Vivace RF Microneedling is known for delivering impressive skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime, but what does the recovery really look like? If you’re excited about achieving clear, healthy skin, it’s important to remember there is a healing process, although short. Here’s what you can expect in the days following your treatment, and how to ensure optimal results. 

At Always Beautiful Medspa, every Vivace RF Microneedling treatment is fully customized to your skin, with personalized guidance to ensure you achieve the smooth, radiant complexion you’re looking for. Led by founder and Master Nurse Injector Ali McCoy-Stengel, LE, RN, BSN, the medspa is dedicated to precise treatment options, client education, and exceptional care.

Day 1: Immediate Post-Treatment

Right after your session, your skin may appear slightly red, warm, or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually lasts only a few hours. You may also notice a temporary glow due to increased circulation. You should avoid makeup, exercise, and sun exposure for the rest of the day.

Day 2-3: Mild Redness and Tightness

By the second day, any remaining redness is usually subtle. Your skin may feel tight, dry, or lightly swollen, which is a normal part of the healing process. Gentle hydrating products and proper sun protection are essential. Many patients feel comfortable wearing mineral makeup at this point.

Day 4-7: Texture Begins to Improve

During this stage, you may experience slight flaking or roughness as your skin renews itself. This is a sign that collagen stimulation is beginning. Avoid picking or exfoliating—letting the skin shed naturally ensures the best results. Most patients notice smoother skin and a more even tone emerging throughout the week.

Week 2: Skin Looks Brighter and More Refined

By the second week, any surface dryness has typically resolved. Your complexion should appear brighter, clearer, and more radiant, with early improvements in fine lines and texture. Although you’re still in the early phase, many people begin receiving compliments around this time.

Weeks 3-6: Collagen Production Peaks

This is when greater improvements start to shine. As collagen and elastin rebuild beneath the surface, you’ll notice firmer, tighter skin, reduced pore size, and softening of scars and wrinkles. If you’re completing a series of treatments, your next session may occur during this period, building on your results.
