Vivace microneedling with radio frequency is FDA-cleared to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten skin, improve texture and tone, and help soften acne scarring. The procedure is quick and requires little to no downtime.
Patients may experience mild redness and swelling immediately following their treatment, but this usually fades within a day or two. Combined with restorative skincare treatments and proper sun protection, results are long-lasting.
How long will my downtime last? #
Vivace microneedling is a minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that produces amazingly dramatic results. This virtually painless treatment uses needles to penetrate the surface of your skin, creating micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin. The result is a smoother skin tone, smaller pores, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help to fade scars and stretch marks. Most patients require multiple treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Vivace also offers some skin-tightening benefits to improve mild skin laxity.

Vivace treatment is a quick, minimally invasive and virtually pain-free skin tightening and rejuvenation procedure. Vivace uses microneedling to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response and boost collagen production. This tightens loose skin, shrinks pores, reduces scarring and fades stretch marks and other blemishes. You’ll see immediate results, which improve over time with additional treatments. Depending on your skin’s reaction, you may need to limit sun exposure or wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen after treatment. It is also important to follow your skincare provider’s specific post-treatment instructions to promote healing and ensure the best possible outcome.
You should avoid applying makeup or sunscreen to the treated area until it is fully healed, usually within 24 hours. This is to avoid irritating the microchannels created in your skin.
Will I be able to wear makeup? #
The Vivace microneedling procedure is performed with minimal downtime, which makes it possible to return to work and other activities immediately after treatment. However, patients should refrain from wearing makeup for at least a day after their Vivace session in order to promote healing. Additionally, patients should avoid using harsh skincare products that could irritate the skin, as well as taking hot baths or showers.
The treatment combines the power of microneedling with LED light therapy. The LED lights stimulate collagen, calm the skin, reduce inflammation, and minimize redness for little to no downtime. Additionally, the Vivace device features a cooling mask that is infused with peptides and soothing ingredients for immediate comfort.
Vivace uses microneedling to create tiny punctures in the skin that trigger the body’s natural healing process and boosts collagen production. It also helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, shrink pores, improve the appearance of acne scarring, soften stretch marks, fade sun spots, and tighten mild jowling or sagging skin.
A Vivace session can be customized to target different concerns and areas of the face or body. Patients who have sagging skin around the jawline, neck, chest, or abdomen, for example, may benefit from multiple Vivace sessions in conjunction with other treatments, including Thermage.
While many of the Vivace benefits are immediate, the results will continue to improve over time as new collagen and elastin build up in the skin. As a result, patients can expect optimal results that last up to six months, though biannual “touch-up” treatments may be required for maintenance and long-term results.

Will my skin be sensitive? #
Most microneedling treatments require the use of a topical numbing cream to prevent discomfort, and the Vivace treatment is no exception. Once the numbing cream has had time to take effect, your skin specialist will gently and methodically move the Vivace handpiece across your face, targeting your desired areas.
Once the Vivace device has rolled across your skin, it will emit an RF energy to stimulate collagen production. Depending on your concerns, this may involve a single pass or several passes over the area being treated. For patients with fine lines and wrinkles, one Vivace session can result in noticeable improvement within a week. Patients looking to soften the appearance of scarring or shrink pores can also benefit from a series of Vivace treatments.
For the most dramatic results, Vivace microneedling with RF is best used in conjunction with PRP. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a concentrated serum that contains your body’s natural healing abilities. When mixed with the Vivace needles and applied to your skin, this serum promotes regeneration over the course of the build-up phase following treatment.
After your Vivace treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm and tender, similar to a mild sunburn. Moisturizing products approved by your skin specialist will help soothe the area, and you should avoid UV exposure as your body heals. Your Vivace provider will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, and it’s important to follow them closely to maximize your recovery and achieve the most desirable outcomes.
Vivace microneedling with rf and PRP is a great option for almost any patient interested in a non-invasive treatment to tighten moderate skin laxity and smooth crepey skin commonly seen on the neck, upper arms, and chest. Unlike more invasive procedures, such as Thermage, Vivace does not require any anesthesia or downtime for recovery, so you can schedule your appointment and return to your regular routine immediately.
With a 91% satisfaction rate on RealSelf, Vivace RF microneedling with PRP is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a minimally-invasive, fast-recovery skin rejuvenation treatment. It is safe for all skin tones and types, can be performed during a lunch break, and is highly effective for producing stunning results.
Conclusion #
Vivace RF Microneedling is considered a minimally invasive treatment with relatively little downtime. Most people experience mild redness and possible minor swelling for the first 24-48 hours. However, here’s a general timeline of what to expect:
- Day 1-2: Skin redness and sensitivity are typically at their peak.
- Day 3-5: Redness subsides, and any pinpoint marks fade. Some dryness or tightness might occur as your skin heals.
- Day 6-7: Your skin should return largely to normal. Slight residual pinkness is possible and will continue to improve.
While most patients can comfortably return to work or social activities within 1 or 2 days, individual experiences might vary. Your AIVI Aesthetics specialist will advise on the best aftercare practices and when to resume normal skincare routines. Following these guidelines will optimize your results and recovery time.
