Vivace microneedling with radiofrequency works by heating the deeper layers of skin while stimulating new collagen growth. The result is a more toned, firmer skin texture.
At AIVI Aesthetics Med Spa, we use the best-in-class Vivace RF device designed for exceptional patient comfort and results. Our procedure uses a numbing agent and a custom healing mask to minimize treatment discomfort.

Vivace is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency energy. The combination approach is much more effective for improving the appearance of a wide variety of skin concerns than traditional microneedling alone. These include acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone and texture, enlarged pores, and skin laxity. The Vivace procedure is safe for all skin types and ethnicities, and it can help reduce the signs of aging in both younger and older patients.
During the treatment, a specialized device is used to create microchannels in the skin using an array of needles. The microchannels are then soaked in SELPHYL Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix, which helps maximize the bodyโs natural healing process. Once the microchannels have been soaked in, an RF energy treatment is delivered through the insulated microneedles to the deeper layers of skin. This energy heats the tissue and stimulates collagen production.
The Vivace Experience is a first-of-its-kind treatment approach that delivers superior, long-lasting results. It is also a very comfortable treatment, since we use a special cooling peptide mask to soothe the skin. This soothing mask is infused with Binterin (CD99) peptides and is clinically proven to increase collagen growth and reduce redness and inflammation.
Another benefit of Vivace is that it does not require a topical anesthetic. Most patients report that the treatment is very comfortable and painless.
During a Vivace RF microneedling treatment, an insulated device is used to create thousands of tiny micro-punctures in the skin. The needles penetrate to the second layer of the skin, called the dermis, where the collagen and elastin work to provide firmness and structure to the skin. The Vivace device is also able to deliver radiofrequency energy at the right depth in the skin, unlike other stand-alone RF treatments that can cause burns at the surface of the skin.
The needles are infused with a hydrating serum during the treatment to keep the skin moist and protected. Vivace can be performed on all skin types, and there is no downtime associated with this noninvasive procedure. Patients may experience mild redness or swelling after the treatment, but this is normal and should subside within a few days. It is important for patients to follow the aftercare instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Patients may also experience some mild skin flaking, which is a result of the skinโs natural healing process and should resolve on its own.
While Vivace is one of the best options for treating a wide variety of skin conditions, it is not recommended for those who have a serious medical condition or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Those with sensitive skin should speak to a specialist before considering this treatment.

The Vivace treatment is very safe for sensitive skin, especially in the hands of a skilled medical professional. Like any minimally invasive procedure, it does have some side effects that can be uncomfortable, such as pinpoint bleeding and scabbing. These side effects typically resolve within a few days of your treatment session. Some patients may experience a red or pink hue that resembles a sunburn, but it only lasts a few hours or less. During your initial consultation, we will assess your skinโs tolerance for the Vivace treatment and apply a topical numbing cream prior to your treatment session to ensure maximum comfort.
The main difference between Vivace and regular microneedling is that Vivace incorporates the heating effect of radiofrequency energy to boost skin rejuvenation. The added thermal energy helps to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and promotes collagen growth, resulting in smoother, younger-looking skin with fewer imperfections. The combination of RF and microneedling also reduces healing time from the treatment, as the body works quickly to regenerate new tissue that is more even in tone and texture.
Vivaceโs best-in-class technology provides optimal results for all skin types and tones, including darker complexions. This is accomplished through the use of a revolutionary linear array ultrasound imaging system that allows the practitioner to visualize and target the underlying tissues of the skin. Additionally, Vivaceโs patented conductive platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) and a cooling peptide mask are used to enhance the results of the treatment.
When Vivace is performed by an experienced provider, the treatment is highly effective in targeting scars, wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and other aesthetic issues. Many patients begin to see improved skin texture and tone after just one series of Vivace treatments, with optimal results achieved after multiple treatments. The rejuvenated collagen produced by Vivace results in long-lasting improvements to the skin that can be maintained with regular maintenance treatments.
Conclusion #
While it’s important to always consult with a skin specialist, Vivace RF Microneedling can often be a suitable treatment for sensitive skin. Here’s why:
- Customization: At AIVI Aesthetics, we adjust Vivace treatments based on your skin’s sensitivity. This includes needle depth, RF intensity levels, and topical numbing agents.
- Gentle Technology: Vivace’s insulated gold-tipped needles and robotic insertion motor help minimize irritation compared to some other microneedling devices.
- Topical Numbing: We use a powerful compounded numbing cream to reduce discomfort significantly throughout the procedure.
- Post-Treatment Care: We provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored for sensitive skin to promote quick healing and prevent irritation.
It’s essential to disclose your sensitive skin during your consultation. Your AIVI Aesthetics specialist will assess your skin type and determine if Vivace is a safe and appropriate option for you. We may start with a very gentle test patch to gauge your skin’s response before proceeding with a full treatment.
