The procedure begins with the application of a numbing cream to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. A special handpiece equipped with tiny needles is then used to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin fibers that help to improve the skin’s texture and tone.

During the microneedling process, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin, promoting even more collagen production and helping to tighten and firm the skin. The combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy results in a more youthful, radiant complexion with fewer wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.

The Vivace Microneedling procedure typically takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on the treatment area. Most patients describe the procedure as feeling like a series of small pinpricks, but thanks to the numbing cream, discomfort is minimal. After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness and swelling, which typically resolves within a day or two.

The number of treatments needed varies depending on the individual patient and their specific skin concerns. Typically, a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. However, your skincare professional can provide a more personalized treatment plan based on your individual needs.
