Can Vivace cause hyperpigmentation, especially with darker skin tones?

Vivace RF Microneedling is generally considered safe for all skin tones. However, it’s important to be aware of the following:

  • Risk Factors: While minimal, those with darker skin tones have a slightly higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after any procedure that stimulates the skin’s healing process.
  • Minimizing Risk: At AIVI Aesthetics, we take precautions to reduce the risk of PIH, including:
    • Skin Assessment: We evaluate your skin and potential risk factors.
    • Treatment Customization: We adjust Vivace intensity and depth accordingly.
    • Strict Sun Protection: We emphasize the importance of pre- and post-procedure sun protection to prevent hyperpigmentation.
  • Addressing Existing PIH: If you already have hyperpigmentation, your AIVI Aesthetics specialist might recommend a treatment plan to fade it before proceeding with Vivace.

By choosing an experienced provider and adhering to all aftercare instructions, you can significantly minimize your risk of hyperpigmentation, regardless of your skin tone.
