VIVACE MICRONEEDLING Q & A
What is Radiofrequency Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure stimulates the natural production of collagen to alleviate facial wrinkles, fine lines and shallow scars anywhere on the body. The Vivace Experience ™ microneedling device with radiofrequency is designed for an incomparable, comfortable patient experience.
If you are a candidate, prior to your Vivace Experience™, Kelly will ensure your skin is numb. A robotic arm delivers very tiny, microscopic punctures into the epidermis of the skin using very fine sterile stainless-steel needles. These tiny wounds in the skin tell your body to heal itself by stimulating collagen production. Radio frequency provides heat that further stimulates the dermis to produce collagen and aid in recovery time.
What improvements can microneedling make to my skin?
Microneedling treatments promote youthful, radiant-looking skin and evens out skin texture and pore size, which leaves skin softer, smoother and rejuvenated.
At your initial consultation, you’ll identify the concern that you’d like to target with the treatment. Nearly 90% of patients who have had microneedling would recommend this treatment to friends and family.
The treatments can improve:
- Acne scars
- Skin laxity and texture
- Enlarged pores/span>
- Wrinkles and lines
After you finish treatment, your skin feels silky and looks years younger. Depending on the condition of your skin when you begin treatment, you may need to commit to several treatments to see an optimal improvement.
What can I expect for my microneedling appointment?
At your consultation, Kelly gives you instructions for how to prepare for a successful microneedling treatment. Be prepared to stop taking certain medications and using certain skin products for a few days leading up to your treatment.
When you arrive at the office, Kelly spreads a topical anesthetic across your skin to lessen your discomfort during the procedure. Then, she uses an FDA-cleared medical device to make tiny punctures in your skin, prompting a healing process that improves skin quality with little to no downtime.
