What is Vivace Experience®?
Vivace Experience® is an advanced, minimally invasive microneedling and facial rejuvenation treatment combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy, designed to tackle common skin concerns. Unlike traditional microneedling, Vivace adds RF energy to enhance the skin’s healing process, stimulating collagen production and leading to smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin.
This revolutionary treatment offers impressive results with minimal downtime, making it a go-to for people seeking a subtle but transformative boost to their skin. Using tiny, gold-tipped needles, Vivace creates microscopic channels in the skin while delivering RF energy deep within.
This combination maximizes the skin’s ability to rejuvenate by promoting the natural healing process, triggering collagen and elastin production, and enhancing skin texture, firmness, and radiance.
Target Areas and Concerns for Vivace Experience®
Vivace Experience® isn’t just for one type of skin or a single issue. The adaptability of this RF microneedling treatment makes it suitable for various skin types and issues. Here are the primary target areas and concerns Vivace effectively addresses:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles. Vivace goes beyond simply addressing surface-level fine lines; it penetrates deeper skin layers, targeting fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. The combination of RF energy with microneedling delivers a synergistic effect, stimulating collagen production for natural-looking, smoother skin over time.
- Acne Scars and Blemishes. For those dealing with acne scars or rough patches from past breakouts, Vivace offers a transformative approach. By creating microchannels in the skin, it promotes the growth of fresh tissue and accelerates healing, smoothing out scars and blemishes, and revealing a more even, refined skin texture.
- Skin Laxity and Firmness. As collagen production naturally slows with age, skin can start to sag and lose elasticity. Vivace’s RF technology delivers controlled heat to the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin to firm and tighten the skin, restoring a youthful, lifted appearance.
- Uneven Skin Tone and Texture. From sun damage to the natural aging process, uneven skin tone and texture can be a significant concern. Vivace’s dual-action of RF energy and microneedling helps target these issues, gradually evening out tone and texture, reducing dark spots, and revealing a luminous complexion.
- Enlarged Pores. If enlarged pores are a persistent concern, Vivace can help minimize their appearance by refining the skin’s overall texture. As the microchannels stimulate cellular regeneration, the skin appears smoother and pores look smaller, giving you a more polished and flawless finish.
- Neck and Décolleté Rejuvenation. Skincare shouldn’t stop at the face. Vivace is also highly effective for the often-neglected neck and décolleté areas, helping to reduce sagging skin and wrinkles in these regions. This leads to a cohesive rejuvenation from the face down to the chest, giving a more youthful, unified look.
Effective Preparation Tips for Your Vivace Microneedling Session
Preparation is key to ensuring a smooth and successful Vivace treatment. These preparation steps will help you optimize your anti-aging skin therapy session’s results and make the entire experience as enjoyable as possible.
1. Schedule a Consultation
Before diving into your first Vivace session, schedule a consultation with your aesthetic provider. This appointment is essential for discussing your skincare goals, assessing your skin type, and determining whether Vivace is the right option for you. During the consultation, feel free to ask questions about the treatment process, recovery expectations, and post-treatment skincare.
2. Consistent Hydration
Hydration plays a significant role in skin resilience and healing. In the days leading up to your Vivace session, increase your water intake to keep your skin cells hydrated and ready to absorb the benefits of the treatment. Hydrated skin also minimizes the chances of post-treatment dryness.
3. Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning
Sunburned or recently tanned skin can lead to increased sensitivity during microneedling and may compromise your results. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and any tanning products at least one to two weeks before your session. Applying sunscreen daily is always recommended, especially when preparing for any laser or microneedling procedure.
4. Steer Clear of Exfoliants and Retinoids
Strong exfoliants, chemical peels, and retinoids can make your skin more sensitive. Refrain from using these products for about a week before your session. This step guarantees that your skin is calm and less prone to irritation, maximizing the efficacy of the Vivace treatment.
5. Discontinue Blood-Thinning Medications
Certain medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E, can thin the blood, increasing the risk of bruising during microneedling. Consult our provider about pausing any blood-thinning medications or supplements for a few days before your treatment.
6. Arrive with a Clean Face
On the day of your session, cleanse your face thoroughly and skip makeup, moisturizers, or sunscreen. Arriving with a bare face allows your provider to start the treatment without any residue that could interfere with the microneedling process.
7. Plan for a Day Off from Social Events
Although Vivace has minimal downtime, you may experience slight redness or sensitivity after the session. Plan your treatment on a day when you can relax afterward. Taking a day off from social events lets your skin breathe and heal without any external factors.
8. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine Before Your Session
Alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate the skin and increase blood flow, leading to potential swelling or bruising. Try to avoid these for at least 24 hours before your Vivace appointment to help your skin stay calm and responsive.
9. Prepare for Post-Treatment Skincare
After your treatment, gentle skincare is essential. Stock up on fragrance-free cleansers, soothing moisturizers, and high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin as it heals. Post-treatment skin care is crucial for extending the benefits of your Vivace session.
10. Wear Loose, Comfortable Clothing
On the day of your Vivace treatment, opt for loose-fitting, comfortable clothing, especially around the neck and upper chest if those areas will be treated. This can help avoid friction or irritation post-treatment and keeps you comfortable throughout the procedure.
11. Mind Your Diet
In the week leading up to your appointment, focus on hydrating from the inside out. Aside from drinking plenty of water, you should eat foods rich in vitamins A and C, which support skin health. A well-hydrated body promotes healing and can enhance the effectiveness of the Vivace treatment, making skin more receptive to the collagen-stimulating benefits.
