How Does VIVACE RF Needling Work?
As with traditional skin needling, hundreds of tiny perforations are made in the skin, inducing the body’s natural healing cascade to trigger the production of collagen, elastin, and growth factors. Collagen is the protein which provides the skin its youthful firmness, support and structure, and this deteriorates over time. Loss of this skin support, thickness, and elasticity will also make pores appear larger and more stretched. Stimulating collagen will help to tighten and volumise the face, which will in turn reduce the appearance of enlarged pores, as well as lines and wrinkles. The tiny, sterile needles used in VIVACE also act as conductors for radiofrequency energy, which is delivered deep into the dermis at about 3.5mm deep. This dramatically amplifies the skin’s collagen induction, resulting in advanced skin tightening and pore reduction.
Is VIVACE Right For Me?
VIVACE is an extremely customisable treatment, making it suitable for a wide variety of patients and skin concerns. Our Skinnotion nurses can adjust the depth of your needling treatment, ranging from 0.5mm to 3.5mm. We can also customise the strength of RF energy delivered to the skin, as well as the number of passes, ie. whether we go over the treatment area a second time. This means that whether you’re seeking mild rejuvenation or significant tightening of your pores, we can deliver incredible results tailored to you. We can even treat the most delicate areas of the skin, such as around the eyes. Irrespective of your needs, skin type, skin colour, or condition, VIVACE will likely be an excellent treatment for you.
What Can I Expect During Treatment?
What Is The Downtime For VIVACE?
Your skin will experience heat and tenderness for the first day, and mild redness and sensitivity for 1-2 days post-treatment. You may experience some skin shedding or flaking during the first week, depending on the depth and number of passes conducted during your session. It is crucial to apply sun protection, avoid exfoliating agents, and keep skin well hydrated in the 5-7 days following treatment
