How does Vivace work?

We use the vivace device for all our RF Microneedling procedures. When the pins of this device enter the skin, they transmit radio frequency energy through multiple levels of the skin. Through this process, the skin receives both a controlled physical injury, (as you do with all Microneedling devices), plus the added effect of heat. This dual effect in multiple layers of the skin creates dramatic collagen production and skin tightening.

Can you do neck tightening? 

Yes, of course you can tighten your neck with vivace. In fact, we recommend treating your face, neck and chest all at the same time because these areas are exposed to the elements and are quick to age.

Why is RF Microneedling safer than lasers?

The epidermis is very prone to pigmentation problems if not protected. Knowing this, we prefer RF Microneedling which uses coated needles that protect the top layer of skin (epidermis) from heat injury. As a result, our process eliminates the risk of pigmentation or discolouration. Lasers, however cannot avoid the top layer of the skin. This is why laser treatments are riskier for tan or dark skin. RF Microneedling, on the other hand, is safe and effective for any skin colour.

Prior to Vivace treatment we offer patients a medical consultation to educate, discuss concerns, find out medical history and consider the most beneficial and safest treatment options.
