makes it important to find a knowledgeable, experienced provider. Your microneedling session should be customized to your skincare needs. No matter what your concern is, the right provider will create a treatment plan that fits before performing treatments properly for the best results.
Vivace can target many areas and address a lot of skin issues effectively, which is why it’s one of the best solutions available.
Microneedling Under Eyes
The first place most people show age is around the eyes. Since this is such a delicate area, it must be dealt with carefully. Under-eye microneedling is a great alternative to fillers for dark circles.
Microneedling under your eyes can treat:
- Scarring
- Hyperpigmentation
- Dark circles
- Visible veins
For most people, more than one treatment is necessary to see optimal results around the eyes. Luckily, it’s a quick, convenient procedure with little downtime that easily fits into busy schedules. Some patients choose to pair their under-eye microneedle RF treatments with Botox for crow’s feet to fully brighten and refresh the eye area.
Does Microneedling Work for Under-Eye Bags?
As collagen and elastin decrease with age, it’s natural to start seeing dark circles and bags under the eyes. Plus, the skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkles and visible veins. We’ve all had those mornings where all the rest and concealer in the world won’t help, but microneedling can.
Microneedling under the eyes is a form of collagen induction therapy, which means it triggers the body’s natural collagen production for long-term results. Depending on how severe your eye bags are, Vivace can help. If there is a lot of excess skin around the eyes, surgery may be the better option. But if you’re dealing with general puffiness and wrinkles, microneedling offers a refreshed, rejuvenated look.
Microneedling Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Nasolabial folds and marionette lines are fine lines that deepen and become more visible with age, sun exposure, and weight fluctuations, taking away from a youthful appearance.
Also known as smile lines, nasolabial folds start at the corners of the nose, going down to the edges of the mouth. Marionette lines start where nasolabial folds end, extending down to the chin. Both types of lines generally become more dramatic through repeating facial expressions. Some patients opt to pair microneedling with dermal fillers to correct nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
RF Microneedling Neck & Chest
There are a few spots on the body where microneedling is particularly useful, and the neck is one of them. Microneedling with Vivace involves a handheld device with tiny needles to stimulate the body’s healing capabilities. This is the primary benefit of neck microneedling as it helps the body produce more collagen and elastin to improve the appearance of the skin.
Many patients continue microneedling on their chest/décolletage area for complete toning and tightening.
Hand RF Microneedling
Sometimes our hands can show age worse than our face or other areas of the body because they go through so much. From repeat sun exposure (and often being left out of sunscreen applications) to tissue diminishing as we get older, the hands could use some love.
Vivace delivers gentle micro channels into the tissue to stimulate regrowth while RF energy tightens the skin on the back of the hands.
Reasons Why Vivace is Worth It
Aside from being able to treat many areas of the body, here are reasons people love Vivace:
1. Vivace is Practically Painless
Some of the more intense microneedling techniques can hurt due to the way they hit the skin. Vivace treatments are gentler while still being effective. Most providers will apply numbing cream before treatment for extra comfort, and a soothing mask afterward to minimize redness.
2. Results are Seen Quickly
One of the best things about Vivace is how visible skin improvements can be seen only 3-7 days after treatment. The results continue to enhance with time as your body produces more collagen. Full effects may take up to four months, and you can continue treatments to maintain a healthy glow. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!
3. Most Patients Reach Their Skincare Goals After Three Treatments
With Vivace, patients don’t need to continue treatment long-term to see optimal results. We often find that three treatments are transformational. Each session should have four to six weeks between. Of course, three treatments aren’t the answer for everyone – some patients are better with more, or less – your provider will assess your skin and goals to create a plan.
4. Vivace Microneedling Works for All Skin Types
Unlike many laser treatments that have a harder time differentiating the melanin in the hair from the melanin in the skin if it’s dark, Vivace can treat tan and dark skin. This is a huge advantage over other non-invasive options as nearly anyone in good health can try RF microneedling.
5. Microneedle RF is Better Than Traditional Microneedling
With the radiofrequency addition and advanced technology, RF microneedling amplifies the production of skin-improving proteins and enzymes better than traditional microneedling. Plus, the RF energy enhances skin tightening capabilities by heating underlayers of the skin.
RF microneedling smooths wrinkles better, addresses deeper layers of skin, and treats scars better than just needle punctures that the original microneedling technique provides. All of this makes it a more customizable treatment for the different skin concerns patients have.
